Chris Mccandless Journey In Into The Wild
Chris McCandless in Into The Wild is quite the adventurer, he travels all across the pacific region only to find himself a death of starvation. He felt no remorse for leaving his parents family and friends all for a life of adventure. Similar to chris in his rebel spirit was the early astronomer Galileo Galilei. He proposed theories in his era of science that seemed impossible and absurd to his peers(Marks 2). That took courage and guts to stand up against the odds and do what you love. These two individuals didn’t fear for what people thought of them they only cared for what they believed in.

In Alex's case it was very near and dear to him to live a simple life with only necessities(Krakauer 45). In Galileo's case his life was dedicated to science and nothing was going to stop him from it.
Chris shows his dedication by not stopping his journey in multiple cases.
People such as Ron Franz, and Wayne Westerberg give him countless tidbits of helpful advice to survive(Krakauer 121) Ron Franz even offers to adopt Chris knowing that this dangerous adventure will kill him eventually(Krakauer 86). Galileo was not absent of struggles with his career, in his early studies as many scientists struggle with this, he couldn't find funding for his research. Not unlike Chris Galileo was said to be very intelligent and attended Princeton.(Marks 1).
In conclusion, These two people in their own respects didn't conform to society's rules they lived very different lives but they ignored their obstacles and achieved their dreams. Chris, living a very minimalist and transcendentalist lifestyle. Galileo living his life of solitude and focusing on his studies. Both chasing a dream but in very different ways. Obstacles came their way but they were no match for their unfaltering
