Into the Wild 6-9

I have a conflicted perspective of how I think Krakauer feels about McCandless. While on one hand, it feels like Krakauer really hones in on how unprepared and and reckless this was for McCandless to do, it does seem like he really idolizes McCandles and thinks it was a very bold move and admirable of someone to do to put so much effort and dedication into his cause. Although in the end he ended up being unsuccessful he did make a good attempt. 

I do agree with how Krakauer views McCandless. I also feel like randomly deciding this is what he wants to do and just heading off without telling anyone, doing any research, or preparing himself with any useful supplies was a very dumb move. I do also admire his dedication and I find it inspiring that he put his mind to what he wanted to do and did so without accepting much help from anyone at all. He was very headstrong and determined to achieve what he had set out to do and I feel that is a very interesting characteristic about him. I do definitely feel like he was an idealist with a dream. Although he definitely could have been successful if he put more thought into preparation, I do still find it admirable that he had the courage to set out and embark upon such a journey completely on his own.
