Group E Response

I believe that their journeys had somewhat to do with the love for nature as well as family. McCandless has always been adventerous and doesn't listen to anyone when they get in the way of his ideas or dreams. It doesn't surprise me that he went off on an adventure all by himself despite the dangers of living in the wild. Also, I don't think it is coincedence that he left after he found out about all the lies that his father had kept from him for years. He had a very strong relationship with his sister so it may be confusing why he would leave her, but also money came into play. Remember, he grew up in a household with not much money, but then when his family became successful, they spent there money frivelously and Chris didn't respect that at all. He might have exaggerated his family issues to use as an excuse because he wanted to go on an adventure and this was his excuse out.
