Into the wild is a book written by Jon Krakauer. There is also a movie directed by sean penn. The main character is chris mccandless. He goes on a fool's trip running away from society and ended up dead in alaska. Shaun callarman says he was bright and ignorant at the same time. I believe that his argument was valid and he makes a good point.

Important life lesson NO.2: Never lie, cheat, or steal your way to the top because all that lies at the top is grief and depression. So, chris mccandless was an arrogant, selfish man that drop his already amazing life to live and inevitably die in alaska. He should have stayed home, he would have eventually found what he was looking for. But still to today no-one knows for certain what he was truly doing. I believe he was running away from his parents and their high control over his life. Therefore chris mccandless, in my eyes, was just crazy, he might of had a mental problem or something. To end, another important life lesson, never forget who you are and where you come from, for if you do, you can hurt the others around
