Exploring Chris McCandless: Contradictions and Family Dynamics in "Into the Wild"

In the journey through Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild," students are asked to explore the complex character of Chris McCandless. By reading Chapters 15-17, reflecting on contradictory traits, and analyzing family ties, learners will uncover the nuances of Chris's personality and motivations. How do his relationships with family members like Carine, Billie, and Walt shape his decisions? Students must use direct quotes to support their analysis and discuss whether these dynamics drove Chris to seek solitude in the wild or if other factors were at play.
