Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild

This is an excerpt from the paper...

The plan of the research will be to set forth a synopsis of Krakauer's account, an expanded version of a story that originally appeared in the periodical Outside, and then to discuss issues questions McCandless's experience raise regarding priorities of life.

Into the Wild can be described as something of a meditation on the cost-benefit analysis of the lure of the wilderness in its various configurations--desert, sea, mountains, snow, forest. Each chapter begins with at least one epigram from any of a number of acknowledged classics of their kind, from Jack London's wilderness adventures to Thoreau's Walden to McCandless's diary.
