Into The Wild #3

5 Things I Understand


  1. The news of Chris' death finally arrived to his parents but first police had to sort through countless numbers of useless tips to find useful ones from the people that helped Chris on his journey.

  2. Chris' parents were absolutely torn that there son was dead.

  3. Chris' parents admit to the fact that there was always high tension in the household due to things like divorce threats.

  4. Chris gets his love of nature from his grandfather Loren.

  5. Chris was a fan of volunteering at homeless shelters and spoke against racism and social injustice.

4 Questions I Have



  1. Did Chris' disappearance bring his family closer together?

  2. What was it that caused Chris to want to leave his old life behind was it his love for nature that he got from his grandfather or the high tension his parents created?

  3. Chris had such a set life: he was a straight A student, had alot of money, and basically had his future set infront of him. What was it about nature that made hime leave all that behind?

  4. Would Chris still have went on his Alaskan adventure if he knew how much sorrow he put all his loved ones through or even if he just knew what would happen to him?
