1. I enjoy this book so far. At first the writing style felt a little dry, but I'm beginning to like how the author includes all the quotes and passages to help piece together Chris' adventure. Especially how Krakauer introduces a new chapter or event with factual information not relating to Chris that connects somehow to him further on. It is remarkable that Krakauer wrote this for him.
2. There are so many words that I want to say because one word is so hard to choose. But vivacious would be mine. Because he is full of life. He is full of life in its raw form. Actually living by his own means, providing for himself, and doing what he chooses. Life shoulod be what you want, and he lives by what he wants and no one else's. Vivacious, grasping all the possibilities and experiences for life and living it to its greatest potential. Other words I would say would be compassionate and misunderstood.
3. The book explains that the human experience should be all that an individual learns for themself. So great a majority of society lives their life based on what others do or say. One must find truth and meaning in life for themself, and where they can find it without distraction would be in the natural world. The natural world they were born into, meant for.
4. I want to relate this to Call of the Wild by Jack London which explains that the wild calls for you and its inevitably within you. you just have to answer the call. Like Chris believes he is called to go on this odyssey.
5.I agree so much with the Chris on his view of the world but I don't know if I would become so extreme as him to go on this type of Odyssey. I definitely want to experience something like this for a certain time in my life. He makes such a great statement to society by this, and I hope I can do something similar in my lifetime.
6. The world is so much simpler in the wild, like the indians way of life, compared to modern day lifestyles.
