Here's where his journey began and where it ends....

# data[].attributes.body
This book is very different from the one I have read over the school years. You can tell that the author was interested in putting Christopher McCandless’s story out there in the world. In some chapters, I got mad at what Chris did and there was some time when he did something nice.

The Good: I would say that Chris has always been nice to everyone who was around him. It was nice what Chris did, which was helping out people and giving them food. Everybody liked having Chris because he seems like a nice guy to talk to. Chris has always wanted to travel around the world, which he wanted to achieve his goals and make them happen. Chris had everything but he decided to give it all away because Chris has always wanted to do everything on his own. Chris seems to happen on going on trips because he got the chance to make new friends and make new memories along the way. Chris was able to survive in Alaska for some months. Chris has always wanted to follow his dreams and he made it happen. Chris’s goal was to reach the greatest north into the wilderness in Alaska. Chris was in the wilderness for about 114 days. Chris wanted to disconnect from society. Chris would often go to different places during the summer.

The Bad: I would say that what Chris did was wrong for leaving his family behind without saying goodbye to them. It was kinda messed up when Chris didn’t want anyone to find out where he was going. He didn’t care about the consequences of the actions that would cost him and how bad they would affect the people around him. Chris wasn’t prepared for the trip to Alaska. He didn’t have any materials or supplies that would help him out during the trip. Whenever Chris met someone they would offer Chris some supplies or materials that would help him with his trip but he would often leave the supplies or materials behind because he didn't want to take them. Chris wouldn’t talk about how he was feeling or what was going on about his life. Whenever someone was close with Chris, he would disappear because he didn't want them to get attached. Chris didn't want to take the map because he wanted to do everything by himself. Chris left his sister behind which was messed up because they had always been close to each other.

I would say that I’m in the middle of the team Chris because there were times when Chris did nice things and there were sometimes many people who got hurt by Chris because he decided to disappear from everything he had. But, I would say that Chris wanted to follow his dream because it has been something he has been waiting to do. Chris wanted something different in his life, he wanted to challenge himself. Chris seemed super happy when he was heading to Alaska. There were many things that Chris should have done differently in his journey.

My favorite things are music and traveling...

# data[].attributes.body
My goal is to be able to learn and speak different languages because I have always wanted to communicate with people around the world. My other goal would be to be able to sing in front of huge crowds because it has always been my dream ever since I was a little girl. One of my first performances was in elementary school, where I sang a Christmas song. It gave me an opportunity because it showed me how passionate I am about music. Music has always been important to me because it gives me an opportunity to see what’s out there and do what I love doing. I would want people to see that music is very valuable throughout life. I would like to help others around me that are interested in music. I’m still debating whether I just want to be part of the music industry or be a music teacher in the future. I’m still not sure what the future holds for me but I know that I would definitely like to continue pursuing my dreams even if it becomes challenging. My odyssey is to be able to travel to places with my sisters in the future. I would like to be able to hike more often and experience new things along the way.

I would say that McCandless and I both have different life experiences and goals. When In College, I would like to take some classes for teaching because I would like to become a music teacher for some years. I would say that music has impacted around the world because there are many genres that people like listening to and one of the reasons why I would want to major in music is because music can help us to express how we feel and it helps to reduce stress. I hear that music has been scientifically proven to have a powerful effect on the brain and can also help in many aspects of the brain. I really hope someday I will be able to travel to many different places because it seems like a new experience to do.

"Kruakauer didn't say much in journal and nothing that definitive. 

# data[].attributes.body
The article talks about how Krakauer did more research on Chris’s case. Krakauer spent about $20,000 for seeds to be tested in the Michigan lab. It mentions that Chris has been in Alaska for 113 days. Some hunters found his body(¶.1)weeks later. The Alaska states believe the starvation has caused the death of Chris. In the journal, it mentions Krakauer had enough (¶.5)to inspire a series of hypotheses of the needs of Chris during his trip to Alaska. Krakauer decided (¶.6)to test the seeds to see whether it was neurotic. He wanted them to analyze seed samples. Krakauer found out that there wasn't any record of people eating (¶.11) the seeds that Chris ate. Maybe the plate has toxins. The plant gets toxins when the time changes over time. Krakauer has been explaining what Chris hasn't done wasn’t easy (¶.20) to do in Alaska. Chris has been in Alaska for months if Chris hasn't eaten the seeds he could have survived during his trip. The article talks a bit about how the plant was the same for jack bean, which would permanently paralyze about 100,000 people in the 20th century.

