Into the wild blog 1
I think what McCandless did was more admirable and noble than wacky. I respect what he did, because it takes a brave soul to leave everything behind and try to survive in the wild by yourself. I know I would'nt be able to do that! I feel like he was looking for an adventure or a challenge. He wasn't finding any exictment in his life so he decided to risk his life for a great adventure. I honestly don't know what posseded McCandless to this, but whatever the case may be, what he did was unique. Something must go really wrong in your life to make you do something as crazy as he did. He could of had family issues, girl problems, who knows? A lot of people say the guy is crazy or wacko, but I actually have a great amount of respect for the guy. I don't see anybody else doing this type of thing. I would almost have to be having a life crisis to go out in the middle of the Alaskan Forest, and try to survive.

I agree with everything you said especially about having respect for him. But I don't think something had to of gone wrong in his life, he was mayjust just sick of the old same ole same ole life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statements. Yes he is honorable for what he tried to do; however, I claim him to be crazy or wacked out because he had absolutely everything... or just about everything! Yet what you've said has given me a new light on the life of McCandless and what he did! You've shown me a side of him you've seen which I have yet to visualize, and it's made me respect his decision all the more. Good outlook.
