1. Why do you think that the main character changed his name from Christopher McCandless to Alexander Supertramp?
2. Do you think that his relationship with his parents pursuad him to leave?
3. If Alex changed his identity, why wouldn't he tell Jim his last name? (Supertramp)
Well the change of the name was actually one of my connections.. I believe he did that in order to start fresh with his new life and so that his parents wouldnt be able to track him down.
ReplyDeleteHis relationship with his parents probably did have a role in why he left but I have a hard time believing it was his whole reason.
Maybe he wants to stay secretive? Alex is a pretty common name.. he might not want to make a connection with another human being
1- Because he did not want anybody to find him when they came looking for him.
ReplyDelete2- I think the relationship he had with his parents had zero effect on him leaving and that he would have left no matter what because he was such a free spirit
3- Because he did not want Jim to get him any help what so ever. It also made it so Alex did not leave a trail of where he had been if someone came looking for him their.
1. I think he changed his name so that his family would not be able to find him.
ReplyDelete2. I think it must have played a large role, he doesn't even tell them when he leaves.
3. he might not want people to start tracking him by that name so it makes a little gap in his travels if anyone is looking for him
1.Because it was part of his new life he wanted to start he wanted to be free and wild and start over.
ReplyDelete2.I belive it had a part of it, it kinda seems like they just give him everything and he dosent like it.
3.because it dosent sound like a real name so jim would have known that is not his real name
1. because he wanted to completely change his life around
ReplyDelete2.yes
3.cuz he didnt want jim to give him any help