Analysis: I could see that Krakauer wanted to provide more information about Chris’s death. Many people know about not eating seeds, but Chris didn’t know that he shouldn't eat the seeds which can be very toxic or dangerous for his health. I was surprised how Krakauer spent about 20 years searching for clues about McCandless. I can't imagine how Chris didn't know about any of this information about the plant he has been eating for way.

"Call your parents as soon as possible".

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: The helicopter has needle brushes five (p.201) thousand feet. The stampede trail was stripe from east to the across west escape. Billie McCandless has a passenger seat that Walt and him. the ten hard months have passed (p.201) since sam has appeared telling them that Chris was dead. For several days has been distracted. Billie has arrived in Alaska two days ago. She confided (p.201) about visiting the bus since have difficult a term with it. Billie was sitting have Chris died on. It was a long time since she gazes silently (p.202) at her son's boot under the stove. She saw his handwriting on the wall and his toothbrush. There weren’t any tears. Billie's decision to leave a suitcase (202) There is a stock with a first aid kit, a canned fund, and other things that were survival supplies. She wrote a note that said: " Call your parents " as they were able to smell Chris' clothes. The suitcase had a bible that belonged to Chris when he was a child. She didn't pray after they lost him. Billie had seen a spoon with a distinctive floral pattern, which was a silverware they had in Annandale's house. Walt said that Chris seems to be very brave and strong at the end and not to do himself in.

Analysis: It took thirty minutes for Walt and Billie to walk quietly around the decrepit vehicle. It was sad because Chris’s mother picked up Chris and said that it smelled like him. Another thing that seems sad was when Chris’s mother wasn’t able to see him alive. I feel bad for his family because they were in pain not knowing where he was the whole time, but once Chris’s parents saw where he was, they understood why he came to Alaska. Many people did admit to Chris what he was trying to do. Billie and Walt watched the roof of the bus remain visible among the stunted trees and a tiny white gleam, a wild green growing smaller and smaller than it was all gone.

His final Words in his journal: "Beautiful Blueberries."

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: Chris had arrived (p.188) back at the bus on July 8. In his mind his journal betrays nothing. His escape routes have beans cut off. Chris had a dire circumstance (p.189) he was hungry and his meager to direct his body down to be a federal on July 30. His physical condition is good. His physical condition has died. He began (p.191) to cause the pea-like seed pods of the plant. Maybe it can be a root where it can become too hard to eat. There was a photo taken during one gallow overflowing. The low of the moldy seeds that Chris has found and weak and saving himself. They thought that Chris went to the cabin, ruined the place, and threw the food on the floor. In Chris’s journal or in his photographs to suggest he went anywhere near to the cabin. Chris was on the bus early in May. In his pictures, it shows that he was heading the north. It was difficult to imagine how he could destroy the building without even boasting of the deed in his diary. Chris wouldn’t do that because he donated his money to charity. Chris had a rash (p.192) and was incautious by nature and had a plant for another. Each journalist has written about how Chris has been a tragedy and drawn the same conclusion. Chris has only ate (p.195) a big slug of seeds that have already a semi- starving condition which has set up to a catastrophe. Chris hasn’t been considered to be a suspect by the National park service. If Chris has created a conflagration large enough to attract the attention of passing airplanes or burn something a giant SOS  into the muskeg. It mentions that Chris wouldn’t internationally burn down a forest because he wouldn’t even save his life.

