pitty for chris

I really wasnt feeling bad for Chris McCandless until just recently. i though he was stupid and idiotic for walking into the harsh conditions of the alskan wilderness and deserved whatever hardships came his way - i mean he asked for them. he was irresponsible and should have been ready to accept responsibility for his actions. But when i read that he was finished in the wild... he tried to leave... he had satified the internal hole that had sent him to alska in the first place... he wanted to go home but others forces said no... you cant leave! that must have been devastating. he was trapped he couldnt get out. the river that was once small and pittiful now almost surged with immense force and was the gatekeeper basically between life and death. it didnt let him pass which basically signed away his lefe. it was a death sentence. i thought that i would think him a stupid selfish boy who left his family wothout a word and died because he was to stuborn to leave the wilderness
