After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

 After reading the first chapter of the book Christopher McCandless seems very foolish and egotistical. When he is met with someone more knowledgeable about living off the land he rejects his knowledge and offers for help. This to me seems like he was trying to fail because he is also described as smart. Today we red the first chapter of a book that we will be reading for 3 weeks. This helped me get a first impression of a book that we will be reading.
