Chris McCandless Opinion

              My opinion about Chris McCandless is that he was very brave and courageous person.  Even though me might not have been the smartest person when thinking about a plan to get out and survive he was very intelligent with "street smarts" and very good social skills which got him very far in his adventures.  I don't think a man who was crazy in the head would be able to make it all the way to Alaska without any money or street smarts. I also don't think he was a crazy person just because he wanted to get away from the "normal" world, but courageous for doing so.  I can see where he was coming from, trying to stray away from the normal working world and live on his own.  I don't see him as stupid, but a somewhat role-model for showing the world that they can achieve whatever they want if they put their mind to it.  Although he did not survive, I think that living almost 4 months in the wild alone, without proper experience and proper supplies was a very good feat.  I feel like if he had made some more premeditated decisions he would have made it out alive with an exceptional story to tell, which shows people that they can do whatever they want, and achieve anything they want with just a little more premeditated decisions.  Overall, Chris McCandless was not a crazy person, but just a regular guy who wanted to stray away from the "normal" world and live a little.
