    My economics teacher once told me a revised version of an old cliche. “Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it can provide security, which can help protect your happiness.” This is true, to a large extent.

    A man whose goal is to become lost in the wild has recently become the ideal picture of what people aspire to be. Chris McCandless and his journey, depicted in Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, is the face behind the story that everyone wanted to live. Turning down the conformity of society and living a minimalistic life has helped Chris find who he was while in the wild. Minimalism throughout Chris McCandless's journey in Into The Wild helps him work through his thoughts; and over time leads him to the conclusion that life is better but harder when living in the solitude of nature without self-fulfilling items. To live without unneeded items, and to be detached from most worldly possessions is the minimalistic point of view.…

    Also makes a very good point when she discusses how the others from Hati were living, she went into detail and gave me a sad picture of how they were living and being treated. I have to agree here becuause living basically piled up not being aple to go outside, or anywhere for that matter and not having the freedom would make anyone feel that they are in prison. And it's sad to see that the kids were practically begging to be able to go outside and play like the dream of any kid but the parents had to say no,, so they kids suffered a great deal to. I feel as if they are the kids who didnt have a child hood and were forced to grow up fast and grow up in a world full of dictator…

Henry David Thoreau, poet and writer, lived in the wilderness away from distractions to experience self discovery.
