Compare and contrast Chris McCandless’ actions and writings with any of the Transcendentalist writers (Emerson or Thoreau or any writer mentioned in Into the Wild.)

Chris is leading from Henry David Thoreau. He rejected the everyday world of the material society and lived a simple life in the forest. Like Thoreau, Chris wants to 'live on purpose' and squeeze out 'bone marrow' from life. I will go to Alaska and Chris will follow Thoreau. "My soul depends entirely on my Alaska Odyssey ... Chapter 12 starts with the following quotation.

"Tell me the truth, not money, not money, I am sitting on a table with a lot of food and wine on the table.The participating people are very casual, Both the truth and the truth are not that bad board, hospitality is as cold as ice. "

This is Chris' Thoreau, imitating his romantic Thoreau. I do not believe that Chris is controlled like Thoreau. Thoreau has a practical tendency, but Chris is romantic. I also do not understand that Chris is far from experiencing Solow's survival in Alaska's wild. Thoreau had tourists, but he built a simple hut and brought food. Chris alone was hungry for rusty school buses.

Personal simplicity seldom becomes the cornerstone of literary works. However, in the transcendental movement of the 1930s and 1840s, transcendental writers such as Emerson and Thoreau often discussed and explained personal simplicity in their work. Likewise, Krakauer explained his theme of personal simplicity while recording and analyzing Christopher McCandless's transcendent journey in his novel "Into the Wild". In the novel "Into the Wild", through the reflection of Christopher McCandless' s adventure to Alaska and a trip to Alaska, we demonstrate the transcendental characteristics with personal simplicity.

Chris McCandleys believes in transcendence, as evidenced by his thoughts, thoughts, and actions. He was strongly influenced by Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson who quoted him many times in his diary. Both Thoreau and Emerson are transcendentalists, and Chris is trying to emulate their ideal lifestyle. The basic principle of transcendentalism is to pursue the truth through nature communication and our own discovery. McCandless likes to be alone with nature as he witnessed him on an adventure in Alaska and on his previous trip.

Many people question whether Chris McCandless is a "real" transcendent, and what Emerson and Thoreau think about him. One of the main differences between Chris and his idol is that Emerson and Thoren did not see the need to travel abroad to escape society. In fact, they rarely deviate, spending most of their lives in Massachusetts. Thoreau's "wooden hut" in Walden is just a few miles from the town. Emerson wrote about the spiritual achievement of living near the house and knowing your own evidence.
