"Samuel Walter McCandless, Jr., fifty-six years old, is a bearded, taciturn man with longish salt-and-pepper hair combed straight back from a high forehead."
Imagery: "a bearded, taciturn man with longish salt-and-pepper hair combed straight back from a high forehead"
"On weekends, when his high school pals were attending "keggers" and trying to sneak in Georgetown bars, McCandless would wander the seedier quarters of Washington, chatting with prostitutes and homeless people, buying them meals, earnestly suggesting ways they might improve their lives."
Character Development: Krakauer tells us this to show us how McCanlesss was always "detatched" from people his age"
