“People choose to put themselves at risk to find happiness. Chris McCandless ended up unintentionally killing himself because his quest was to try to live off Alaska. McCandless felt happiness comes from new experiences.” I loved how Guillebeau added this quest in his book. At first I read this section and pondered at how stupid putting yourself in that situation was. The more I thought about it, all I felt was jealousy. He got to explore, find something he wanted to commit to and all I can think I commit to, is being on a sports team and going to practices. That is the life of about every teen around me. I can’t even begin to think when the last new thing I tried, until Mr. Bowers encouraged my classmates and I too. Even though my quest of photography I’m pursuing isn’t as much of a commitment, I hope to feel some of these achievements as Chris McCandless, even though his quest was high risk.
