    However, my argument is that McCandless was a dreamer and an explorer; an admirable person with worthwhile ethics. The experiences which shaped McCandless’s character began when he was a young boy. He grew up in a household where dysfunction was the norm. Therefore, his first stage in the Hero’s Journey, his “Ordinary World” was one of hurt and family dysfunction, as there were issues such as adultery surrounding McCandless’s childhood. McCandless’s upbringing is easily comparable to that of…

    he proved himself to be an independent and adventurous young man. “I can almost understand why he rejected maps, common sense, conventional wisdom and local knowledge before embarking on his venture. Occasionally when I hear others make fun of Christopher McCandless, I fall quiet” (Sherry Simpson). Simpson views McCandless as a hero because she can relate to how he was feeling and she admires his courage and uniqueness.

    He determined that he would travel to Alaska, get further away from it all, and face nature at its finest. He traveled exceptionally light. He didn?t take much, a parka, a small rifle, some boots, a few clothes, a ten pound bag of rice, books, and little else. ?The heaviest item in McCandless?s half-full backpack was his library: nine or ten paperbound books. Among the authors were Thoreau, Tolstoy, Gogol, Crichton, Pirsig, L?Amour, and a plant journal? (Krakauer 162). Chris wanted to live…

    The Americas were sparsely inhabited and unused. Much of the land had been used once but was soon deserted since the inhabitants were mostly hunter-gathers, wandering across the land. The land was basically wasted and it was lucky that the Europeans finally found a use for it. The Europeans used the empty lands for their benefit while the Indians had not. For a thousand years, the Americas had not changed with a few exceptions of the Iroquois, the Aztecs, and the Incas, which were continually…

    Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) was an Italian explorer who proposed reaching Asia by means of a westward route across the Atlantic Ocean, and instead discovered and explored the Caribbean, as well as parts of Central and South America. Initially sponsored by King Ferdinand (1452-1516) and Queen Isabella (1451-1504) of Spain in 1492, Columbus is popularly believed to have been the first European to land and therefore discover the "New World" of the Americas.

    In 1492, Christopher Columbus did what no other explorer dared attempt, sail west on the Atlantic in order to reach the rich lands of Asia. A radical idea if proven true would reserve his name in the history books. Columbus succeeded in leaving his mark on history, but not for the reason he expected. As time passes and attitudes change, history is constantly being rewritten. Modern historians have deeply analyzed Columbus 's hold on history and have come to the conclusion, that he was not in…
