From the book Into The Wildnerness.
Jon Krakauer writes:
“McCandless didnt conform particularly well to the bush-casualty stereotype. Although he was rash, untutored in the ways of the backcountry, and incautious to the point of foolhardiness, he wasnt incompetenthe wouldnt have lasted 113 days if he were. And he wasnt a nutcase, he wasnt a sociopath, he wasnt an outcast. McCandless was something elsealthough precisely what is hard to say. A pilgrim, perhaps” (85).
For this Mastery Assignment, you will write a minimum two-page essay addressing the questions:
What was Chris McCandless seeking in the wilderness?
