The Wild Adventure of Into the Wild

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, is about Chris McCandless who goes into the Alaskan wilderness and tried to survive. He ends up having to to hitch hike to Alaska and barely has anything to bring with him. When he declines the offer from a friend to buy him better supplies to endure the cold, he only has 10 pounds of rice, a rifle, several boxes of rifle rounds, a camera, and a small selection of reading material. with these very few supplies he survives 119 days until he eats a poisonous plant and dies in August in an abandoned bus in Alaska. I am very excited to read this book because I have seen a little bit of the movie and would love to see how the book and movie match up.
