Idea Analysis #18 + commentary

   John Krakauer may have many purposes for writing "Into the wild", but his main intention was to make himself a celebrity by writing about an interesting event. He felt the need to expand on the facts that were already presented. There were many things in the incident that were plain, but when Krakauer found these things he expanded beyond content. Therefore, he is not writing for Mccandless benefit or for his family but only for himself and the pros he gets out of it.
 
   There are many questions about everything about this case. In my opinion, he should of left it alone and just go on with his life. However, he wanted to do something with it. Why? I asked that question constantly in my mind when this story comes up. For example, if i find a young gurl that ran away because of the reason, she wanted to feel free. In addition, she goes out and does some interesting thing and ends of dead. If i am a writer, i wouldn't try to all of a sudden become an investegator and try to solve the case. Unless, its for the benefit of myself and publicizing myself to the world using the deceased girl.

   In the same case with the girl to Chris Mccandless, Krakauer should of just let the story go as a memory. This is a prime example that compares both in the same situation and why he made a mistake in my eyes. In his own, he did what is rite because he probably made money off of this book. Finally, we must look at the whole situation as a moral story, what would be rite for you. As for me i feel he did all that to make himself known.

  1. I agree with you but I still believe he wanted the readers to know why Chris McCandless did what he did.
