With the right people around him and the positive mind set Sampson became successful.

For the rest of the nineteenth century his story would be told in songs, in plays, and in books—many of these stories deliberately or inadvertently falsifying the life that, when it came right down to it, few knew. In his fine biography, Sam Patch, The Famous Jumper, historian Paul E. Johnson painstakingly examines the record and paints a fresh, if also limited, portrait of the man who was one of the “pioneers” of “modern celebrity." Born into poverty in Rhode Island, Patch was destined to work the mills of Pawtucket, where a poor, uneducated boy could get work and, if he had talent, as Patch apparently did, learn the craft of mule spinning. This was no small achievement: “the spinning mule was among the biggest machines in the world,” and spinning was a craft practiced mostly by English immigrants. It was a difficult operation, mule spinning, and it “required experience, along with a practiced mix of strength and a sensitive touch,” Johnson writes.
On page 18, Gene admitted his envy towards Phineas. He thought, “It was hypnotism. I was beginning to see that Phineas could get away with anything.

This later gave raise to his strong conviction of war against poverty throughout his life as well as believing in education would allow a person to escape poverty. Jane Addams came about in a different way to helping the poor.
The book depicted Chris McCandless as moody, sensitive, smart, hardworking, persuasive, determined, and very resourceful; these qualities are evident from very young age. The book also painted a picture of a young man at odds with his family and conflicted by the opportunities his upper middle-class status has afforded him. He was acutely aware of those who were less fortunate them himself, and he attempted to know that world and to encourage his peers to know that world. Though McCandless seemed to value the friendships and relationships he built after embarking on his journey, this was inconsistent with his ability to sever all ties with those with whom he had previous lifelong relationships. McCandless also struggled with his desire to go to and exist in the Alaska wilderness, and the reality that he might not
It’s amazing how long it took them to finally sign off on those acts because of how horrendous the working conditions were. This book also made me realize not to take life today for granted because it made me appreciative for what I have, the house I live in, and how close my family
