Just know that...

This is the last you shall hear from me Wayne…If this adventure proves fatal and you don’t ever hear from me again I want you to know you’re a great man. I now walk into the wild"(Krakauer 69). Is Alex really an inspiration or is he just a fool who seeks attention? What kind of person would drop everything he has to go on an extremely dangerous trip into the abyss?  Alex would, he did it to break free completely from his corrupt and mean parents. He loved his sister but the severity of his parents was just too much for him to handle. He was all grown up and was living a life of his owns except for that fact that whatever he did something would remind him of his parents. He believed the only plausible way to get away would be to drop everything and get in touch with the wild. He did not do it in hopes of dying or hopes that it would be a fun trip. He did it for a simple reason, to break free that his parents had set up him from when we was just a kid. He is truly an inspiration for everyone to learn that you can change things, its just not always easy.
