McCandless intention was not to kill himself he just wanted to live his life differently and experience surviving of the wild  . Chris was adventurous and independent. Krakauer describes Chris with the proper knowledge as he went of to the wild for survival.  As Chris met many people along the way they all seemed astonished by Chris's idea of surviving of wilderness . Chris was not prepared with the right equipment for his long journey . Krakauer also summarizes that McCandless did not truly understand what it felt like to be alone . 

Chris's death was unplanned but he knew there was a probability he may not survive. In the final post Chris wrote to Wayne Westerberg “ If this adventure proves fatal and you don't ever hear from me again I want you to know you are a great man . I know walk into the wild “ (pg.134) . I agree with Krakauer that his death was unplanned and that it was a terrible  accident . The way people described him led to no intentions of him trying to end his life . Chris  was disappointed at his parents and injustices of the world , therefore anger grew upon his soul.

As I read the story I focused on Chris’s personality and actions through Krakauer’s writing.The author focused on Chris’s story because he even felt a connection with Chris. Krakauer enjoyed being in nature and climbing mountains, which persuaded him to learn more about Chris’s journey.Krakauer's past experiences in the wilderness such as Alaska , led him to the conclusion that Chris’s death was an accident

Although Chris was not at all prepared for the long journey ahead of him , he did not plan on dying because his target was to try to survive of the wilderness. If Chris intended his death , he would have not accepted any help from the people he met along the way . 

The novel “Into The Wild” portrays McCandless death being foreshadowed through his actions, such as being unprepared. The author Krakauer introduces the readers with McCandless being Alex and being unprepared to encounter Alaska as a hitchhiker. The novel states “He wasn’t carrying anywhere near as much food and gear as you’d expect a guy to be carrying for that kind of trip.” (Krakauer, 4) Gallien provides McCandless a ride to Denali National Park to live off the land, but the readers are illustrated the awareness Gallien has towards McCandless baggage.  I believe the novel portrayed McCandless awareness of his lack of resource, causing the reader to question if McCandless had the intention to die. 

In the novel, the reader is portrayed as  McCandless being a dreamer that may have lead to his death in Alaska. The author Krakauer illustrates McCandless seeking his belief and would not change his perspective for anyone. An example is “Chris would use the spiritual aspect to try to motivate us, he’d tell us to think about all the evil in the world…” ( Krakauer, 112) as a teen McCandless portrayed his belief and used it to influence others with the idea to lose themselves and discover a recognized road to go home. McCandless personality illustrates his dream of living off the land, causing him to starve when he believed he was ready to encounter Alaska. 

In conclusion, the novel “Into The Wild” does not support the authors claim believing McCandless death was unplanned and a terrible accident. I disagree with the author because throughout the novel the reader receives an understanding McCandless was aware of his lack of resource. The novel illustrates the foreshadow of the death of McCandless, such as Chris being unprepared and a dreamer. Krakauer in the novel portrays experiences and encounters they had with McCandless providing a sense of the type of person he was as McCandless ventured to the north.
