When Chris left, he wanted to escape his former life and not be tied to anything. I can understand how he wanted to leave the burdons of everyday life behind and start a new life for himself on his own terms.

The most admirable trait of Chris is the fact that he isn't afraid to try new things. He embraced almost everything and everyone he came into contact with. He was having a great time, until his adventurous spirit led to his death after 2 years.

"make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing"

This means that in order to find what truly makes you happy, you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone and embrace new things that come your way.

Bucket list 1 swim with dolphins. 2 view the northern lights 3 act in a major film. The thing I admire most about Chris is his determination. He knows what he wants and he doesn't let anyone get in his way. Chris knew it would be difficult but he knew what he was getting into. It takes a certain kind of courage to do something that everyone around you frowns upon. "Please return all mail to sender, as it may be a long time before I return South again. If this adventure proves fatal and you never hear from me again, I want you to know you're a great man. I know walk into the wild." I thought this passage was really meaningful because it shows how Chris acknowledges that what he was doing was dangerous, but it compelled him all the same. I also liked this passage because it showed Chris actually showing emotion and caring for someone else. Some people thought this might have been suicidal, but I think this just proves how committed he was to seeing this thing through. Chris and I are similar in the way that we both disagree with our fathers more often than we agree. It's easy to imagine leaving as he did, butter I know I couldn't survive in the wilderness by myself. I come from a wealthy family so I can understand how suffocating it can be, and how perfect the fathers appear on the outside

One word to describe Into the Wild: Deliberation

# data[].attributes.body
BUCKET LIST:

1. Swim with dolphins

2. See the Northern Lights

3. Act in a major film

"Please return all mail i receive to sender. It may be a very long time before i return South. If this adventure proves fatal and you don't ever hear from me again, I want you to know you're a great man. I now walk into the wild."

I respect Chris's determination and his unwillingness to give up. Even though he is warned by many native Alaskan hunters of the dangers of the wild, Chris knows what he wants and he doesn't let anyone get in his way. People are too easily persuaded by others but Chris stands firm for what he believes and doesn't let anyone tell him otherwise

I think this postcard shows true responsibility because he acknowledges that he is taking major risks and may not return. I don't believe he was on a suicide mission, he just simply acknowledging that he's not stupid and knows he may not return. This also involves a bit of cleverness on his part because this slows his parents search for him, which also shows his independence. He isn't heartless though and he shows people he cares.

This relates to my life in the way that my father and i clash a lot, and sometimes it would be nice to be completely independent, to go survive in the woods. I understand his desire to get away from it all, and to do something diffrerent, something completeley free of others opinions and judgements.

BUCKET LIST:

1. Wingsuit Diving

2. Experience The Northern Lights

3. Walk On The Moon

...believe that what you desire is no less than what you deserve, to assume that if you want something badly enough, it is your God-given right to have it. (155)
-This meaningful quote aspires me to always believe in what I desire and to achieve that goal, because it is my will and right to do so. The quote will always remind me that nothing is forbidden and to do what I believe in.

-Chris McCandless's most admirable aspect is his motives for taking this dangerous adventure to better himself personally and not to gain any fame or fortune. I admire this venture, because he was doing this to find himself and not for any other means.

-I can connect to Chris McCandless's decisions and motives by not always thinking things all the way through all the time. I feel that we both act in the moment and not consider how it may affect us in the future. We are both quick on our feet when situations pop up and try to achieve things on our own.

BUCKET LIST:

1. Travel outside of the country

2. Jump out of an airplane

3. Ride in a helicopter in Hawaii

MEANINGFUL QUOTE:

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

-This quote pretty much explains Chris's entire life. He wanted to be something that didn't involve sitting behind a desk and conforming to the norms of society. He wanted to live off of the land with an adventurous spirit and he did not want to conform in any way possible.

The most admirable part of McCandless' story was his overall goal that he had in life. However arrogant and unprepared he was, he wanted to be free from the lock of society and live a life where he could have no restrictions and nothing tying him down such as money or social status. That is a very respectable thing to do in today's world.

Chris can be connected to me in the sense that we both do not know exactly what we want in life. Chris went to college mostly for his parent's happiness and well-being, and I am planning on going to college for myself as well as to make my parents and family proud. I do not know exactly what I want in college, and I am hoping to find that out as I go. Chris knew that he wanted to live off of the land in the Alaskan wilderness, but I'm sure he had some major doubts as to what he really wanted to do.

MEANINGFUL QUOTE:

“make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure."

- This is Chris telling Franz that in order to find out what makes you truly happy, you must first push yourself out of your comfort zone and embrace the new things that come your way.

SOMETHING I RESPECT ABOUT CHRIS:

I think the most admirable thing about Chris is his ability to embrace almost anything or anyone. Even though he was on the path to a wealthy and predominant life, he chose to travel the country, embracing almost anything or anyone he had the opportunity to. By doing this, he probably had the best 2 years of his life before he starved to death in Alaska.

HOW CHRIS'S DECISION RELATES TO MY LIFE

Chris's decision can relate to my life in a way. Everyone has a part of themselves that wants to abandon their job or their school in order to just leave their burdens behind and start a new life for themselves somewhere far away.
