Author Style: At the beginning of every chapter, Krakauer puts passages of journals from people who have actually gone out into the Alaskan wilderness. I think he does this to give the reader an idea of what's going to happen in the upcoming chapter.
Chapter 13 pg. 123: "The trails I made led outward into the hills and swamps, but they led inward also. And from the study of things underfoot, and from reading and thinking, came a kind of exploration, myself and the land. In time the two became one in my mind."-John Haines
Simile: Haines does a good job of letting the reader know that he was basically meant to live in the wilderness and it had always been a part of his life.
I really like how he adds in the passages before he starts every chapter
