Who is Christopher
McCandless?

Christopher McCandless was born in a

middle-upper class family that cared a
lot about money and material things.

He is an American who has everything

it takes to have a good life

A sucessful job;
A family who supports him; etc

Christopher McCandless

But no.he prefers to choose the fantastic

things that our planet can offer him which
is:
FREEDOM.andHAPPINESS

Because... he could simply get married,

work and live the lie in which his life was
inserted. But for him this doesnt work. He
doesnt want to live a fake life like so many
people around him

Happiness

Christopher McCandless chooses to

enjoy his freedom, and live it He
chooses the hardest way, he wants to
live his own happiness far from
everything, far from the things he had
always despised:
Money and the Material Thingsthe things
human beings depend on and on which
they base their life, without seeing the
world around them

This film is amazingly directed by Sean

Penn, and the soundtrack, by Eddie
Vedder, is amazing, too

Into the wild is a film that Ill never

forgetits a film to record and I
recommend that you see it too.

Into the wild

We become emotional when we see this

film because it makes us think and
reflect that we have such a short life that
money, material things and stupid
arguments dont have the right to stand
in the way of our happiness;

It makes me think, too, that Ive to do

what I like because I have to enjoy my
life with the things that I love and adore.

When Christopher McCandless makes his

happiness ideal come true, in Alaska, and when
he is preparing for his last moment in life he
said:
I have had a happy life and thank the lord.
Goodbye and may god bless you all

So in his last moment he concludes that his life

was
Freeuniquetruthfuland so, he ends in peace!

Why is he a reference to me?

Christopher McCandless is, and will always

be a reference to me; he is a very inspiring
person to meHe fought for his dream. He
went to Alaska where he died on 18 August
1992.
This is very, very important because in life we
have to fight for our dreamsand hedid it
without money and material things, so hes
certainly inspiring and a reference to me
