Topic: Inspiration or Fool?
"McCandless's apparent salvation, in other words, seemed to be only a three-hour walk upriver. This sad irony was widely noted after the aftermath of his death." (Krakauer 196)
McCandless was only three hours away from his rescue. Most people's reactions after hearing the story would think that Chris was an idiot. He went into the wilderness alone with little supplies, and tools to help him navigate so no wonder he died in the wilderness. However looking back on his entire life, the choices he made, and the people he met we could learn a lesson from him. If anything it might have been a good thing that Chris had died. Chris's death has taught people hat you should live your life to the fullest because you never know know how short its is going to be. Would you rather live a short and eventful life or a live a long life and do the things you wanted towards the end?
