In my opinion, the way I feel about Chris McCandless is that he's courageous. The fact that he's very educated and graduated with honors in all means describes McCandless as an intelligent individual. As in my belief, I think he tested himself to his limits. I mean who would go out of their daily life and just leave into the wilderness. With that said, McCandless had a lot of guts and took on the challenge of traveling to Mt. McKinely. Chris McCandless lived the way he wanted to, and sadly died with a lot of dignity.