Analysis: After reading this chapter it was very sad because he was all alone and he didn’t have anyone by himself. Chris had a hard time surviving in the wilderness because he didn’t have any food to eat, which made him weaker. Chris would have been alive if he only had a map or found a way to escape from the wilderness. It was sad when Chris gave up because he has known that he would die in Alaska, which I can’t imagine how he felt about that.

"McCandless reminds them a little too much of their former selves."

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: Chris decided not to cross the Teklanika River. The river was a faster-melting (p.173) snowpack that has the highest elevation of the Alaska range. Chris had a photograph of how the ford river looks. Chris had tried (p.174) to walk off the bush a year ago. If Chris had known that there was a canyon, he would be safe but he didn’t have any topographic map. If Chris had set open and filed a light it would be an easy way to make his base camp. Jon and his teamwork had distance (p.177) away from the bus and stared at it for silence. Chris’s life has hummed with the meaning (p.184) and purpose but he wrested existence from a comfortable path. Chris has distrusted the value of things. Roman answers by saying that living a life completely off the land months after months which were incredibly difficult and he is trying (p.185) to do. Chris had gathered and eaten his greatest quantity of food. People that Chris killed different animals but many people believed that he didn't kill a moose but it turns out the animal was a moose that he killed. Jon was thinking that his escape route had been cut off, he returned to the bus. One of the reasons for the course action could be the reach of starving. The capable sags were in the middle of the river and the rolling fast has a long steel strand.

Analysis: I think that everything would have been different if he had only taken the map with him because he would be able to see where the lake goes and how he can pass through it. Without getting hurt. Jon and his team have worked together going to Alaska and saw what the bus looked like and followed where Chris went too. Jon mentioned that in his backpack he had a 1:63, 360- scale topographic map that represents a mile. If Chris had used the Canyon that the U.S has but he would be able to go back with the world. One of the men mentioned that Chris was living in a difficult land. Jon talked about how Chris demanded much of himself and more to the end he could deliver.

McCandles gradually stopped rebuking himself for the waste of the moose....

Summary: Chris decided to pause and he discovered that his luck came along. Stuckey walked (p.158) out on the boardwalk, to find someone already who Chris had picked up from a man. The man mentioned Chris was a young man who introduced himself to Alex. He woke early on the morning of April 28, he walked down the highway (p.161) it was the first vehicle to come along. Chris had a hard time getting food in Alaska during his first week and it was a weakness and he has missed shots towards animals. McCandless had gathered and eaten in great quantity. Chris had seemed to move his need to assert so adamantly, he mentioned that he needed to separate from his parents. He was prepared (p.168) to give their imperfections and even prepared to forgive someone his own. It talks about how he was ready and perhaps on going home. It seems that McCandless had walked a mile or upstream (p.170) on discovering the river. Chris had no reason to risk it. The decision to just wait for the water drops the levels. In the wilderness surrounding (p.165) in the bus where Chris was living there. Chris mentioned that he was loose into the wild. He has spent nearly four months in the bush at all times. The decision to move his few possessions into the bus. McCandless had written a list of housekeeping chores. He had a good underline for the long term and he drew on more ambitious tasks, maps and repairing mess kit, and a network of hunting traits.

Analysis: In chapter 16 it mentions that Chris had a hard time during his journey. It was sad when Chris killed a moose and the meat ended up having maggots. He didn’t have a map during his trip which made it harder for him. Chris decided to wait patiently and wait. The river was very high because the ice had melted. Chris was a weak swimmer. He first crossed the river sixty-seven days earlier in the freezing temperature of April and it was icy. Chris seemed to be ready to go home.

Summary: Jon talks about how easily the expressions he receives his future to get going in the afternoon of the storm (p.146) any longer the clammy of a lump of frozen. The time left Corvallis to enroll in a distant college (p.148) where it grew. He told his father that he wanted to major in medical school. He graduated four years later. He was there for three days after retreating (p.150) from his first try. He only climbed about 120 feet. There was a lack of composure when the arrival turned around. There was an unlimbered line where the Beckley route (p.152) patches network Jon watched and transfixed on what steps he was going to take. He has never felt alone for a long time while being in Alaska. The insubstantial from a feather ensured (p.153) that the last twenty feet remained hard. There was a higher place to go but his lips felt cracked and painful. He made it at the top of the devil’s thumb. He talks about how he was raw of youth who mistook a passion insight. He thought that climbing to the devil’s thumb would fix his problem but it was all wrong because it hasn't changed anything. He talks about it has a similar affected on relationships with their fathers.

