From chapter 8-9 ,the author described some people who had done the same situation like Chris do. people like Rosellini,Waterman ,.McCunn and Everett Ruess had adventures in their own way.Though they might have the similar situation for their adventure, Chris is not totally like them- not just a seeker,not mentally ill.and not go to the bush. He has his own style of doing in his own way for what he wants to find.
Mostly, chapter 9 tells about the background history of Ruess.One interesting thing is that in the story, Ruess adopted a series of names,which have their particular meaning in particular languages. So, I consider one thing after reading about Russe and about his changing names. Does name relate with our life in some part? is it part of expressing our personality and the identity? For me, I accept that our name can identify us,who we are, what we are,but I do no think that name relates with our personality and people change names to fit into their personality.The reason I consider like this is that the naming method in my country is totally different from most of the other countries. We do not have family name or first /middle names. If you are given one particular name,it is yours. May be because of that, I have no attachment and attention on the names. In the case of McCandless ,he called himself Alex is the resonable changing because he did not want anyone to find out where he is and what he is doing and who he is.For Russe, he changed his name alot with repect to the other people's thinking about his name but he and McCandless are admirable for trying to follow their dreams that many cannot do like them.
