 Into the Wild tells the story of Chris McCandless, a child of privilege who drops out to go on a personal quest. He travels throughout the American West and ultimately comes to a sad end in Alaska.
Do you know anyone like McCandless? What motivates folks to leave behind comfort and security for a journey? What is the allure of the wild? What do you make of McCandless’s choices? Why is Krakauer drawn to this story? Do you agree with the author that McCandless made “innocent mistakes,” or do you blame the young man for his death?
Respond to any or all of these questions. And please share your personal stories of quests taken or resisted.
