    Jon Krakauer, born in 1954, was introduced to mountaineering by his father at the young age of eight. Following his graduation from Hampshire College in 1976, Krakauer worked as a carpenter and commercial salmon fisherman to support himself.

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    The idea of a spontaneous adventure can spark the interest of anyone. Jon Krakauer's biography, Into the Wild, explores the life of Christopher McCandless, and his journey to the Alaskan Wilderness ultimately leading to his death. Into the Wild was written partially due to negative responses to an article written by Krakauer before the book about Chris was published. It was also written due to the connection he feels to Chris and his risk taking attitude because of the “unsettling parallels between events in [Chris’s] life and those in [Krakauers] own” (author's notes). Krakauer analyzes Chris’s mental and physical state before and during his time in the Alaskan wilderness, to disprove statements made towards Chris influencing readers that…

    The difference between life and death can be listening to the opinions of friends and family. This is portrayed in Into the Wild, written by Jon Krakauer and Grizzly Man, directed by Werner Herzog. In Walden, written by Henry David Thoreau, he did not die but his time spent at Walden was time wasted. Depending on the situation, it can be vital to take others’ opinions of our actions into consideration when making our own decisions. However, in other situations, the opposite can occur where it is vital to make your own decisions for yourself.…
