Was Chris
McCandless’ death a “foolish, pointless, death”? Did he lack “the requisite
humility” to go into the wild?
jj I wouldn't say that his death was foolish, but I can say that it was completely avoidable. If his hunger didn't win out and he focused on what he was eating, he could have survived. Also, he should have studied more on the Alaskan wilderness and its plants and animals more in depth. He did not lack the "requisite humility" to go into the wild because he wanted to find himself, not what society wants to call him but what and who he really is.
I agree with your idea. If he doubled checked the berries then he would be fine. I think he was just so overhungry that if he found anything he would eat it. I think he had a tough time in the wild and should of took a week hike around Georgia instead of going to Alaska.
