Chris McCandless

McCandless wanted to consist an independent and self-reliant life history. As a child, he grew up in a materialistic and dysfunctional family. Although he had a close human relationship with his sister, Carine, Chris preferred isolating himself. It was unimaginably laborious for Chris to have a relationship with his father after he had set up out about his fathers second family. Chriss mother, Billie, didnt have much of a relationship with him either.For Chris, being alone was normal and part of his actually day routine. As he got older he wanted much and more(prenominal) to watch on his get and be in the wild. Chris and his family would go to the mountains e precise socio-economic class to visit which gave Chris this love for nature. He wanted to live in his own Utopia, in the wild. McCandless wasnt careless or delusional. He was determined, and focused on his caper at hand to, in his own words, no longer be poisoned by civilization, and walk alone to aim lost in the wil d. He met many plenty through-out his travels owards Alaska, except didnt stay a worry long to become attached to them. On April 28, 1992, James G allien gave Christopher McCandless a ride to the Stampede quest after in Alaska where Christopher set out to begin in Journey into the wild. This was the function date that anyone ever saw Christopher McCandless alive. Walking into Denali National Park with a . 22 caliber rifle and a 10 pound clasp of rice isnt necessarily ridiculous, but expecting to survive an entire summer score no thing but the land and wild game certainly is.Chris cross-file many books by his favorite, Jack London being one. Jack wrote a book about the wild and the d enkindles of being in it, which is where Chris got close towhat breathing in from. Chris carved the phrase Jack London is king in a tree stump near his campsite.. Chris writing that phrase shows that his quest went far than remembering himself. Chris wanted a connection with nature. He did w hat he was try for and although his ending was tragic, he still did it by himself and without anyone or anything.Chris McCandlessMishandles was not crazy, he wasnt stupid, and he defiantly was not looking for a way to fleet. Although both(prenominal) may consider of them as selfish, he had his reasons for packing up his a few(prenominal) belongings, leaving his family and walking Into the Wild. The decease of Chris Mishandles was an accidental tragedy. Chris and his dad never truly got along ( descent One. ) They were both stubborn making it impossible to check over on anything. They both always had to be right. Chris decided to be the bigger psyche though and stick to his mother and fathers plan for IM through college.He TLD complain and he even visited them occasionally throughout his college career. He loved his family, but he couldnt handle being around them anymore. He had kept all his anger and frustration built up inside of him and his only option was to leave. He ne ver intended to hurt his family. He just needed some time away. Chris needed some time to cool off and stymy about his family troubles. Once he entrap out about his fathers nuptials problems, forgetting about his family problems seemed impossible.In Chrisms mind getting as far away get on his dad and his family as possible was the best option. The only option. So thats what he did. He didnt mean to hurt his family or himself In any way. some believe that Chrisms family problems had gotten the best of him and that he was asky to put an end to his life. It is vile to think that because he went into the Alaskan wild completely prepared for the hail of time that he planned on staying there. Even though offset One never mentions Chris having a map, Source two says Counter to the limning in the Krause book and Penn film, ChrisMishandles carried Into the wild a wallet with multiple sources of Identification and $ccc In cash. As well as a map. If Chris had Intended to die tour h e was out there he wouldnt have taken the money, the ID, and especially not the map. Source One says that Chris went to the local Alaska university library to interrogation edible plants and berried that he could gather and eat. If he didnt plan on surviving then he wouldnt have been worried about eating. He similarlyk a gun and bullets with him too. He was well equipped to get victuals and seemed homogeneous he planned on surviving.In Chrisms Journal entries In rattling(a) he wrote that hothouse he had accomplished his goal to live In the Alaskan wilderness and thought It was time to go home. He walked all the way back to the river and couldnt cross because it was too wild. He wasnt all too concerned because he had enough knowledge and supplies to survived for a while longer. If Chris had very wanted to die in Alaska he wouldnt have waited until August to do so. For living on the streets with no permanent home for so long, Mishandles was very good with people.He met lots of them before he went to Alaska and even met a ewe while he was there. Wayne Westerners, Jan Burros, Ron Franz were a few of the people he met during his travels (Source One. ) He was very easy to get along with and worked hard for them. They all loved him. He didnt seem like he had a problem with getting too attached to people because he always planes on coming back. He wrote to them and kept them updated and promised to come visit. He was very good forever. The Alaskan wilderness was a very dangerous attitude to Just wonder into as Chris did and he found that out.He caused his family terrible worry and sorrow and would have been more observant and cautious when crossing the river. Realizing that it wouldnt be as calm in August as it was when he crossed it. He do some mistakes, but then again, dont we all? Christopher Mishandles followed his dreams and not everybody gets the chance to do that. Source one says The peculiar thing is that he went out and did the things he daydream ab out, not simply for a two-weeks vacation in the civilized and cut wonderlands, but for months and months in the midst of wonder.. And thats exactly what Mishandles did.Yes he died, and it as dangerous, but he died successful. He followed all his dreams and accomplished all his goals before he died, which is not something everyone can claim to have done. Chris Mishandles was an independent, stubborn individual who knew what he wanted and wasnt afraid to go get it. He made a few mistakes here and there (such as crossing the river and not knowing how to clean and cook the moose) but everybody makes mistakes. His Just happened to cost him his life. He didnt go into the wild hoping for death. He went searching for independence and thats exactly what he found.Chris McCandlessTo me Chris McCandless was a dedicated and adventurous young man. He was very dedicated to the thing he loved. When people told him what to do he very rarely listened to them, so to me he was very independent. When he was put to a job he was very dedicated to it, it didnt matter what it was. Like when he locomote to the town where Wayne Westerberg live he was put to work and all the people he worked with agreed that he was a very hard work person.When Chris decided to go into the wilderness to live, he wanted to start a new life he wants to find out who he is. whence again what his sister Carine said also seem very dead on target about Chris, Chris knew exactly who he was. He was searching for a place in this world that he fit into, where he could be straightforward to himself. He didnt just want to think about the consequence of life, he actually wanted to live it for himself. He when traveling to find true triumph and beauty. That is the reason he did all what he did. I think Christopher McCandless went Into the Wild to detect what is summed up in his quote happiness is only real when shared, something I think he found out far too late. He went all that way to discover that somethin g is only really worth experiencing if you can share it with someone else.Before Chris died I do think he found what he was looking for. I think that he felt that there was truth out in the wild that there wasnt in his life at home. I think that he would have stay as long as he did if he didnt find what he was looking for. I think that he finally found a place where he belonged and place where he finally fit in. I totally agree with what Jon Krakauer statement when he says that Chris wasnt a nutcase, sociopath, or an outcast. I think he was a very upbeat and inspirational person.I love how he was and how he thought. I think it was very unique of him to think that live on his own in Alaska would help him find out who he was. I can compare myself to Chris in many ways like when he likes to be alone to think and when he can read his favorite authors books over and over again. With a wealthy and successful family he ditch virtually everything for a new life, it think that was very put up of him. He never had anything planed he just went with it. He never knows what life had waiting for him out there but Im lovely sure he could wait to find out. I dont think he was scared inanyway, I feel like he was more curious and excited then scared.Chris made a decision and many others on his two year journey to Alaska. He made these decisions with certain traits that he possesses, whether they were strengths that helped him or weaknesses that lead to his unfortunate death by starvation but I felt that they all made him out to be who he was. If only he would have brought more things with him on his journey, he could have been destine for many great things.
