Into The Wild
By: Jon Krakauer
    "Into The Wild" is an extraordinary true-life novel/movie of the life of Chris McCandless, or otherwise known as "Alexander Supertramp." Throughout this novel, author Jon Krakauer shares the amazing things McCandless did on his two-year wilderness hike from 1990-1992. McCandless ran into many different obstacles, and had to make extremely hard decisions, mostly decisions that dealt with life-or death. I believe this novel would show many teens out there that they don't need everything they have in life. McCandless went 2 years without having to deal with technology and many things teens couldn't go 5 minutes without. But, he stayed strong and kept on living this way of life, eating raw vegetables, hunting, and living outdoors. This was all a choice to this man, and he gratefully chose this choice.
