Through this little thing called life we all try to figure out who we are what we want to be and ultimately what we want to accomplish in life. In the books Catcher in the rye, Into the wild and mask of the red death all these books show a similar theme for the main characters such as understanding society, trying to figure out who they are, and finally death. For Holden in catcher in the rye it's all about him Salinger does a great job on going on and describing the adventure for holden on who he is and what he is meant to be.

For Into the wild Chris takes up on adventure through his mind and what he believes, he is so tired of all the hate and all the idolizing of people and items such as money, cars, technology, ect. “He could simply abandon his Datsun and resume his odyssey on foot. And that's what he decided to do”(Krakauer,28-29).

The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour” (Poe). Poe tries to create an atmosphere of fear right at the beginning of the story. This is just about the scariest depiction of death you could imagine in a paragraph. The price Shuts himself off from society just like Chris Mccandless did in into the wild but the prince was a little more selfish he did so he wouldn't catch the disease and just sit in his castle while the rest of the world dies of the plague.
