3. I think that Chris McCandless is a guy that is longing to fill an empty space in his life. He wants to be able to take care of himself using the things that nature gives him. Chris doesn't want someone else taking care of him. He believes in living off of life's necessities, nothing more. But, I do think that he is somewhat foolish for going into a harsh wilderness without thinking it through a little bit more. McCandless seems to be a very intelligent man with little common sense.
