After reading the entire book of Chris McCandless, my thoughts about him do not change. I still feel the same way that he is an adventurous person and still has a close connection with nature. Also, I think there was no selfish bone in his body. There still do not see how someone thinks he went out into Alaska to die. I feel that he knew it in his mind, but never wanted it to actually happen to him. I am sure that after he accomplished his dream, he thought about going back and rekindling the fire with his family again. I do not think he ever wanted to truly hurt them. So my feelings and thoughts on Chris have yet to change.
After the reaction of his family at the bus, I felt they only wanted to understand. There weren't tears shed by his mother, but she left the care package for the next explorer. He was not crazy by any means or ignorant. Chris knew what he thought he should and went out to be away and alone. To some he would be an idealistic kind of person; however, I do not feel as if his family felt that way. There are some types of people that get an idea into their heads and will not let it go until it is reached. McCandless was one of these people. An outgoing, smart young man is all that Chris was!
