into the wild [ part 2]

He walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt.mckinley.he hitchhiked and stopped jim gallien ,an old man ,who was driving four miles out of Fairbanks .Gallien saw the kid friendly enough to tell him to climb in . maccandless tried to lie on Galliebn by telling him a fake name and age and he is from south Dakota .

Gallien misdoubted him  he did not carry with him enough food and gear ,Gallien was worried about the kid .Also, he described him as a naive, becaues he refused gallien’s help or offer of  food .

According to jon krakauer Chris McCandless died as a result of "one or two seemingly insignificant blunders.".in my opinion, the biggest mistake chris did was not to tell his parents about his destination and the few equipment he took .he could have avoided these blunders by telling his parents where he is and taking what would help him survive into the wild such as plenty of food and a weapon to protect himself at least to guarantee his safety. I believe chris was a narcissist and selfish he was thinking about himself, he did not care about his parents and their anxiety. He killed himself by trusting the nature; however, nature is a fickle beast, turning from friendly ally to cruel enemy in the blink of an eye. McCandless is not insensible to this fact.i have read that chris had two favourite authors Jack London and Henry David Thoreau, and their immense respect for nature influences the impressionable young man. Furthermore,.i wondered why chris had been described as “leather tramp"?I think because he gave up his car and relied on his leather shoes to do his journey. Any way the story seems to be exiting and captivating, I can’t wait till I finish it
