They were very open to the Spanish but soon soured the relationship between the two. The Taínos offended the Spanish when…

In addition, there is a conflict between himself and nature in which, McCandless goes into the wilderness with little knowledge of what’s around and with a scarce amount of resources. Chris also faces a man versus society…