Analysis: Jon has been in the Devil’s thumb again and he was there for twenty days. Jon and McCandless have similarities to their father's relationship because McCandless’s dad wanted him to be a lawyer just like Jon’s father wanted him to be part of the medical field. They wanted them to be successful in life. Jon and Chris didn’t do the career that their father told them to do. Jon decided to go to Alaska to climb for the Devil’s thumb and just like Chris he went to Alaska because he loved traveling to different places.

Summary: Jon Krakauer believes that McCandless’s death wasn’t unplanned (p.134) it was a terrible accident. He and McCandless have intentions to come from more of a personal perspective. He is similar to McCandles. Jon Krakauer had an obsession with the age of seventeen and in his latest twenties of mountain climbing, he owned a book in which there was a photograph of the devil’s thumb. It was white and black in the image (p.135) that was taken by the mountain.  During Jon Krakauer’s Journey, he needed to clean his tools and other belongings (p.136) to the trailer. He decided to climb into the car and depart for Alaska. He decided to go to the store and purchased a pair of stout aluminum curtain rods. He lashed rods together (p.138)to form a cross which was lashed to his backpack to the pole to extend to have it horizontally over the snow. In the mountain climbing, he made his way down. The rim was gradually thickened and about eighty (p.143)feet down while getting down, he looked until his neck ached and there wasn’t anything appearing. He started to feel anxious. He didn’t communicate with anyone in the world. He hadn't visited this part of the stuck ice cap he was at.

Analysis: The thing I found interesting was how he mentioned his life story similar to Chris' life and his journey he has been through in Alaska. One of the reasons why he discussed Chris was that he didn't want to die in Alaska. It was unplanned because Chris didn’t think that he was going to die in Alaska. It mentions that Jon went a hard path to reach the mountain in order to climb to the Devil’s thumb. The Devil’s thumb seems a dangerous place to go climbing because many people would get hurt or die there. It points out that many of them were trying to follow their dreams.

Summary:  Carine talks about in the picture of him where he looked the same when he was young and him being older. He had his expression of his identical look. It seems Chris has been interrupted in the middle of an important (p.128) thought in front of the camera while taking a picture. It mentions in a letter Chris once wrote (p.129) how he likes talking to her because she was the only one who can understand what he saying and how he feels. Carine found that Chris passed away, her eyes (p.130) blurred. She couldn’t believe that happened to Chris. She started to scream because she was so close to Chris. She wasn’t able to say goodbye to him. Carine got Chris’s ashes, she put them in her knapsack. Carine ate (p.131) each scrap food and she didn’t want to throw it away in the trash because she thought Chris died from starvation. Billie had Chris think that he took to his trip to Alaska. Billie was sitting at her dining room (p.132)table and was looking at the snapshot that Chris took she started to break down from time to time. It was very hard for her because she couldn’t stop crying because she missed Chris so much. It talks about an only mother who has outlived a child who can weep, betraying a sense of loss so huge and taking the mind to the measure.

Analysis: If Chris took Buckley during his trip, he might not end up going to Alaska. This chapter talks about how Chris and his sister were super close but after his trip, they were close how they use to be. It was very sad because this chapter talks about everyone he was close with who found out that Chris passed away during his trip to Alaska.  Carine has lost ten pounds which many people were worried about because she was becoming anorexic. Billie stopped eating too, she lost about eight pounds before her appetite could finally return.

