Conflicts In Into The Wild

Christopher McCandless, the main character of the story Into the Wild, struggled with an internal conflict. Throughout the book Chris struggles with his thirst of adventure and poor relationships with his parents. As a result of Chris’s poor relationship with his parents, he wanted to get away and avoid them. With his thirst for adventure he finds Alaska, the great frontier, a very appealing place to venture into. But sadly, this led to his own demise. But before Chris had met his end, he meets people along the way and makes better relationships with them than his own parents.

Into the Wild was an interesting book. For me, it was kind of confusing. I didn’t understand how it was structured until the end. Fragments of one story from many different people, I had the idea that this was Chris’ journal or something. It kept jumping from different dates. It wasn’t really in sequence which got me confused. To be honest it wasn’t as interesting as the books I normally read which are fantasy and have a more smooth plot. But as far as true stories go it wasn’t that bad. I normally feel ill towards assigned books but this one proved to be worth
