If I did, maybe I would do just that.Д®ddie VedderвЂ™s Society on the soundtrack fit perfectly, yet was an unexpected slap in the face. Overall, parents who have enjoyed it and passed it on to their teens will have much to discuss. I findВ myself grateful that I didnвЂ™t have $24,000 in my college fund when I was in my 20s, so I never had a chance to donate it all to OXFAM and take off to Alaska. Its a chilling read and one that cant be put down, but it may not be appropriate for sensitive teen readers or any teens without the maturity to see past the adventure. Where do you draw the arbitrary line? Why bring rice? Why bring a gun? Why pick the coldest state, rather than Florida or California, where вЂњliving off the landвЂќ would be significantly more realistic?Дig deep enough, and you may find yourself not just walking into the wilderness, but jumping off a cliff, or even staring down theВ barrel of a gun, as you look for ultimate freedom. Must you wander around in the wilderness, without any conveniences of the modern world to be truly free? The idea of it is intoxicating, but implications are scary. What if he was both? He identifies himself as вЂњan extremist, an aesthetic voyager.вЂќ A book review by an English professor reminds us that this labelВ goes hand in hand with вЂњpassion for aloneness and his avoidance of enduring human commitments, whether to family or to the friends who help him get to AlaskaвЂќ. Most people deemed Chris either a spoiled brat or a true adventurer. In actuality, we have no idea why Chris took off into the wilderness, or what random combination of factors ended up contributing to his death. I wish things were that clear in real life. Book Review: Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer Posted on by Andreas Moser Into the Wild is the real story of Christopher McCandless, a young American who decided to roam the wilderness of the United States after graduating from university and who eventually died of starvation in Alaska, aged 24. Few interesting characters thrown for good measure.

There is more clarity to a movie, even the one based on a true story. Firepaw turns out to be our hero, not only through his physical prowess but through his honesty and forthrightness.

It is the story of a house cat, a kitten actually, who decides to join a clan of wild cats in the woods.

I enjoyed the movie immeasurably better than the book, and perhaps, thatвЂ™s not surprising. The first book in the series is Warriors: Into the Wild. I have a rule that if I have even a remote interest in reading the book, I hold off on watching the movie. Specifically, this means that I read (listened and watched) both вЂњInto The WildвЂќ and вЂњInto The Thin AirвЂќ in the last couple of months. I have been on a Jon Krakauer kick lately. You think you have to want more than you need I definitely recommend this book to all readers since every single person can take something from this book, negative or positive.We have a greed with which we have agreed The book tells the true story of Christopher. I personally enjoy this book because it makes you feel as if what he did was amazing and if you, too, need an adventure like that in your life. Jon Krakauers Into the Wild was originally published in 1996. I donвЂ™t even know the words to explain how awesome this book is.

This book is a amazing classic that will always be on my bookshelf. This is a edge of seat novel perfect for young readers 9 to 12 years old.

Krakauer interviews the people who Chris has interacted with, and all of them say that Chris changed their life for the better, even those who he only shared a car ride with. Plus Erin Hunter writes the book beautifully. The story jumps around occasionally, but it is just extraordinary to me how a single young man was able to travel almost all of the United States by foot and hitchhiking, and then end up in Alaska where he lived in the Wild until August 1992. Into the Wild follows the life of Chris McCandless, a young man who dropped everything and took to the road, and how he even ended up in Alaska in the first place and although he is dead, the trail and influences he left behind live on in those he met. September 1992, a young man named Chris McCandless is found dead in the Alaskan Wilderness and Jon Krakauer is determined to sniff out every clue as to why.
