Christopher McCandless...

I had made up my mind that McCandless was doing what he was doing to get back at his parents for what they had done to him. I also thought to myself that he was overreacting because he resented his parents for not being around all the time because they had to work so much in a business that was ruining their marriage. As I read more I became to realize that what McCandless was doing had nothing to do with his parents, it was all for him. He wanted to be free from society and all the crazy rules that restricted hi liberty. He wanted to be just him no one else, no judgments no critics…nothing, just him and the earth alone.
