"Into the Wild," was written by Jon Krakauer and it is about Chris McC?ndl?ss’s journey to Alaska. After learning of Chris McC?ndl?ss’s ?xp?r??nc? ?n Alaska, a lot of people ruled out h?s odyssey as the same narrative: ?d??l?st?c, ?n?rg?t?c youthful guys who ov?r-?st?m?t?d th?ms?lv?s, und?r-?st?m?t?d the country, and as a result ?nd?d up in trouble (Kr?k?u?r 71). According to them, McC?ndl?ss was hardly unique (Kr?k?u?r 71). Cl??rly put across in Into the Wild by Jon Kr?k?u?r, he was ? disobedient individual who never liked to be close to people, and influenced by authors such as Jack London’s workings of nature, decided to start the journey to Alaska. Chris McC?ndl?ss is a ?nd?v?du?l filled with raw talent, extremely overconfident, stubborn arrogant and impatient (Kr?k?u?r 118). Chris refuses to slow down for anyone or anything, and disregards unimportant details, nodding graciously when being urged or persuaded, barely to do what he wanted (Kr?k?u?r 119). This is the reason why he entered Alaska without totally thinking about his friends, family and all the risks. He took his journey as a challenge and faced it straight on. He is so smart and talented that he had such expectations of himself and a lot of pride. This is evident when he started running. He was really hard on himself every time he did worse than expected. He would go off to somewhere and beat himself up, furthermore internalize the pain (Kr?k?u?r 112). Chris expects expected too much of himself biting more than he can chew only to disappoint himself afterwards. He is very independent and despises authority as well as his parents. He never shares anything with his parents which do not solve any of his problems as the cause of them is his father’s affair with his ex-wife. A clear example is when he gets an F in physics in high school as he did not write his lab reports in the format his teacher asked him to as he thought that it was a stupid rule and he decided to ignore it (Kr?k?u?r 109). What led to his downfall is that he is too rebellious and arrogant. McC?ndl?ss never enjoyed intimate relationships, and he refused to open up to most of the people. He was very private but may possibly be gregarious and convivial (Kr?k?u?r 115). He at times appeared to be friendly and so easy to get close to but he always put a barrier, keeping his personal business to himself. For instan
