Perhaps Society and Family....

      I just started reading "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer and I am a little dissapointed on how the beginning of the story started. I was a little surprise when I read the part saying Chris probably died because of starvation. Normally I would see a character dying at the end of the book, but it's different this time. I'm looking forward to read the conclusion of the book.

    When I read Chapter 1 & 3, I found 2 quotes that made me ask myself "Why the heck would you live in the wild if you have lots of money?" (Not that money is everything to me). "How I feed myself is none of the government's business. F*** their stupid rules." This quote got me into thinking that Chris really hated our society. "A younger sister, Carine, with whom Chris was extremely close, and six half-brothers and sisters from Walt's first marriage." This quote got me saying, "Hmmm. Is there some family issues that made Chris disappear?" Perhaps society and his family are the reasons why Chris decided to live in the wild.
