How Does Alex Mccandless Need Relationships In Into The Wild

One of the themes that was pointed out through the book is, family is worth dying for. Alex proves this over and over again when he chooses to walk to Warren where his family is. He could have easily stayed and found a safer way out but he needed his family so much that he risked his life to walk through ash and snow just to

his parents, he only got along with his sister, Carine. It would not have been

As he grew up to become a writer, we see pain in the story he tells. “I loved those books, but I also knew that love had only one purpose. I was trying to save my life” (pg.18). Alexie wanted to be someone greater than what others expected him to be. People would put him down constantly, but he fought back just as much. He tried to save himself from the stereotypes of being just another dumb Indian. He had more determination to prove others wrong when it came too exceeding in reading to further excel in his daily life.

Alex then tries to combat that and say that there was no form of communication between the two of them about

The ¨ The less you know the more you believe” Jon Krakauer wrote the novel Into the Wild in 1996. Summary:

He meets people from all over and charms them, even people who hardly know him. Wayne’s mother, Mary, knew him for one night and later states, “Considering that I only spent a few hours in Alex’s company, it amazes me how much I’m bothered by his death” (Krakauer 124). Chris, at this point going by the name “Alexander Supertramp” (Krakauer 52), tells them stories about his travels, his beliefs, and his plans to live in the Alaskan wilderness. Many of the people he meets he becomes close with, and, makes sure to stay in contact with. Several of the people he met for just a short time suggested he contact them after his adventure, if only so they would know what become of him. Quite a few of them find themselves thinking of Alex as something like a son. One man, Ronald Franz, grew so attached to Alex that he asked if he could adopt him as his grandson. Alex brushes off the request by saying they’ll talk about it later, probably figuring Franz will let it

Alexie wants to show how he is affected by racism in his time and how even though there have been laws passed not to discriminate against people. Whenever police brutality is a main issue in today's era, then that means that racism has not been resolved. Alexie is proving the issue and proving that it has permanently scarred people to where they can’t fall asleep knowing they will be okay in the morning. Whereas the people that are causing this to people of colored decent, sleep as if nothing had happened to them and they are not even realizing how much hurt they are causing other people.

The author uses imagery to help further depict Alex's journey through maturity. When Alex and the other expedition members were eating Allende says, "Compared to venison, it was rather bland, but Alex decided that in any case it was better than the rubbery pancakes his father prepared" (Allende 140). At the beginning of the expedition, Alex refused to eat anything besides a very select few types off foods, but when this quote was taking place Alex was

In the novel it says, “Okay. The Nanny’s right. I’m on that rocket, trying to get home. ”Alex told them, “To the real world.” This shows that Alex only cares about himself not anyone else's because he leaves Ever After and his team is clueless.

It all started after college. He decided to go to Alaska, into the wild and live off the land. His life was in fact very adventurous on his way there. On his way going to Alaska a man named lifeWesterberg was willing to hitch him a ride. He never did go directly to Alaska though. He ended up staying and working for Westerberg. He worked at a grain elevator. Westerberg did some illegal things that eventually caused him to get arrested. Alex couldn’t work anymore

But he has learned more, a lot about his father. Like his life story, medals that he received, marriage, and how he got accepted into the criminal organization known as Scorpia. Even the most tragic, how his father died. He once thought, Mrs.Jones the operator of the MI6, was his friend. But he learned that it was Mrs.Jones who gave the orders to kill Alex’s father. The person who tells him this is the leader of Scorpia. So why Alex needs a backup is because he doesn't have a father or a relative that has been in the spy field, so he can’t take advice from anyone. Also he is only a teenager, a kid. So he doesn't have as much experience as if an adult would be doing the work. So because Alex’s dad is passed away, he doesn't have anyone to take advice from, so that's why he needs a

He changes from "I am not a witness" to "I am a witness" in line 102, Alexie changes to show that two wrongs do not equal one right. "I am a witness" is Alexie's way of saying this is happening and is something that can't be ignored of overlooked. He asks the question, who are we to judge? Who decides someone's life is over? Doesn't that make the person making the judgment just as guilty as the "killer?" Everyone sins in their lifetime, Alexie says at the end of the poem,

It was a dark and gloomy day. Once again Alex was home alone drowning in his own solitude. His parents were working, and his brother, Angel, was god knows where.

Alex was the type to keep to himself because of the shame he had to his background. There are very little instances in life where he actually made friends; through the movie we meet Carlos, a troubled teen that shared a room in the orphanage with Alex. We can examine their relationship by stating the facts; it was short term, based on

After his decision he choices to brush his teeth even though it is far from bedtime. This shows that Alex has gone through and development, but that he wants to be child one last time (line 170, page 11).
