"'How is it,' he wonders aloud as he gazes blankly across Chesapeake Bay, 'that a kid with so much compassion could cause his parents so much pain?'" (Krakauer 103-104).
Topic: The Dynamics of Family
In this quote we realize how little Chris McCandless' father truly understood him and what he was going through. All of what Chris was doing was to find himself and find true happiness that he has always wanted. For his father not being able to realize what Chris was doing and why shows that his father only had his selfish views and didn't see the reason behind Chris' death. Yes. He may have died way sooner than he should have. But who are we to say. It is indeed sad that a father lost his son. But if look at the serious of events and how the person who died felt just before death and realize that they are truly happy. Then who are we to judge. Chris' father is absolutely upset and filled with grief, but Chris was happy and accepted what was going to happen. And that is what is truly important.
