Into The Wild
Christopher Johnson McCandless wasn’t entirely like the average person who lives out in the wild. By that I mean he wasn’t hippie-like, wasn’t incompetent, a sociopath, or even necessarily an outcast. McCandless was something else - although it is hard to say. Almost like a pilgrim who journeys for both tranquility and adventure.
He was like a pilgrim who goes on a journey for both tranquility and adventure because he had to escape from the lifestyle he was living, and journey into a world in which he was more comfortable with, yet having a good time exploring at the same time.

He simply could not stand the way he was living, and he was not at ease and had to do something about it and leave. I feel like this was a good decision for him, and it made him happy.
To conclude, Christopher McCandless was not necessarily an sociopath, nutcase, or even necessarily an outcast. He was tired of the way he was living his life at home, and felt like he had to leave it and go out into the wild, which he did. He was just trying to live his life away from modern society, and be in his happy place, in the
