Chris believed that by going off on his own in the Alaskan wilderness he would change himself; finally know what his purpose was in life. From what Chris wrote in his journal, he implied that happiness comes from finding yourself, not by how many people you have a personal relationship with. Chris, who had renamed himself as “Alexander Super-tramp”, wrote in his journal “I didn’t really mind the absence of intimacy in my life, the lack of real human connection” (137). Writing this thought down in his journal, he had proven that human connection to him was nice, but not necessary. People need connections with others, but these connections are not always what brings them to their absolute highest level of happiness.
The tools he has will be sufficient to complete the job. The work will be done at a moderate pace, because he’s still drinking the beer that he brought with him.

Once the work is completed, you will never get a price on the shade tree mechanic.
Similarly to Jan Burres thoughts on McCandless expedition, Westerberg did not agree with most of McCandless’ ideas, such as traveling to Alaska and leaving his parents, but he admired McCandless passion toward reaching his goal.

He wants to live his own life and make his own destiny traveling around. Unlike Holden, Chris met many different types of people that really helped him find out who he was throughout his journey. People like Ron Frantz who was like a dad to Chris while he away from home, tried to give Chris advice about how to have a better life.
That is why so many people travel out into the wilderness. Whether they are going camping, hiking, biking or fishing, they leave society because they know the only way to be truly free, is to depart from society. In conclusion, Mark Twain’s timeless classic novel about a boy named Huckleberry Finn and the adventure of a life time is still relatable to today’s world. We know this because we have all been gullible at some point in time, we have all displayed, known someone who displayed, or heard of religious hypocrisy, and we all have our different ways to escape from humanity and feel

When Wayne is arrested, Chris journeys on. Hitchhiking, he meets Jan and Rainey, who are like the parents he always needed.
If Chris McCandless was unaware of his parents ‘scandalous past, and if he didn’t experience the effects of their shattered marriage, would he have risked his life to go into the wild? We begin a blank canvas, and our background paints the picture. Without past experiences, a person cannot get to where they are. Yet, they can choose to change themselves, and make a new person from who they once were. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Be not the slave of your own past.
