Bio-Poem for Chris McCandless


Chris McCandless
Adventure-seeker, stubborn, generous, and a survivor of nature
A main character in Jon Krakauer's story
Lover of the wild, Alaska, his shiny '69 Datsun, and enjoying the wonders of life
Who notices the wrong-doings of his father, the cold yet wonderful Alaskan landscapes, and regular boring lives of the American people
Who feels people should be free, that college is a waste of money, and that Alaskan state troopers are not clever enough
Who learns how to survive with only a bag of rice and a book for over a month , and find hidden message within famous novels
Who says "if you want something life, reach out and grab it"
Who used to think that the Mexican river was completely save, but now knows you need a bigger boat to sail
Major Character in Into the Wild 
A book that shows passion, dreams, kindness, and determination
A book that made Westerberg cry.
