1. Why would Chris MCCcandless change his name and, give $ 25,00 dollars to charity and than not research the Alaska mountains before going out and trying to survive in them? (Cover)
2. Do the family members and the people who got to know Chris have a foundation in his name? ( through out book)

Response: I have read the author note, chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and the beginning of chapter 5. In reading the authors note I got to understand the author’s point of view and his own experience climbing a mountain and going to Alaska on a trip to be at piece with himself.  What I enjoyed reading about in chapters 1 the Alaska interior, the beginning of Chris mccandless adventure in Fairbanks Alaska where he had only enough to survive at least that what he thought when he begun.  2 stampede trail where the end of a near sorrow trail lead Chris to his words of wisdom. , 3, and 4 is that we get to see how Chris got from way of thinking to another including how he got from being a rich kid in the nice neighborhood to experiencing the wild of Alaska . According to Jon Krauker of Into the Wild, “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life.” (Page 15, chapter 3) Leo Tolstoy, “Family Happiness” Passage highlighted in one of the books found in Chris McCandless’s Remains this statement means that not all families are perfect but there is some since of normality instead of the fake reality most people live in when there life’s shattered.
