Assignment # 7: Chapter 3, Question 1

From what I have read thus far of Into the Wild, this quote in many ways applies to Chris' life.  Chris wanted to express himself by moving away from his family and the place where he was raised.  He craved a change. Chris thought that the only way to achieve that excitement and love he thrived for must be to move into the wild and create a whole new personage for himself.  He wanted to sacrifice everything, including his family, friends, a great sum of money, and a fabulous education, for his love. This quote speaks to me in a sense because it states that you have to sacrifice yourself for your love. I have always believed that everyone should follow their dreams no matter what. With this information, Chris McCandless did exactly what that quote procalimed one should do for their love.
