Yes, he did both hurt himself and help himself, that's so true. I love how you understand both sides of the topic of Krauker inserting himself in the ...

I agree. He wasn't making it about him since he was on topic. If he started going on a tangent about something random, it would be a little more weird...

I agree with that. Materialism is an underlying message throughout the whole book. He doesn't want to be in the real world, he leaves his items behind...

Krakauer tells the story how it is. He never puts a negative opinion on what McCandless does, though, he doesn’t point out his good thoughts on McCand...

Oh my god, this is such a good topic, that would be definitely difficult to give up! This is very creative and something I never even thought about wh...