Summary: Chris got real (p.118) emotional, he was almost going to cry but fighting back his feeling. Chris and his dad are both different. He would respect his dad for working and doing his best to support his eight kids.  Chris was good (p.118) but almost with everything he ever tried, which is what Walt says about him. He would be too overconfident about something. He would listen to what people needed to say and would argue back that he would still do what he wants to do. Chris seemed (p.121) to get more mad at his family. He wouldn’t tell his family how he felt or what was on his mind. He would spend time by himself doing adventurous things. Chris was supposed to be leaving Fairbanks but he changed (p.124) his mind and decision to drive to Alaska. He vanished his family completely for two years. After Chris found out about his dad's first marriage, he chose to not confront the secret of his dark (p.123) knowledge of expressing his rage and being silent.

Analysis: It’s very shocking how Chris found out that his dad had two different lives and two different families, which it’s very rude of him keeping it a secret from his family. Chris was very mad because he couldn't stand his dad with the lies he had been holding in his life. It was very sad when Chris’s mother could sense Chris asking for help while being trapped in Alaska. I could see that she wanted to help Chris but she didn’t know where he was. This chapter talks about the reason why Chris wanted to leave home.

Summary: Walt would spend a lot of time (p.104) with Chris, more than with his other kids. He liked Chris' company even if he got frustrated. When Chris’s sister mentioned that ever since they were kids he was very (p.107)to himself that he always had friends but he would always entertain himself for hours which he didn’t mind doing. Chris joined a high school band but he decided to quit playing because he didn’t (p.110) want to be told what to do and he didn’t like it. In the chapter, it mentions how Chris had many natural talents (p.111) which he was polishing his skill. Walt mentions that Chris was very quick and had a lot of power in the game that Chris was playing. It talks about how there was a whole (p.112) idea which was to lose ourselves into unknown territory. It was a certain sense that’s the way Chris lived his entire. Chris decided to go to his new car and spent the summer driving through the country, which his family (p.116) never got the chance to discover in this journey who would ultimately turn him and those who loved him into misunderstanding, Sorrow.

Analysis:   Overall, it shows how Chris grew up and tells his stories. It was nice what Chris did, which was helping out people and giving them food. It gives off how Chris is towards people, which people liked Chris. It was sad when told his parents that he didn’t plan on going to college because it wasn’t something that he wanted to do but ended up going to college. It seems that Chris felt that wealth was something shameful. Chris believed that he would be unhappy with any parent, who had trouble with the whole idea of “parents”.

Westerberg says "I was pretty sure it was Chris".....

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: On September 10 there were three days before the news (p.99) of the dead hiker appeared at the time the story got published in the daily news. In the chapter, it mentions that Gallien mentioned in the newspaper (p.99) account that there was a matched gear found with the body, which the hiker’s journal read. There was a radio that was on, which Wayne listened to  (p.100) to Paul Harvey about a kid who starved to death in Alaska. Westerberg started to phone Alaska, which the troops decided to take him seriously. The social security number turned (p.101) out to be a good idea because it was placed in McCandless ' permanent residence in Northern Virginia. The Alaska state troopers volunteer (p.100) to what he knew about Chris. The story was about a dead hiker who found paper across the country.  Sam went (pg.100) to the Fairfax County police department to show a photograph of the hikers who had been faxed from Fairbank. He described how Chris looked.

Analysis: After reading this chapter it points out that there wasn’t any technology, which made it harder for them to identify someone and who they were. This case seems hard to solve because they didn't know who might. It’s sad that the family is going to find out that their son died from a starved to death in Alaska and never made it out alive. Westerberg did his best to try to tell the troopers that he knew Chris and finally the troops believed him.

Nemo- Latin for "nobody" into the soft Navajo Sandstone

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: This chapter mentions Everett’s journey. The longest is that Davis was a deep twisting gash into the Slickrock, which narrows (p.88) into places in the canyon floor. The Mormon had stepped into the floor where twenty-year-old Everett Ruess carved (p. 89) in his panel of Anasazi pictographs. It mentions that Ruess was a romantic  (p.92) like McCandless and equally heedless of personal safety. McCandless was embarking on his terminal odyssey.  Ruess was adopted (p.93 )into a new name that he created for himself. He made it clear to his family that he would call himself Lan Rameau and be respectful of his decision. In the book, it mentions that Everett seems strange (p.96) and sleight concedes and is different but he and McCandless were following their dream and that’s something nice about them. They have drawn the cross that storm-racked (p.97) into the ocean which was the edge known to the world by nothing. The reading of these monks is a way that urges their desire.

