INTO THE WILD

Into the wild can interest in the way that it focuses on providing a look on individual self exploring. Finding ourselves in a the way of knowing what we want for our sake, looking for what interest us. As in finding a passion for life and what is in it, For Christopher Johnson was a young guy from the suburbs who couldn't identify himself with his own class. Maybe a bit selfish in my opinion, as he came from a well to do family, probably his family did strive and worked hard for him to have a better life which he couldn't identify with. Yes he reached a good education level yet if we think about it how good did that work out. He did not help the people around him or even himself. He left everything behind to explore and see if he could find something else for himself.

I suppose I see it from this point, myself coming from a background of having to work hard to gain everything for my family and myself. And yet it intrigues me how a well to do guy from a good family just leaves everything its as if not everything was enough for Chris.  Possibly this self discovery or journey to find himself is nothing more than low self esteem, derived from a bad childhood growing up in a certain type of environment or some trauma built up and kept bottled up from childhood in his household with his family.

Yet He had this passion to just give up his entire life to be something he wasn’t from the start He wanted to venture and be some one else as he made this persona of some sort of world traveller, free spirited without a care in the world.  With even coming up with a fake name for himself “Alexander Supertramp”,  seems like he was passionate bout searching for a new life or exploring himself in some sort of way as he began to speak up about things he wanted  and was very arrogant about himself, arrogant in the way that he seemed to think he was right and knew it all. Yet at to what cost did that get him to as he caused his own death.
