Into the wild

Chris McCandless story ends in a saddening way. You would expect the main character of a book written about a person would be a happy ending but it turns out it wasn't a happy ending for McCandless. It all starts out with a man who met McCAndless stating that he drove the boy out passed Fairbanks to get to his destination.The man's name was Jim Gallien and when he heard McCandless talk about his crazy adventure he is trying to go on he tried to convince him not to because he wasn't really prepared. Jim tried to convince him but he would not listen. Only if Jim knew that would be the last time he would see McCandless. But before I speak more on about his death I would also like to state that he was a courageous and adventurous man. Wanting to leave home and going on his journey is not what a lot of people expect out of a College Grad. The exception for McCandless is extraordinary. He made his mind up on this journey and he did it. Without a care in the world he would end up going to a few places across America before he ended up in Alaska. On this road trip he ended up meeting a lot of people and he ended up connecting with every person he met. He changed the life of a so called Ron to the point that Ron wanted to adopt him. Ron loved Chris as much as a son. When he found out Chris had passed the man went into tears and began drinking again. He developed a really strong bond with Chris. It saddened me to see that in the story on how much one person can change your life. McCandless also met a man named Westerberg. He took a job with him and he also developed a strong bond with this man. Chris was his hardest worker and when he wanted to leave Westerberg offered him a permanent spot. Chris denied of course because he worked only enough to get money so he will be able to travel again. He was determined on getting to the Alaskan frontier.  To get off track there is also a chapter about a man called McCunn. This was a man who shared the same sense of adventure as Chris. As you can get where I'm getting at this man also died in his wilderness journey. All in all Chris was a brave man. He set out what he wanted to do. He pursued it. It just wasn't a happy ending.
