Mccandless Opening Paragraph
Opening Paragraph McCandless was searching for freedom and the chance to truly become an individual. Alaska gave McCandless a place where he could be far away from everything that held him back. One of these was certain human relationships in his life. “You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships.” (Krakauer,42) McCandless did not feel that he needed people around him to feel happy. Next Sentence
One major change that McCandless had was his opinion on relationships. ”And so it turned out that only a life similar to the life of those around us, merging with it without a ripple, is genuine life, and that an unshared happiness is not happiness.... And this was most vexing of all,” he noted, “HAPPINESS

    Finally in Chapter 8, the reader is given insight into the types of letters Krakauer received, after having previously written an article about McCandless, with most of the incoming mail giving harsh criticism on the young traveler's story for being mentally ill, and unprepared. Yet McCandless isn’t the only one to go off on to a far fetched adventure out into the Alaskan wilderness, as one school teacher put it, with Krakauer offering three other examples of others with stories like McCandless. These other stories of Rosellini, Waterman, and McCunn, also prove Christopher McCandless’s uniqueness despite there being similarities between him and of the many others who shared the same philosophy as McCandless. Different in a sense that McCandless,…

    After he came up dead and his story popped up in the newspaper many people gave their opinion on his decisions. One of the harshest of them said, “amounts of disrespect to the land… just another case of underprepared, over confident men bumbling around out there and screwing up because they lacked the requisite humility” (51). Most of these came from Alaskans who know how harsh the land could be but John Krakauer the author of the book Into The Wild believed otherwise. McCandless wasn’t crazy for what he did, he was just unfamiliar with the area but if he was crazy he wouldn’t have lasted in the wilderness as long as he did. (59)…

    Throughout chapter three, Krakauer touches on how Chris had a relatively normal, cookie cutter childhood, stating “In truth McCandless had been raised in the comfortable upper-middle-class environs of Annandale, Virginia” (19). McCandless, being a successful graduate with “a history and anthropology major with a 3.72 grade-point average,” (20) had a list of endless opportunities he could pursue. But, the ‘American dream’ seemed a little too conforming to McCandless, so he decided after graduating to leave for Alaska. After his graduation, “his exact words were ‘I think I’m going to disappear for awhile.’” before he departed on his trip to the Alaskan Odyssey. Pulling on the heartstrings of the audience, Krakauer uses McCandless’ lack of conscious and the worry of his parents to appeal to…

    Christopher McCandless was a bright young man who had graduated from Emory University, and was an avid outdoorsman. An article was written after his death, “Death of an Innocent” that discussed his time in Alaska as well as his motives for traveling there. A movie was later made about his adventures in 1992 and 1993 titled “Into The WIld”. Chris’s journey was all in an effort to achieve a higher level of transcendental thinking, transcendentalism being the belief that in order to understand the nature of reality, one must first examine and analyze the reasoning process that governs the nature of experience. Christopher McCandless had a generous heart, and was a good person which is to be admired, but he was also a fool for thinking that he…

    Although Chris McCandless is in many ways viewed as a transcendentalist, by criteria, he consistently contradicts himself throughout his Alaskan journey of self-realization in Into the Wild. Transcendentalism can be portrayed by three main characteristics. One trait is the notion of a prioritization of the individual. Another trait includes the concept of intelligence commencing with self-knowledge derived from experience and mistakes. The last criterion of a transcendentalist is that one must thoroughly understand him or herself as an individual in order to achieve in personal happiness. McCandless attempts to emulate his literary inspirations such as Thoreau and Tolstoy by venturing alone into the wild Alaskan frontier with the goal of achieving a sense of self-actualization, but he realizes during his trek that his expectations do not fulfill him as a being.…

    McCandless told a man by the name Alex Stuckey “he didn’t want to see a single person, no airplanes, no sign of civilization. He wanted to prove to himself that he could make it own his own, without anybody else’s help.” (Krakauer 205). It was important to McCandless to at least try to make it without any help, and to him the only way he could prove that to himself…

    McCandless early year of his life was abusive and unsettling because his father abused him in many ways that only siblings and he can explain. His father also had another family and impacted McCandless. McCandless could express it. Growing up, his family wanted the best for him. His parents believed that they could buy his respect. McCandless thought other. Overall, Chris McCandless’s childhood wasn’t the best. His journey was the highlight of his life until it came to the end. He was poisoned and suffered for many days with an illness of starvation and was barely able to stand up. During his last days, Chris McCandless writes, “‘I HAVE HAD A HAPPY LIFE AND THANK THE LORD. GOODBYE AND MAY GOD BLESS ALL!’” (Krakauer 199). Chris McCandless finally opened eyes to see what he had in front of him because he realized that his family did care for him and that the people he met along the way gave him happiness, but was too much of a fool to realize. Another most obvious reason for Chris McCandless being a fool for him leaving his life. He left his family, money and career behind to go chase his goal to Alaska. It was awfully nice of him to donate his money to charity, but he lost everything he…

    Family, friends, and possessions pressure individuals through the imposition of values that contribute to identity; we are told that we obtain our qualities simply by inheritance and association. The environment one chooses to surround themselves reflects similar learned behaviors and thought processes. Deviating from the norm is often contemptible, but natural, according to author Jon Krakauer. Realizing that he did not want to become a carbon copy of his parents and environment, Christopher McCandless wandered the American West for two years, as a nomad, to reject society as he knows it―his family, friends, and possessions. He burns his money, abandons his car, and cuts all ties with his family on an identity crisis that would lead to his…

    McCandless, to most people who live in Alaska and have heard little about his journey, believed it was his arrogance and questioned state of mind are the reasons why he failed this trip and ended up dying. I believe it was his passion and loneliness. McCandless had the drive to live the way life was described in the eyes of his heros like Tolstoy and Thoreau, determined to do it even if it killed him. Krakauer writes, "McCandless was thrilled to be on his way north, and he was relieved as well—relieved that he had again evaded the impending threat of human intimacy, of friendship, and all the messy emotional baggage that comes with it. He had fled the claustrophobic confines of his family. He’d successfully kept Jan Burres and Wayne Westerberg at arm’s length, flitting out of their lives before anything was expected of him. And now he’d slipped painlessly out of Ron Franz’s life as well,” (Krakauer 55). This passage tells you about McCandless’s deep problems with intimacy, which is connected to and ultimately the reason why his two-year journey for meaning and peace ended fatally. During these two years, McCandless meets lots of other’s but he always managed to maintain a certain distance because if he were to be influenced or care…

    After blowing some dust off the counter and inscribed plaque, you may find writings by a brilliant man. As you look out the window of an abandoned bus that was made into a temporary shelter in the Alaskan bush, located in the vast of white wilderness, you may wonder, “What was Christopher McCandless thinking?” McCandless began his fatal journey in 1990 after graduating from Oxford University and always had an urge to move and be nomadic. When Jon Krakauer published an article regarding Chris McCandless’ death in the Outside magazine, letters began pouring in from all around the nation. Many people believed Chris was a hero for following his dreams while others, like Craig Medred, believed Chris was a dumb teenager who hurt himself and others around him. In his article “McCandless’ Story Isn’t Really Told in the Book or the Film,” Craig Medred concludes Chris was mentally ill. Medred argues that Krakauer simply romanticized a schizophrenic man for solely one purpose: to benefit his writing; however, I disagree with Medred’s allegations to Krakauer and McCandless and believe Chris did what he felt was right: follow his dream.…
