To live life doing everything on purpose knowing and took well thought of, one's own

3. Discussion:
I wont claim to be an impartial biographer. McCandlesss strange tale struck a personal
note that made a dispassionate rendering of the tragedy impossible. Through most of the
book, I have triedand largely succeeded, I thinkto minimize my authorial presence. But
let the reader be warned: I interrupt McCandlesss story with fragments of a narrative drawn
from my own youth. I do so in the hope that my experiences will throw some oblique light on
the enigma of Chris McCandless. [From Authors Note]

Why is Chris McCandless an enigma? How do Krakauers personal mountaineering


experiences affect the story? Do you agree with his decision to not be an impartial
biographer?
I believe Chris was such an enigma because he was just a curious person tired of modern
original society and what others expect and what is considered great
To show possible motives to McCandless doings and to bring more understanding
I agree somewhat on Krakauer's decision to not to be an impartial biographer because his
thoughts can change the reader's perspective to something counter to McCandless actions
ot thinkings , wanting a more cut to the chance and fact biography
4. Words in Context :

more vital than it was before by his innocence and problems leading to his death and
bringing pain and lost to ones who loved him
