Prompt: Inspiration or fool?
So far from reading part of McCandless's life story I can't help but think, was he really adventuring into the wilderness to find solace or to commit Sucicide? Well, many can acknowledge the danger of hitchhiking across the United States, some can also interpret that it is his arrogance that keeps him going. He feels as if this journey can be his chance to not only live freely for the first time in his life, but to also experience living completely and independently by himself. At this moment he feels that this is worth it. However, living completely and independently come with a cost of support but sometimes being alone and away can lead to what he is looking for, amity with God and tranquility, hopefully in time he will find it.
