"Into the Wild" analysis

I liked reading this reading because it was interesting to me. I liked how McCandless had the guts to just march out into Alaskan Territory to live on his own. I wouldn't have the guts to do that. On the other hand though, he was kind of an idiot because he didn't prepare himself for that strenuous of living. It made me mad that after he gave up on crossing the river, we found out that there was a cable with a cart hanging over the river to get across. Anyway, overall i really like the excerpt because i prefer to read non-fiction.
