After Thoughts...

Think about the following questions:  Do you feel, as one letter writing did, that there is "nothing positive at all about Chris McCandless' lifestyle or wilderness doctrine...surviving a near death experience does not make you a better human it makes you @#$% lucky" (116); or do you see something admirable or noble in his struggles and adventures?  Was he justified in the pain he brought to family and friends in choosing his own solitary course in life?
