After reading John Krakauer's article, my view on Chistopher ,going in the wild in order to find answers for what he believes and for his dreams, is both optimistic and pessimistic. Also, I found out that Christopher,himself felt somewhat regretful for what he did by reading his journal writings while he was exploring the wild changed from a good point to a sad and dissappointing point. I think he is somewhat a foolish guy to risk his life to find the life he wants to search.
I also have a feeling that Christopher is indeed an idealist because he lived and did for what he believes in. We can tell he is such an idealist that he just donated all his college fund which his parents raised for the law school to the Famine Relief fund without notifying anyone. Also,he has no attachment to some materials. For example, we can see Christopher left his car when it broke down and burned his last $160 cash.
I see Christopher is a bit different from normal man from reading the article. In the article, the boss, when Christopher was working as an elevator told that Christopher was a really intelligent guy but he thinks too much. Christopher thinks in the way that few people does. I also feel that sometimes, his manners and thoughts are strange. For instance, he just carried 10 pounds rice, and the hunting cases and some events in the wild.
More,I see that Christopher was happy to be in the wild at first, but , his feelings gradually changed as the time goes by and when he faced some difficulties. I can tell by reading Christopher's lines from the postcards to the boss saying that his days were so exciting when he was penniless and the feeling changed to some undesirable words like lonely,scared,starving ,so weak and much trouble to stand up in his journals. I understand that these manners and feelings are the nature of humans but Christopher kept going for what he wanted to be finished.
All in all, I feel that Christopher has done what he wanted to do till the end even though he risked his life by starving in the wood. He wrote"I had have a happy life. thank the loard ,Goodbye and may God bless all" and took a photo of himself.