Analysis: In this chapter, it mentions people just like Chris who have a dream and would want to achieve it. Many people don’t know how Evertee died during his journey. Many of them believe that he fell off a cliff or if he drowned in a river. While reading Evertee’s story it seems sad because he was very young and died during his journey. During Everett’s disappearance, his father shows that the boy was inspired to call himself Nemo.

The men have similarities between each other, which it's Rosellini, Waterman, McCunn, and McCandles. 

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: Krakauer believes that if he doesn’t (p.71) think that Chris was a kook. McCandless had gone over near the edge which happened to be the bottom at Alaska. This chapter talks about Rosellini purged (p.74) his life of all in the primitive tools. It mentions that in 1973 there was a letter that plans for an extended trip and then disappeared (p.77)McCunn has been seen around. He was sure of him being recorded (p.82) In the journal having things packed up and going to the camp. There were many similarities to many people who were Rosellini, Waterman, McCunn, and McCandles. They were a seeker (p.85) of having an impractical fascination with nature. Alex wouldn’t (p.85) have 113 days if he was there.

Analysis: In this chapter, it mentions other people which talks about their own experience. The names are Rosellini, Waterman, McCunn, and McCandles. They like being outdoor. In the chapter, it mentions that Waterman died while being at the Summit Denali. I could see that all of them have similarities toward them, which some of them could relate to each other. Some of their adventures are risky or even dangerous in their trip.

Alexander was a nice guy that got along with people quickly........

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: Alex had a backpack that was near his shoulder. He told Westerberg he planned (p.62) on staying until April, 15. Borah and Alex had talked a lot when they were together (p.63) he would tell her things that nobody knows and she was the only one that Alex seems to trust. Once (p.67) Alex had made up his mind about something that he thought about. There weren’t many changes to it. Alex worked to earn money in order to be in Alaska by the end of April. On April 15 everybody (p.68) went to see Alex off as he was leaving. He had his backpack, which was heavy and he left his journal and his photo album. Alex has hugged (p.68) Borah as a goodbye, he started to cry, she didn’t know how long Alex would be gone or if he would come back or do something risky during his journey in Alaska. Alex wrote a postcard, where Westerberg has received (p.69) another postcard from him. Alex mentions Westerberg doesn’t hear from him. Alex wants Westerberg to know that he was a good man. Alex mentions in the postcard that says into the wild, which it’s the title of the book.

Analysis: I could see that Alex would get along with people when first meeting them. It’s sad that Alex didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to everyone he knew. Alex would often go to the places he knew. This chapter, it mentions how Alex was and how he acted during his trip.

Franz became more attached to McCandless so quickly.....

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: During Chris’s journey he made an impression in hegra. There were a number of people during these courses. He only spends a few days in his company, about a week or two. Nobody (p.48) knows how it can be very affected. Chris wasn’t living (50) into the right at the springs and how he was camped by himself at the bajada. On Chris's journey he met Franz and his long-dormant paternal (p.50) into the impulses, he could get him out of his mind. The old man was near the mountains, where Franz dropped (p.53) Chris at the San Diego waterfront, which was the hardest thing for Franz. Franz has purchased (p.54) a video camera before going on the trip with Chris. He took some brief footage of Chris standing impatiently in the snow. Franz has started (p.60) by telling the two hitchhikers about Chris and how he sets out to Alaska. One of the hitchhikers told him that Chris froze to death on the tundra. He got that information about the outdoor magazine.

