      I loved the book Into the Wild for it is actually based on the main character's actual life. McCandless, the emotionally disturbed individual (at least I thought he was), was quite the modern intellectual I am hoping to become. He and I are very alike, he was a musical genius, playing a variety of instruments. We are both young and intelligent beings. Speaking of our differences, McCandless was very interested in nature, while I am visualizing an artistic future for myself. He and I both share issues with our parental figures, as I adress them, he had taken a different path to really...find himself. Now transitioning into conflicts, I delve deep into his real issues, in fear of I making the same unfortunate mistakes. His main problem, it was hidden, buried within the decieving smile expressed outside. McCandless wanted to escape humanity itself, and discover who he really is. He had taken his conflict, and dragged it cross-country all the way to the isolated, and desolate Alaska wilds. By the time he had planned to exit the area, he had already commited the terminal act of consuming the malevolent and moldy seed, eventually starving and weakened, McCandless breathed for the final time on August 17. I now know not to resort to nature, if I need to get away, which, I don't.
