    Krakauer includes his own experiences in the Alaskan wilderness to draw similarities between himself and Chris McCandless in order to better understand McCandless's motivations and actions. Some key similarities are that both ignored advice, had difficult relationships with their fathers, loved nature, and used nature as an escape. Krakauer uses his own experiences to relate to McCandless and take a more sympathetic view of him, rather than a purely critical one.

    Into the Wild Chapters 14-15

    Objective: Determine why Krakauer includes his own misadventures in Alaska. Identify
    significant similarities between Krakauer and McCandless. Analyze Krakauer’s purpose in
    including certain elements of his story.

    Part 1: Identify significant similarities and differences between Krakauer and McCandless:

    Similar Different

    ● ignored advice from helpful people ● Krakauer ever spent as much time
    ● Had difficult relationships with their outdoors as McCandless
    fathers ● McCandless was more extreme
    ● Both had a love for nature ● McCandless had an entire self-made
    ● Used nature as an escape/time for ideology on nature and living with it
    reflection
    ● Both were young men

    Part 2: Select some of the similarities and differences above, and analyze how they
    contribute to understanding Krakauer’s understanding of McCandless:

    Krakauer’s experience as a young man working through the world and a love for nature
    made him sympathize and relate to McCandless. While other people might have a more
    critical view of McCandless, Krakauer’s personal relation to his story might have
    influenced his writing. The way Krakauer explored mountains is much like how
    McCandlness traveled the U.S.
