I disappointed my father in the usual ways. Like Chris McCandless, figures of male authority aroused in me a confusing melody of corked fury and hunger to please.”
After graduating from college Chris seemed to change. He said things like “an epic journey that would change everything”, that he saw college as “an absurd and onerous duty”, and that heading on this adventure made him feel free “from the stifling world of his parents and peers, a world or abstraction and security and material excess”. Some people may say that Chris had struggles with his family “”From the things he said, you could tell something wasn’t right between him and his family…..””(Krakauer 18).

I feel like he was done having his family provide for him, ““I'm going to have to be real careful not to accept any gifts from them in the future because they will think they have bought my respect””(Krakauer

Racism is one of the main subthemes that is evident throughout the book. The treatment of the African American race showed how the White race felt about the African Americans.

Everybody knows they carry different kinds of diseases than we do” (Stockett,10).
