The Krakauer-McCandless Connection Krakauer saw a lot of connections between Chris and himself from their interests, to their world views, to their family lives. “I identify with him a lot, and it's a sad story. I went back to the bus for the third time last September. I've become quite good friends with his family, we have sort of this weird bond” (Random House). [Movie Interview]: Why and how Krakauer wrote the book

A look Into the Wild [Outside link] Recovered photos from McCandless’ camera [Outside article] A treasure trove of unpublished letters and never seen photos offers a fresh perspective on the adventures of Christopher McCandless

Essential Questions Heroes often embody the qualities of a culture. Examine McCandless as a possible hero. What evidence is there that he’s a hero to Americans? What qualities does he have that represent our own culture and what we value? In what ways do the ideas of the transcendentalists resonate in modern America?

Essential Questions In life, what is most important: friends, family, or self? Are families, friends, or community essential to our happiness in any way? Can a person be completely content in solitude or without the acceptance of society? Which of these is most central to our happiness? What does it mean to be successful?

Essential Questions How do we construct our own identities? What is the relationship between nature and the identity of Americans? In what other ways do we form our identities? What is your identity? What is your purpose? What is McCandless’s? What can you learn about your own purpose from examining his?
