Chris McCandless as depicted in the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer and in the movie of the same name by Sean Penn, was not ignorant and he did have common sense. He had every reason to go into the Alaskan wilderness and to say he had no common sense is ridiculous. He was definitely not crazy and his courage and noble ideas should be admired.

The image of rape of a white women is not the same as interracial sex, but if you are Ethan from The Searchers then the rape of a white women would not be the same thing as interracial sex, according to The Searchers, “ Ethan’s racism and fear of miscegenation manifest themselves so often that a couple of examples of him at his vindictive should suffice: firstly, when he shoots the eye out of the dead Indian, eternally demining him to “ wander forever between the wind’s. Secondly when he shoots at an enormous herd of buffalo, figuring that “killing” buffalo’s as good as killing Injuns in the country” (Nugent 70).

He chose what he did and he maybe didn’t know what he was going through, but he just wanted

In a thick black bullet proof vest with leg pouches for grenades along with built in thigh straps that concealed knives and every other weapon that you could imagine being on a person.
