our English class we will start to read a new book called
Into the Wild. It was the true story of a boy named Christopher
McCandless. Deep in the Alaskan wilderness, he was found on an abandoned bus.

what happened to Christopher. He retraced Christopher’s steps from his home
town in Annandale, Virginia threw western United States, into Alaska. Christopher
graduated in 1990 but it took him two years to make his way across the States
and Canada. Finally in 1992, he started making his way into the Alaskan trail
called Stampede Trail. Only having 10 pounds of rice, a .22 caliber rifle, several
boxes of riffle rounds, a camera and some books for some reading material,
