Response to "Into the wild by Jon Krakauer book 2nd response/ review"

This is something that I found on David's blog that I thought was interesting to write about:
I believed that Chris had lived an abnormal life because he didn't want to be successful in college but rather explore nature. He ran away from home. He enjoyed being by himself much more that hanging out with the friends that he makes. He donated all his money instead of using it on his trips. On the other hand, I also thought that it was reasonable because he had many family problems. The parents constantly yelled at each other so only his sister was close to him.
This small summary of the book "Into The Wild" by Jon Krakauer really intrigued me to pick this book up. It sounded really interesting because it is amazing that someone would do all of those things to experience the life of the "wild". Personally, the thought of leaving everything behind to live a life of complete freedom is just mind-blowing to me. It is also something that I would do if I could because the idea of living in the wild by myself seemed to be such an incredible opportunity to me. There wouldn't be anything to worry about at all except for finding of and that shouldn't be too hard since food is everywhere in the wild.

I could also see why doing this sort a thing is not such a positive thing to do since it could ruin the relationship of your family and friends. Like David mentioned in his blog, one of the reason why Chris left on this incredible adventure is the fact that Chris is having family problems. Personally, family is really important to me. The idea of leaving your family when your family already is having problem seemed to be not such a good thing to do. So in a way, gaining ultimate freedom is not such a good idea when you have to make the relationship of your family even worse. In conclusion, this book sounded really interesting, and it really intrigues me to find out how Chris's adventure will end up.
