Chapter 14 &15 were kinda boring for me. I don’t know about anybody else but listening to Krakauer talking about climbing the “Devils Thumb” wasn’t really exciting for me. I don’t know if I was paying attention to what he is talking about or I just wasn’t interested. So I sort of skip some boring parts because I wanted to know more about Chris. I DO KNOW that the book isn’t just about Chris, but I wanted to know more about his journey into the wild. It’s a good book though, but I guess reading Jon’s story abut climbing the “Devils Thumbs” came in a bad timing. I was looking for more background story about Jon Krakauer (I think I’m starting to like reading other people’s biography).
When I learned that Chris was afraid of water I scoffed, “You’re afraid of water, but you’re not afraid of being lost in the wild?” But the quote “Disaster...Rained in. River look impossible. Lonely scared,” made me feel bad about saying he’s a wimp. It was weird reading line that because I kinda got used to knowing Chris as an adventurous, and fearless guy. He never really showed his anxiety side (Was that sentence right?).When he said “Lonely , scared,” it reminded me of his mom and dad. I have no idea why I thought of them, but Chris sounded like he needed his parents to comfort him. He was like a lost little boy, looking for his mommy and his daddy.
