Dear Outside magazine,
Considering that most magazine articles do not particularly interest me, The article of Chris McCandless kept me intreged throughout the entire story, at the end my eyes gasping for more information. Actions such as the one he took are not seen often by the world(if ever). I am aware that the world can potentially have two different views on his journey, stupidity vs. courage. Although his mission was dangerous, i choose to see him as a figure of courage and strength.
Anyone can venture into to wild, searching for something more to life or to themsleves but they way he went about his journey and especially his attitude really grabbed my attention throughout the article. It seemed so carefree and relient on nature to take care of him. He left every source of communication with society behind and was so sure of his decsion, not letting anyone change his mind. He isnt going out there to prove anything to the world and perhaps not even himself. Throughout the reading it seemed as though his personality benefitted every situation he encountered and had a dramatic influence on he met. I see him as a man of true courage with an incredibley strong heart. He wanted to live in a way that no one else hat the guts to do.
Anyone can speak of dropping everything, running into the wild, and discovering the true beauty of the world and oneself but Chris McCandless actually did it. Right there he set himself apart from the society, in a way that no one else had dared to do before.
