Christopher Johnson McCandless was a hiker also named Alexander Supertramp who ventured into the Alaskan wilderness in April 1992 with some food and equipment , hoping to live in isolation. Nearly four months later, McCandless' body was found, weighing just 30kg. Her story shocked many people and caught the attention of magazine editor Jon Krakauer. At first, he wrote a small article in Outside magazine which caused a lot of controversy among readers. Since Krakauer gained a lot of attention from his article, he decided to investigate McCandless's journey further. Krakauer ended up writing the book called Into the Wild and explains in great detail McCandless's life before his journey into the wilderness. Nowadays most teenagers or young adults would never give up the life they have because they are so attached to electronics and our environment, because Chris McCandless is a different story, he gave everything what he had in life to go out and live a life in seclusion which resulted in his death.CHRIS McCANDLESS BEFORE IN THE WILDChris McCandless was born in El Segundo, California on February 12, 1968, he was the older brother of Carine. His father was employed as an antenna specialist at the National Aerooutics and Space Administration. His mother worked as a secretary at Hughes Aircraft. Then the family decided to move to Fairfax, Virginia, where Chris lives. Chris's parents argued often and sometimes considered divorce. Chris and Carine have six half-siblings living in California, from his father's first marriage. Chris' father had an affair with Chris' mother while he was married, because of this caused him to feel bitter towards his father, perhaps he was so ashamed of himself that 'he just wanted to have... middle of paper... ...st article in the history of the magazine', meaning that readers were interested in the article he wrote called "Outside". Moreover, while reading the mail, he had two types of views, first as he said: “Some readers greatly admired the boy for his courage and noble ideas” and the other view is “ He perished out of arrogance and stupidity and did not deserve the considerable media attention he received. » I believe he decided to do more in-depth research on Chris McCandless, the guy who decided to live differently from the rest of us, to answer questions from both perspectives. When writing the book, he wanted the reader to read it and form their own opinion. He wrote about his past life and the conflicts that led him to choose to live in nature. As Krakauer wrote more and more about Chris, readers began to know Chris in every aspect of his life..
