Other adventures.
The way I see it, there's only so much you can write about Chris. With these other stories we are able to get a fresh account of a similar adventure, and that allows us to apply perhaps a new perspective to Chris' story. I found myself having a new understanding for Chris' adventure after reading about some of these other people, primarily because some of them came across to me as less reckless, more intuitive, or even just more interesting. This allowed me to appreciate parts of Chris I otherwise never even saw. These other stories help bring the whole theme of the book more into focus.

I agree that the stories helped see Chris's story in a new light. They all had different motives and had different personalities but they all found something interesting about the wild that I never would have thought about before.
ReplyDeleteI agree too these stories did help me see Chris and his motivates for why he did what he did, but after reading these stories I keep thinking to myself... what was so special about Chris? He obviously wasn't the only wilderness seeker who had a tragic ending?
