The hospitality was as cold as ice.” Wealth‚ fame‚ and love doesn’t give real happiness; one should choose truth to get peace in life.

    Into The Wild Essay Jon Krakauer wrote the book “Into the Wild”‚ and it is about a young man named Christopher McCandless who literally takes a journey into the wild.
