Chris Mccandless Consequences In Into The Wild

Consequences of Pride Chris McCandless, the young man who died during his travel to Alaska, seemed to be more of a foolish adventurer than an inspiring hero. His desire to journey started in April 1992, where he stopped all contact with his family, donated to save starving children, and deserted his beloved Datsun. After Jon Krakauer, an American writer, wrote about him in Outside magazine, Krakauer continued researching him, and thereby published the book, Into the Wild, in 1996.
