Into The Wild

Welcome to my blog about the novel Into the Wild. This blog follows me as I read the novel and as I work on an english project about it.

Into the Wild is the story of Christopher McCandless who hitchhiked from the east coast to Alaska to live in the wilderness. The book is about his adventures as he traveled and survived in the wild and about the author searching for the truth about who McCandless was.

It is thought that McCandless died from starvation or from being poisened by a wild plant. This after he survived for 112 days with nothing more than a bag of rice and a rifle. McCandless had not talked to any family or friends since the beginning of his journey and no one knew who he was or why he was there.

The only insight to what happened to him was his entry and the memories of the people who knew him.
