McCandless was deeply influenced by the wilderness from "summary" of Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
McCandless's fascination with the wilderness ran deep. It was a part of him, something that seemed to define his very existence. Growing up, he was drawn to the outdoors, spending countless hours exploring the woods near his home. Nature seemed to speak to him in a way that nothing else could, offering a sense of freedom and solace that he couldn't find in the confines of civilization. As he grew older, McCandless's connection to the wilderness only strengthened. He sought out remote and untouched places, places where he could truly be alone with his thoughts. The vast expanse of the wild provided him with a sense of clarity and purpose that he struggled to find in the chaos of the modern world. It was in these moments, surrounded by nature's beauty, that McCandless felt truly at peace. The challenges of the wilderness also appealed to McCandless. He thrived in situations where survival was not guaranteed, where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. The harsh conditions and unforgiving landscape tested his limits, pushing him to become stronger and more resilient. In facing these challenges head-on, McCandless found a sense of purpose and a clarity of mind that he had never experienced before. However, McCandless's relationship with the wilderness was not without its complexities. While he found solace and meaning in its vastness, he also struggled with the harsh realities of survival. His journey into the Alaskan wilderness, in particular, revealed the unforgiving nature of the wild. It was a place that demanded respect and humility, traits that McCandless sometimes lacked in his pursuit of adventure.- McCandless's deep connection to the wilderness ultimately shaped his destiny. It was a force that guided his every decision, leading him down a path that would ultimately lead to his tragic end. Despite the dangers and challenges that the wilderness presented, McCandless could not resist its call. It was a part of him, a part that he could never truly escape.
