McCandless set out to live independently in the wilderness, but his death reveals the harsh reality of nature and survival. In your blog post, analyze how his desire for independence contributed to his death. Then, connect this idea to your own life by explaining a time when you wanted complete independence or control over a situation. Did things go as planned, or did you face unexpected challenges?

 Chris's denial of help was a leading factor in his death. By denying the help that was offered to him, he put himself in an unadvantageous situation, and in his case, taking those risks while going into such a dangerous environment led to his death. I once denied my parents' help with schoolwork for a semester because I thought I could do it by myself, but I ended up failing my first-ever class. This showed that my desire for independence contradicted my desire for academic success. Today we finished watching the movie, which helped me understand Chris's story more and prepared me for our test.
