Chris McCandless was a free spirited, adventurous, ambitious man. He was his own character. No one could tell him what to do or change his beliefs. I admire Chris, you only meet or know very few people like himself. A lot of people call him crazy but honestly how many people do you know that has dropped everything in life family, friends, money, car, etc to do what they truly believe in? He is not a wacko because he did something with his life, this is what made him happy. In some ways I believe Chris was an idealist. He was inspired by many which probably gave him the idea to actually do what he wanted in life. Chris's actions were similar to transcendentalism. He went out into the wild to live how we are all supposed to live, like animals. Chris did this with no problem. He is intelligent and knew what he was doing until he mistake a poisonous berry with an edible. That's when he began to suffer and pleaded for help.
