Chris's life , though cut short , was one that was all his own. Before Chris went into the wild he was an accomplished young man with a bright future ahead of him. But this bright future that seemed all but guaranteed wasn't the life Chris wanted to lead. So by taking the leap of leaving all his material items and family without a word , Chris found himself and how he wanted to spend his life. Just as the text describes , Chris was one of those individuals who was misunderstood in his time with all who knew him or heard his story questioning why he would give up he had for a life spent in the wilderness roaming around. Chris made the bold move in trusting himself and despite all criticism he found peace in himself which a thing a lot people can't say they found in their long lives.

'I Will Survive' by: Gloria Gaynor themes of loving yourself and persistence align well with similar themes in 'Self-Reliance'. An example being the lyric "And I grew strong ,And I learned how to get along" and "You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive" and a quote from the text "Nothing can bring you peace but triumph of principles." In the song Gloria has recently had her heart broken and felt like she couldn't go on with life without him. But as the song progresses Gloria realizes she doesn't need anyone else but herself to survive , she will continue through life depending on herself as the ultimate source of happiness and to not place all her happiness in someone else. The thesis of the song is the same as the one in 'Self-Reliance' which is in the title , to depend on yourself for ultimate bliss.
