Into the Wild Blog #2

At the begining he most definitely thought that he was prepared; however, while Jim Gallien talked to him on the ride he might of doubted if he was actually prepared. After being dropped off at his destination he gained back his confidence and believed that he could survive with everything he had in his possession. If I was him I would of brought an ax and a couple more food items.

In my opinion I believe that that was actually a good idea to start the story that way. Usually that would ruin it; however, it made me become interested and wonder what happened to him. That makes me actually want to go deeper into the book to find what I think it might mean. I believe he told the story this way to catch the readers attention. He probably thought that some people would not like the idea of spoiling the ending. On the other hand, he knew most people would be drawn to try and figure out what happened to McCandless.

I was a little terrified. If I was just taking a hike through the woods and all of a sudden see a note that someone might be dieing or even worse already be dead. My mind was flooding with things that could of happened to him while being in the wild by himself. All of the ideas were over whelming. Just putting me in his position and writing the note. He was hoping for someone to find him; however, he might of thought that no one would probably find him. It is a devastating to think of all the ideas of how he could of died. I know it's just the begining of the story, but I would really like to know what happen to McCandless.

He is a wako for going into the wild. People are right for thinking he is a little meesed up in his head. Also, he is admirable for doing something that he believes he can do. To one day just decide to head out to the wild and see if you can start a new life sounds crazy to everyone. He wants to find a new life because he is used to getting money and comig from a rich family.

McCandless wanted to try and know what it is like to fend for hisself and not depending on other people in their lives. I think he wants to this because he has probably gotten whatever he wanted when ever he wanted something. People who go one this journey want to try and figure out who they really are. They want to know if they can actually do something they put their mind to. Also, they want to prove people who say they can't do it wrong. Many people wory about what others think of them so they want to do something that no one else would  do to try and be completely different from others. Some tend to give up as soon as things get rough; however, McCandless was not about to give up on going out into the wild and finding what he needed to do.
