Living into the wild in “Into the Wild”
A lot of people love this book, which is written by Jon Krakauer. The book was a best-seller and tells a good story. At first, I didn’t like this book because it was boring and there were no pictures. But now, I really love this book. It has taught me about life and how to live. In Alaska, there was a bus in the wild. The bus was dirty and smelled bad. A young man had lived and died in the bus. Many people remember and have respect for the young man. I also have respect for him.
This book was written by Jon Krakauer. He has begun the book by describing the story behind Chris McCandless. The young man, Chris McCandless, hitchhiked his way into Alaska and took up residence in the wild nearby Mt. McKinley. After Chris died, a group of hunters found his body in the wild. Then, in January 1993, the Outside magazine made an entry of the story of the young man that died. Krakauer wrote the article and was very intrigued by the story about Chris McCandless. He was comparing Chris McCandless to himself through the magazine article. Krakauer decided to start to write a book Into The Wild. In the Author’s note in the book, he announced that he hoped to allow the reader to form their own opinion of McCandless and his actions.
Chris McCandless lived with his younger sister and parents in the house. When he was 24 years old, he graduated from college, and his parents celebrated their son’s graduation. Chris and his father had a bad relationship with each other. Chris burned his money and abandoned his car. Then, he decided to travel and live into the wild.
Chris visited the Liard River by Hot Springs at the threshold of the Yukon Territory. He was spending two days at the Liard River, and he met a truck driver, Gaylord Stuckey. Chris made friends with Gaylord Stuckey. Before Chris went to the university, Stuckey bought a bag of rice for Chris and drop him at the university. He spent two days and three nights at the university. He was studying plants because he needed to know which was okay to eat food or not. Before he went into the wild, he bought a gun at the store. He crossed the lake and found the bus. This bus was abandoned in there and there was a bad smell. He settled to live in the bus and started to write a dairy. He was using a gun to find food. On July 30, there were less animals in the wild. Chris found the wild potato seed and ate it. He became paralyzed, so the seeds ended up killing Chris . Chris wrote the last journal entry and then died. McCandless wrote, “I have had a happy life and thank the lord. Goodbye and may god bless all.”
No problem to live in wild
There were no problems to live in the wild. Some of peoples were thinking Chris McCandless was very crazy to live into the wild. Some of people thought it was hard and dangerous to live in the wild because there were a lot of animals. They were afraid they wouldn’t be able to find food, or they could be killed in the wild. When they imagined living into the wild, they didn’t want to die and live into the wild. If a person said “ Can you live into the wild”, and the another person will have say No.
But, there were good things to live into the wild. They had good air and quite into the wild. There made peoples to feel happy because there had flowers and trees into the wild and peoples and they could make peoples to feel better and health. Before Chris live into the wild, he was very unhappy . After he live into the wild , there made him very happy to live into the wild. Also, there was not have a bad smell and used not money in the wild.
Express Into The Wild
It was good to express to live into the wild. If someone will live in the wild, the person will express to live into the wild like Chris McCandless. First, it was hard to live in the wild, but it was okay to live in the wild gradually. Chris was settled to live in the bus and he started to express in the wild. He used gun to catch animals and then made a food through animals. When he finished ate, he made animal clothes through animal. He was sleeping in the bus at night. After Chris died, Krakauer’s friends were stayed in the bus. They were researching how Chris live into the wild. They used a gun to find animals and then made a food use animals. At night, they were trying to sleep in the bus like Chris McCandless. When they were slept, they were imagined about Christ and thought he was sleep with Krakauer’s friends.
Many people thought he was so crazy to stay in the bus, but he was smart and courage. He wanted to try to express like the common peoples.
Traveling and Meeting nice People
Chris McCandless had wisdom and courage, and he was kind to people. Into the Wild is a story written about his life. While he was traveling, he made friends on his journey. He always met nice people that wanted to help him in some way. In the book, Chris met Wayne Westerberg, who gave him jobs and friendly company. When I went to another country, I met Kirsten Kyburz. She is really awesome and helps me in many ways. She even helps me with English homework. I am so happy that she helps me with English homework.
Many writers were disagreed about Chris McCandless to live into the wild because they didn’t think that was not have a evidences in the wild and Chris McCandless didn’t die in the wild. But I’m really thinking Chris McCandless live into the wild because Krakauer went to the bus which was Chris lived in the bus in Alaska. He want to know he was died in the bus or alive. There had marks in the wild. There was a bus and has Chris McCandless’s things in the bus. Krakauer found Chris’s journal entry in the bus. I could believe that he was lived in Alaska now.
We realized how he lived into the wild. We have to know three of points in the book: love friend and family, help peoples and express the common peopls. First, we have to love friends and family. Second, we have to help each other. Last, it is good to express the common peoples in our life. When I finished read the book, I realized and respect him . I want to recommend the book and say it is good book in the books. I think learned very important things in our behavior and life.
