Krakauer states in his writing, "Like McCandless, figures of male authority aroused in me a confusing medley of corked fury and hunger to please. If something captured my undisciplined imagination, I pursued it with a zeal bordering on obsession, and from the age of seventeen until my late twenties that something was mountain climbing"(p.134).
Five Similarities
1. They both had a bad relationship with their fathers.
2. They both followed their dreams and journeyed to Alaska.
3. They both went on their journey alone.
4. They both lived simply and without technology.
5. They both climbed mountains at one point in their journey.
Five Differences
1. I feel that Krakauer planned out his journey more that Chris did.(p.140)
2. Krakauer realizes that his father was only strict to look out for him and prepare his son to become successful. Chris never realizes that about his father.
3. Krakauer informed many people about his plan to climb the Devil's Thumb. Chris didn't really inform people about his plan.
4. The obvious fact that Krakauer makes it out of his journey alive. Unfortunately, Chris does not make it out of the wild alive.
5. Krakauer paid someone to fly him supplies on his journey. Chris did not rely on anyone for anything on his journey.
