Into the wild

Well... to tell the truth I don't really know if I like this book yet or not. It's really weird. Like, who does something like that? It's so random. And there are so many different opinions about it... I don't know, I suppose I kinda understand why he did it and what not but...it's so weird! Chris seems kinda arrogant too so that's kind of annoying. The writing style is just...It's ok. I don't have it or love it. It's kind of boring. I think it was kinda innevitable, what happened to him.
I'd say arrogant like I said above, just because like... he always has to have everything his own way and yeah I understand that he doesn't want to be a conformist or anything and that he should be allowed to make his own choices but that only goes so far. You can be independent and have your own opinions and still listen to the suggestions and warnings and comments of other people.
Like I said before, it's kind of trying to show that you don't need to be like everyone else. You don't have to work at McDonalds. Kind of the whole "I'm my own person" type of thing.
Well... Just like him I'd like to think that I'm not a conformist. I don't do everything everyone else does just because everyone else is doing it so, I suppose we're similar in that way. Even though I guess everyone kind of thinks that to some degree.
Heh... all of my answers are being applied to the one before... Well anyways, I think it's basically talking about the need to be cool and accepted in society these days. And that crap is everywhere over everything and I think it's kind of fair to assume that it's a word wide problem. Then you have your "outcasts" and your "rebels"... I guess catcher in the rye does kind of apply to this.