Analysis:  It’s so sweet that Franz wanted to adopt Chris as his own son. It’s sad how Franz found out that Chris died in Alaska. Another thing that it’s sad is that Franz went to the desert to drink some whiskey because he lost Chris. It’s nice how Chris and Franz spend a lot of time and have a good bond with each other. Chris was looking for a job to save some money for his trip to Alaska. Chris would send some postcards to the people he know. Franz becomes more attached to Chris so fast.

Alexander Supertramp being a nice kid and a good worker, real dependable!

# data[].attributes.body
Summary: In this chapter, it talks about Chris is towards people and the type of person Chris is. Chris had his camera (pg 39 )which was broken and he decided to stop taking any photographs and also stopped keeping his journal. During Chris' journey, he was looking for a job which he applied for (pg. 40) McDonald. He identified his real name and gave his real social security number. In November Chris sent a postcard (pg. 42)to Jan Burres in care in the post office box in Niland. It was a card that Chris had sent the first letter to Jan Burres which she hadn't received from him for a long time and returned to the address on it. Chris was at the Slabs. Chris volunteered (pg.43) to oversee her large inventory for the use of paper books. He helped out by making a lot of sales. Chris had met people around him. At the Swap (pg.44) of the meeting talked to anyone that was near him. He was so friendly with each of them. He did a lot of socializing. During Chris’s trip going to Alaska, He accepted (pg.46 )Burres’s offer to drive him to Alaska. She was able to give him a few supplies that would be useful for Alaska and he got clothes that would keep him warm.

Analysis:  It was nice that Chris was able to meet people along the way. It was interesting how Chris made a decision on getting a job at McDonald’s. His personality seems to be nice and caring towards people. Another thing I found interesting was how Chris is socialized.

Alexander's starts struggling along the way......

Summary: Chris has been crossed to the board, which he drove to two-mile where the South wash, the temperature (p.27) which it was near to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Chris had a few of his remaining (p.29) which was his backpack. On July 10, Chris was near Lake Mead, and the temperature started going higher, which Chris had suffered from a heat stroke because of the desert he was in. Chris got a ticket because of hitchhiking near willow creek in the gold mining country east of Eureka. The ticket wasn’t paid which appeared in Walt and Billie’s mailbox. They were concerned (p.31) about how Chris was acting vanishing.  Chris was at the southwest of El Golfo de Santa Clara, he started walking to the north where there was a deserted (p.36) beach. While being there, he didn't see anyone for the last thirty- six days. During Chris' journey, he would often write in his journal (p.37) he decided to go to Los Angeles to get an ID and get a job. He had an impact on society and made a decision to return to the road again.

Analysis: During Chris’s journey he had a hard time along the way during his trip. I liked how Chris did his best to travel to places, he has been wanting to accomplish. It’s sad how Walt and Billie still haven’t seen Chris for a long time. Chris was close to dying from a heat stroke during his trip. During his trip, he met new people along the way.

He was the hardest worker I've ever seen.......

Summary: In this chapter, it began with Chris’s life story. During Chris's graduation from Emory University in Atlanta. He was part of the editor of the school newspaper of the Emory wheel. Chris didn’t want any of the membership in Phi Beta Kappa and decided not to take the opportunity. During his two years in College (p.20) he was paid around four- thousand dollars. Chris had a plan that he would disappear after his graduation. Once Chris graduated, the money was supposed to be towards his law school, but it turns out that the parents have misread (p.20) him because Chris didn’t want to go to college anymore. He decided to give the money he had to charity. Walt and Billie wanted to get a car (p.21) for Chris but he had a car that he loves. He wouldn’t trade it for anything because he was strongly attached to it. Chris mentions that he would be more careful not to accept any gift from them. Chris showed up in the town, Westerberg had given Chris a job (p.18) because Chris was one of the hard workers that Weterberg that he met. Whenever it comes to Chris doing his work,  he wouldn’t ever quit in the middle of something that he was doing. He did have a high standard of himself because he would want it to turn out how he wants it. Chris sent a brief note (p.21) he never says goodbye to his family, he only mentions his grade report of his transcript, which was the last words to his family. They wouldn’t ever hear from him. Chris was close to Billie but never said goodbye to her. His family tried going to his first apartment but never got the chance to see Chris again.

