        <description><![CDATA[The quote first appeared in the book.  Krakaeur attributes the quote to Ronald Franz, an older retired army man.  Chris met Franz (this is a pseudonym for the actual person) is Salton City, CA in 1992.  Franz had lost his family in an accident long ago and was a recovering alcoholic.  He and Chris formed a father-son type bond.
According to Krakaeur, Franz was a devout Christian who would question Chris' lifestyle and choices often.  It...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One of the keys pieces in the philosophic idea of transcendentalism is the person’s believe that through a strong relationship with nature, one can transcend himself / herself.  This is completely evident in Chris’ journey.  He relied on nature (at times) almost 100% and it seems that when successful the relationship that he created with nature helped him feel more spiritual, and closer to both himself and the world around him.  A...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Because the novel is written in third person point of view, the reader can only make assumptions of what McCandless expected to accomplish on his adventure "into the wild".  Through his journal writings and the interviews that Krakauer makes reference to, it is clear that McCandless was or was trying to become a transcendentalist like Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, for example.  A transcendentalist looks to transcend himself...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Chris McCandless was an adventurer all of his life. In Krakauer's book, the chapter entitled, "Chesapeake Beach" we read about Chris's childhood.  Walter McCandless Jr. describes Chris as a boy who was always being "pulled back from the edge."  On page 106 Krakauer writes:

"It is impossible to know what murky convergence of chromosomal matter, parent-child dynamics, and alignment of the cosmos was responsible, but Chris came into the world...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The word “hubris” is derived from the ancient Greeks.  A person who dared to challenge the gods, or to become too full of their own importance, strength, intelligence, or power suffered from “hubris”.  In today’s terms, we use hubris to mean arrogance or excessive pride.  In literary terms, the word hubris as become synonymous with the term “tragic flaw”.  It is the character’s “hubris” that will ultimately lead to his...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Well, at the surface, the point of this story is tell the history of Chris McCandless, a man who died at the age of 24 after taking off into the Alaskan wilderness.  This man, who grew up in a fairly privileged lifestyle and who had much education, chose to set off into the woods of Alaska with little to no supplies, saying he was going to "live off the land."  It was an odd thing to do, and the fact that McCandless died of uncertain causes...]]></description>
