soo confused!!

By reading the book into the wild and reading people' s blogs it has left me some what confused. in the beggining i really didnt like chris. i didnt understand how such a privaleged boy would just want to leave everything behind and go into the wild. it really made me upset. i was reading other blogs and i had realized that other people felt the same way. but there was also people who felt differently and when i read more blogs i started to realize that what he did was brave. he went out on a crazy adventure that made him happy. he did what he thought was best for him and unfortunatley he lost his life becasue of it. Julia crook's blog showed how chris was a hero and by reading her blog it made me understand chris in a different way. it kind of made me less mad but at the same time it left me confused on him. as i am in chapter 14 now i kind of cant wait to finish this book becase i am confused on what is going on. the different stories inside this one big story and going back in forth in time has got me kind of lost. this book isnt a horrible book its just not something i really would suggest or would want to read again.

He may be crazy but theres more to the story

Although many people McCandless is crazy i dont think he is so crazy. I mean he did survive for 100 and something days living just find. While it was crazy of him to burn his belongings and barry the others, he was actually quite smart. he graduated high school, went to college and graduate and was considering law school. if he was so dumb and crazy then he wouldnt have never gone that far. McCandless wanted to push the limits. He wanted to see how much he could do by himself. He mentioned that his life was more full and interesting when he had no money. He didnt want to depend on these materialistic items. He wanted to be his own person, eat what he wanted, do whats he wanted, and go where he wanted. He just wanted to explore the world-he found excitement in the world. He didnt want to be tied down and put in a cage, he wanted his freedom and he found that out in the wild. i think alot of his decisions were based on that. So he wasnt crazy he just wanted to be independent. He wanted to be his on man. He traveled long and far and got to see and do many of things. While he didnt live long, everyone goes t one point in time, and while his was sooner than later, no one can help that. i think it was reason to why Krakauer praisedq this man, even though many have dont the same thing as McCandless, there was something special. Krakauer constantly compared McCandless to others and it wasnt because he was crazy! i think it was kind of great what he did. i dont think i could do it, or if i had the courage to do. my excitement comes from getting out of under my grandmothers house and being off on my own. im an independent person and being out and away is my freedom and i think McCandless felt the same way!
