Nature Writing Draft or Outline

1. Do you feel, as one letter writer did, that there is “nothing positive at all about Chris McCandless’ lifestyle or wilderness doctrine …surviving a near death experience does not make you a better human it makes you damn lucky” (Ch 8, pg 71); or do you see something admirable or noble in his struggles and adventures?

Chris McCandless, known as Alex the young man that camped in Alaska for months, was admirable in many ways. He was passionate about wanted to reach and fulfill his desires, which in my opinion was to be in pure nature, wanted to "shed unnecessary baggage." (pg 29.) He was determined and persistent to reach his goal that all those speed bumps didnt stop him, losing his car in a flash flood or canoeing his way out of Mexico was tough situations that I think not a lot of people can go through and still have high spirits afterwards. Something else that i found very admirable and inspirational about the "experience" that Chris went through is that he stayed true to himself in a way. He didnt do what was expected of him, he was his own person. He fulfill his dreams, some people may argue that they were crazy, but I don't really see something bad about it, it just happened to be that nature was his driving force.

Second Paragraph.
