Although, Ojito described her commitment to staying objective she failed towards her conclusion in Hunting Season by providing her own personal opinion and stating "what I think I do know is that Jeffrey Connor didn't set out to kill anybody that night" (Ojito, 2014, p. 223). However, Ojito provided sufficient information leads the reader to make his/her own personal interpretation including the note Jeff wrote at the end of the police report that stated, "killed by me" and the stab wound described as a "twist in the knife when it entered the body."

As immigration and relations between races become more influential issues in politics, there have been many opposing views on the treatment of minority groups.

McCandless was an intelligent young man who made a few mistakes but overall Krakauer believed that McCandless was not an ignorant adrenalin junkie who had no respect for the land. Krakauer chose to write this biography because he too had the strong desire to discover and explore as he also ventured into the Alaskan Bush when he was a young man, but he survived unlike McCandless.
