Christopher McCandless

society wants most people to have careers, especially business ones. . I ask you again: who is this "society" that wants people to do certain things? As far as I know, the definition of "society" is all the people altogether. I mean, every person is part of society (regional, na...

Thanks for opening this thread. As reported in the book, Chris had left two notes. One was a goodbye note and the other an SOS note.

Interesting theory, but wouldn't Chris have mentioned such a thing in whatever way in his notes?

How could you know that he did not search for such a place? Perhaps he did. At least we know from his notes published in the book that he did not return to the bus on the very next day.
