  • Thoreau As an Oblique Mirror: Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 47:1 (2015), pp. 40-60. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). Thoreau as an Oblique Mirror: Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild José Sánchez Vera Karlstad University Abstract: In his nonfiction biography of Christopher McCandless, Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer uses a plethora of references to Henry D. Thoreau. In this article I analyze Krakauer’s use of Thoreau’s economic ideas, liberalism, and view of nature and wil- derness. I argue that Krakauer blurs a pragmatic understanding of Thoreau and uses techniques of fiction to create an appealing story and characterize McCandless as a latter-day Thoreauvian transcendentalist. By doing so, Krakauer explains and de- fends the protagonist’s actions from criticism, thereby making him appear as a char- acter whose story is exceptional. Although the characterization of the protagonist as a follower of Thoreauvian ideals by means of a partial interpretation of Thoreau does not provide us with a better understanding of McCandless’s life, Krakauer’s extensive research and the critical self-reflection in the text produces a compelling nonfiction narrative. Moreover, the romantic image of Thoreau advanced by Krakauer reflects the preoccupations and issues that concerned Krakauer, or at least his times. Particu- larly, it reflects Krakauer’s own ideas concerning the negative effects of materialism on both ourselves and the natural world. Key words: Jon Krakauer, Henry David Thoreau, Into the Wild, nonfiction, nature, transcendentalism Into the Wild is Jon Krakauer’s nonfiction biography of Christopher Mc- Candless, a talented college graduate who inexplicably leaves his family, his friends, and all the comforts of civilization in search of ultimate free- dom, a nobler form of life closer to nature and divorced from the extreme materialism of American society.

  • The Chris Mccandless Obsession Problem
    The Chris McCandless Obsession Problem Diana Saverin, Outside Magazine, December 18, 2013 On the isolated shore of the Savage River, in the backcountry of interior Alaska, there‘s a small memorial to a deceased woman named Claire Ackermann. A pile of rocks sits on a metal plaque with an inscription that reads, in part: ―To stay put is to exist; to travel is to live.‖ Three years ago, Ackermann, 29, and her boyfriend, Etienne Gros, 27, tried to cross the Teklanika River, a couple of miles west from the Savage. They tied themselves to a rope that somebody had run from one bank to the other, to aid such attempts. The Teklanika is powerful in summertime, and about halfway across they lost their footing. The rope dipped into the water, and Ackermann and Gros, still tied on, were pulled under by its weight. Gros grabbed a knife, cut himself loose, and swam to shore. He waded back out to try and rescue Ackermann, but it was too late—she had already drowned. He cut her loose and swam with her body 300 yards downstream, where he dragged her to land on the river‘s far shore. His attempts at CPR were useless. Ackermann, who was from Switzerland, and Gros, a Frenchman, had been hiking the Stampede Trail, a route made famous by Christopher McCandless, who walked it in April 1992. Many people now know about McCandless and how the 24-year-old idealist bailed out of his middle- class suburban life, donated his $24,000 in savings to charity, and embarked on a two-year hitchhiking odyssey that led him to Alaska and the deserted Fairbanks City Transit bus number 142, which still sits, busted and rusting, 20 miles down the Stampede Trail.

  • Into the Wild​ and Transcendentalism
    Into the Wild and Transcendentalism ​ C. Cangemi [email protected] AP English Language & Composition Unit Overview This lesson sequence is designed for Advanced Placement English Language & Composition students; however, it can be easily modified for any 11th or 12th grade English class. While students will gain significant knowledge of Transcendental ideas and thorough knowledge of the myriad literary works that inspired Chris McCandless, the protagonist in Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, a major focus in this lesson ​ ​ sequence is for students to hone comprehension skills through intense and repeated close readings of challenging texts (the types of texts that can be found on the AP exam). There are 10 lessons included here, attached to 10 (out of 18) various chapters in Into the Wild. This ​ ​ particular lesson plan begins after a thorough introduction to Into the Wild and a classroom reading of ​ Chapter 1. Each lesson will run for at least one 48-minute period, but flexibility is important because some of these lessons can go two or even three days depending on the discussion that is generated by the students. The unit will focus on the following threads: ● “Living in Nature” ● “Examining Desperate and Deliberate Lives” ● “Practicing Simplicity” ● “Choosing Life with Principle” ​ ​ ● “Relationships” It’s important for students to pay attention and track these threads because their final assessment requires them to write about one of them. Most of these threads will be introduced with a reading from Henry David Thoreau. However, an introduction to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Transcendentalism will be presented with the third lesson. Essential/Framing Questions 1.

  • Within “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau and “The Death of An
    Transcendentalism: Ethereal Experience or Tragic Naiveté? Within “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau and “The Death of an Innocent by Jon Krakauer, the individual’s search for isolation and a transcendental experience is illustrated with drastically different results. While both Thoreau and McCandless are indeed idealistic, Thoreau walked away from Walden Pond, McCandless did not. Your assignment is to analyze the similarities and differences of their transcendental experiences. Use: Thoreau’s “Walden” on page 205 of your texts. Krakauer’s “The Death of an Innocent” from Outside magazine (see below) Venn Diagram Outside Magazine January 1993 Death of an Innocent How Christopher McCandless lost his way in the wilds By Jon Krakauer James Gallien had driven five miles out of Fairbanks when he spotted the hitchhiker standing in the snow beside the road, thumb raised high, shivering in the gray Alaskan dawn. A rifle protruded from the young man's pack, but he looked friendly enough; a hitchhiker with a Remington semiautomatic isn't the sort of thing that gives motorists pause in the 49th state. Gallien steered his four-by-four onto the shoulder and told him to climb in. The hitchhiker introduced himself as Alex. "Alex?" Gallien responded, fishing for a last name. "Just Alex," the young man replied, pointedly rejecting the bait. He explained that he wanted a ride as far as the edge of Denali National Park, where he intended to walk deep into the bush and "live off the land for a few months." Alex's backpack appeared to weigh only 25 or 30 pounds, which struck Gallien, an accomplished outdoorsman, as an improbably light load for a three-month sojourn in the backcountry, especially so early in the spring.

  • Sample Synthesis Paper 1
    G1 NG English 1301 Dr. Piercy Synthesis 2006 Surviving Civilization: Three Searches for a Serene Life Jon Krakauer’s “Into the Wild” and Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man are the stories of two men searching for happiness and purpose in life. Similar to one another “Into the Wild” and Grizzly Man follow the paths and choices of the men on their journey into the wilderness of Alaska. Traveling two separate paths, their lives would soon lead to the same place and eventually come to an abrupt halt. Lao-Tzu’s famous short book of Chinese mystical philosophy, the Tao-te Ching, tries to exemplify a better way of living. Through its presentation of ideas and the thoughts behind them, it lays the groundwork for perfect living. In searching for methods leading toward a serene lifestyle the Tao-te Ching, “Into the Wild,” and Grizzly Man display similarities in their characters’ disregard for danger and in their methods of altering reality; nevertheless, Lao-Tzu’s Tao-te Ching would differ in McCandless and Treadwell’s view of gaining independence from civilization: Lao-Tzu does not advocate just abandoning society. A blatant disregard for danger was one of the major elements to the linkage between the main characters in the Tao-te Ching, “In the Wild,” and Grizzly Man. To Lao-Tzu, McCandless, and Treadwell nature simply held liberating and harmonious attributes. In true reality, the three men never fully took into regard the danger it contained. For example, in the Tao-te Ching, Lao- Tzu claims that our safety can be guaranteed in virtually any situation once we have gained the wisdom to disregard what we found to be fearful (26).
