A letter from Christopher McCandless to Ronald Franz
"...So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure..."
"...Don't settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. You are still going to live a long time, Ron, and it would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience..."
Ok, one thing I notice from reading your posts are that you are jumping around in perspectives. Why third person, then first person? And this post doesn't tie everything together very well...it should relate to the end of the book (Chris's last days--last photograph??)
