One may say that McCandless’ violent childhood is what caused his downfall. McCandless may have even had the right idea, separating himself from his family, but due to his fragile state of mind he may have gone to too much of an extreme. He ended up taking the policies and principles of transcendentalism too far, which is really what resulted in his death. A concept that transcendentalism goes strongly against is materialism, a principle that may have saved his life. He was so anti materialistic in fact, that he refused to even have a phone or form of communication, this ultimately could have saved his life.

Chris McCandless and Henry David Thoreau are followers of the 19th century philosophy Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism is the belief that everyone has the wisdom in them to be one with God without having to go through a priest or be in a church. Transcendentalists base this philosophy on self-wisdom, nature, and social reform. Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild shows Chris McCandless’ choices and parallels to Henry David Thoreau’s transcendental beliefs from Walden. One transcendental belief that Chris McCandless follows is living deliberately.
Honestly there were parts that were a little boring in between all the action and fighting, but for the most part it kept me interested. One thing that I loved and hated was the use of so many characters so fast. For me, this made certain parts very confusing as I tried to put names with facts while getting certain characters mixed up. The beginning of the novel is harder to follow because of this.
ved Call of the Wild. The Call of the Wild is an interesting and adventuress book. It has alot of foreshadowing and suspence. Some chapters are confusing because of how they talk. Overall the book Call of the Wild is a good book.
For years, man and nature have coexisted in harmony, but in recent years, man and nature have become increasingly disconnected, as air conditioning, GMO’s, and other innovations have been made to combat the natural way of life. Some people, such as Christopher McCandless, wish to be one with nature again. As his journey into the Alaskan wilderness proved, nature and man have a glorious and close, but sometimes the unforgiving and hostile relationship, as some men admire nature, but nature is not forgiving of simple mistakes as some minor misdoings can seal one’s fate. This is proven in Jon Krakauer’s novel, Into the Wild, as nature was unforgiving of Christopher’s mistakes while attempting to survive in the Alaskan wilderness. This relationship
One of my favorite things about this book was how action pact it was. Even when there was no fighting there was suspense building. Another great thing about this book is that there is very little foul language and has nothing sexual in
I thought call of the wild was great. My favorite part was when Buck chased the wounded moose. My other favorite part was when Buck attacked the man in the bar. My least favorite part was when the two men with John made Buck go back in the river to save John. My other least favorite part in the book was when all the other sled dogs took Bucks food.
Additionally, I enjoyed the community feel of the book especially the moment

Buck and the progression of his tendency to revert to the inner instincts of fierce violence and extreme competition The story begins at a wealthy neighborhood where Buck lives his owner Judge Miller is a well-respected and very wealthy Judge who lives in Santa-Clara Valley.
"Jack London, a renowned and remarkably talented writer who has always been able to get me anticipating his next novels is truly a special novelist. Many people have come to appreciate the level of captivation, suspense thoughtfulness often packed in his awe-inspiring novels - in addition to the high level of entertainment that never goes missing from virtually all of this works. I personally feel he is grossly underrated and doesn't get the accolades he rightly deserves. His new novel, The Call Of The Wild is another jaw-dropping work of art, a gripping story about a dog that found itself dip in the brutal life of the Alaska gold rush.
My opinion on the novel The Call of the Wild changed a lot through the story. The Call of the Wild was a pretty good book, but sometimes I did not understand why some things were happening. Throughout the whole book I only did not understand, or did not like a few things. I liked most of the parts so first i’ll tell you what i liked What I liked the most about The Call of the Wild was that John Thornton saved buck from Hal and Mercedes.
I definetely agree with the idea of power expressed in these quotes, especially with John Steinbecks theory on power. I think that people with power who have no fear of losing it dont tipically abuse it, but when they fear that they could lose their power I think thats when people tend to abuse it and create trouble. So power to me technically isnt bad it just depends on whats done with power. But i also think that when a man is completely powerless and he suddenly becomes powerful, that he will tend to abuse it because he will want to take advantage of his sudden power. I also love Nelson Mandela’s quote because to me it says that everyone can be powerful, that its not technically something someone is born into, but that if they take advantage
