Do you believe that Alexander Supertramp left Jan and Bob Burres for the first time because he began to feel to close to them? Did they remind him of his troubled relationship with his parents too much?

A dialog between Mr. Franz and Christopher McCandless was:
Mr. Franz “Don’t you think you ought to be getting and education? And a job? And making something of this life?”
Alex – “I think careers are a 20th century invention, and I don’t want one?”
Does Chris really feel this way, or is he just afraid that if he tries he might fail?

“Some people feel like they don’t deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.” Is Christopher McCandless running away from his past or starting a new future.

The McCandless family bolted a plaque onto the side of the bus in Alaska when they went to visit it says “Chris, our beloved son and brother, died here during his adventurous travels in search of how he could best realize Gods great gift of life… McCandless family 7/93.” Is the McCandless family right in assuming that his pursuits were of a religious persuasion or have they mis-interpreted what he was looking for? If so what was he looking for?

“You are wrong if you think joy emanates only of principal from human relationships. God had placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience.” (Christopher McCandless) &“Happyness is only real when share.” (Alexander Supertramp) are two quotes that directly contradict one another. The first is signed by Chris and the second by Alex. Does this demonstrate a shift in perspective or is he just being inconsistent?

Was Chris’s journey into the Alaskan Tundra a suicide mission or a pursuit of self actualization?
