  1. Aim: To evaluate the validity of an argument through identification and analysis of evidence and appeals. Do Now: Words of the Day I won't claim to be an impartialbiographer. McCandless's strange tale struck a personal note that made a dispassionaterendering of the tragedy impossible. Through most of the book, I have tried--and largely succeeded, I think--to minimize my authorial presence. But let the readers be warned: I interrupt McCandless's story with the 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 enigmaof Chris McCandless.
