THE CONNECTIONS

"I think I was probably a lot like McCandless; just as green, just as eager" (Krakauer 186).

The similarities between people

This quote shows that people knew McCandless and were close to him. He made a lot of connections with people. The impact he had on some showed his adventurous side and how driven he was. I think this is why people were so affected by his death. In the short amount of time he was in Alaska, he made some friends that learned from him.
