Into the Wild Chapters 1-7

In the first chapters Jim Gallien notices a young man hitchhiking four miles outside of Fairbanks, & he picks him up. The hitchhiker introduces himself as ¨Alex¨. He tells Jim that he is heading to Denali, where he plans to hike into the wilderness & live off of the land for a few months. Jim is concerned, because he notices that Alex’s pack seems awfully light all he had was" a ten pound bag of rice, a rifle"(.22 caliber) & a tattered state map. Chris McCandless or ¨Alexander Suppertramp¨ as he calls himself left his home for adventures. Chris McCandless was a young man who wanted to experience adventure & gave up everything he had to live off the land and saly died before returning to civilization. In the following chapters I've learned that McCandless has met many people who question him about his life choices & journey dream. We also read of all the trouble he went through & how he died.
