it of its license plates, and burned all of his cash. He would give himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp, and , by money and belongings, he would be free to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented. Craving a blank spot on the map, McCandless simply threw the maps away. Leaving behind his desperate parents and sister, he vanished into the wild. Chris was a normal guy who lived as everyone else and one day he made a snap decision to change his life. I believe the he made
personal belongings and just leave and live out on the road. Does this sound fun? To some it may sound horrible, why would anyone ever want to do that when you can just live comfortably at home. To others, it may sound like the best idea ever, Chris McCandless was one of the people who thought it was a great idea to go and live out in the road. He took it to an extreme and went out and lived in the Alaskan Wilderness, and now there is a story written about him, it is called “Into the Wild.” Into

After reading the book “Into The Wild” there are many words that come to mind when describing Christopher McCandless. To Jon Krakauer Chris McCandless was rash, but Krakauer insists that McCandless “wasn’t a nutcase, he wasn’t a sociopath, he wasn’t an outcast. McCandless was something else - although precisely what is hard to say. A pilgrim perhaps”(85). The real question still remains unanswered, what precisely was McCandless? Chris McCandless ultimately should be described as a romantic. Chris
It is worth to mention that the diseases that humans and local species of animals and plants have been able to develop immunity to, can be fatal in wild animals. Biological weapons are not only having direct effects on the genetic diversity of indigenous plants and animals, but also it is having direct and indirect catastrophic effects on vital plant and animal communities.

Having a wild black bear as a household pet is an extremely bad idea due to their many odd characteristics. Most people are used to having a dog or a cat, but bears are so different than them.

difficulties occur between the white and black, the wealthy and unfortunate, and the rulers and ruled.

Yet suspended I remained for some time, not held captive yet not set free, waiting for my dreams to grow so big that they would just burst me right out into a bigger world, blowing me beyond that skyline with such a speed that nothing
I believe that community is an important aspect in anybody’s life. As humans we are social creatures therefore community and human interactions are essential to our happiness. In Into the Wild, Chris McCandless does not have a community to identify with. McCandless leaves community behind to enter the wild.