Analysis: It’s nice that Chris was able to go on road trips and meet new people, which Chris met Wayne during the town that he was at. Another thing that it’s nice is that Chris did something that he dreamed of doing. It’s sad Billie never got a chance to say goodbye to Chris because he left without saying anything. Billie and Chris were close.

Summary: In the chapter, it mentions how a few yards was a hundred beyond the river, which the trail wasn’t there and ended up being disappeared (p.12). It talks about Samuel and Swanson finally arriving where the bus has been for a long time. During Chris’s journey, the troops came and took his body. Samuel and Swanson had noticed a smell seemed off to them and once they were near the bus. They magically saw a disquieting (p.12) note that was written by Christopher Johnson McCandless, which was the last words that he wrote in the letter before dying. They didn’t know what was inside the bus, but Samuel decided to take a look for himself and see what was happening on the bus. He peeked inside of the window and saw that there were many supplies which the sleeping bag seemed to appeared (p.12) to someone or something inside but wasn't sure what it was. Once Samuel saw a head sticking out of the bag and he magically saw Chris had died about two and half weeks after being on the bus. (p.13) Meanwhile, the authorities had no clue who he was and where he was from. It made it hard for them because Chris didn’t bring along his identification (p.14) information because he wanted to get rid of everything he had.

Analysis: Chris was doing well during his journey but it didn’t turn out well. It’s sad how he died in two and a half weeks during his trip to Alaska. He didn’t get the chance to finish what he wanted to explore in Alaska. Chris was a young man, who wanted to accomplish his goal. Another sad thing is that Chris was all alone by himself without having anyone by himself. It's very sad because he didn't get the chance to say goodbye to his family or even the people he knows.

Summary: Into the wild is about Christopher Johnson Mcandless,who has a rifle protruded backpack (p.4) His backpack weighed only twenty-five or thirty pounds,which didn’t look heavy.“He wasn’t carrying anywhere near as much food and gear as you expect a guy to be carrying for that kind of trip”.The first chapter talks about how Chris doesn’t turn down his plans, which Chris felt excited (p.6) to achieve his goals. Chris wasn’t really prepared for the trip. Gallien give his old pair of rubber work boots and persuaded (p.7) to make him take it, which would keep him warm and dry while traveling to Alaska. Gallein did his best to give him supplies that might be useful during his trip.One thing that Gallien did was to give his phone number (p.7) to Alex,which Alex carefully put it in his nylon wallet. Alex insisted (p.6)on giving everything that he owned to Gallein because it seemed that he wanted to start a new life where he wanted to do everything on his own.

Analysis: In my point of view, I do admire Chris because he’s pursuing his dream that he has been wanting to do in his life. My only suggestion that Chris could have done differently would be having supplies that he needed in order to survive during his trip. At the beginning,Chris seemed confident heading to Alaska but it turns out he wasn’t ready from the beginning.I was thinking about how Chris would be if he listened to Gallien advice.

Ever since I was young I would often go to the park with my family. Over the summer during the pandemic,I started hiking and climbing with my sisters.They are the reason I started climbing and hiking in the first place. So far, in my journey I have only gone to two places. The first place I went to was Eaton Canyon Fall which was in Los Angeles. I would often go there whenever I had time and I plan to go to different places. It's something I have grown fond of ever since I went, it's fun and interesting.

After hiking or climbing each time, I felt relaxed, peaceful, and happier. Hiking or climbing can be a way to disconnect from some of the problems of the world. My quality of life was better spending time in nature. Being in the forest can help me to achieve serenity. Being outdoors hiking or climbing can clear my mind therefore, giving me a chance to observe the world around me.

In my point of view, some benefits from hiking or climbing are that it’s very helpful to release  endorphins therefore,  relieving stress. It helps build up your endurance and  overall health. Hiking with someone can build up your overall relationship bond.
