CONNECTIONS!!

In chapter 14 Krauker talks about his own personal experiences when he was in a sense out in the wilderness. Such as when he decided to climb Devils Thumb in Alaska. This connection reminds me of times when I was a little kid playing in the forest and climging up trees in the neighborhood just for the fun of it. Alex makes me think at times about people and how some have no limits such as himself and what if their were thousands of people like him? What would the world be like? This book has a lot of controversal issues that allow me to question his motives and put myself in Mccandless shoes. I don't think Chris should have ever gone " Into The Wild."

  3. Jake there are many people like McCandless, they are the same people who get lost on Mt. Hood and die.

  4. yea that's what it made me think of hes kind of like a little kid in sense that its like nothing matters he has no worries he thinks he can just go around the country with hardly no money or gear and be OK he doesn't think things through very well. I also loved to play outside and explore through the woods when I was a kid
