Into the Wild Ch.2&3

Chapter 2 focuses on facts about Chris's end, and chapter 3 focuses on the beginning of Chris's "oddyssey"... Why does Krakauer tell the reader the end before the beginning? What effect does knowing the end have on the reader? In your opinion, is it effective?

Explain what you think the purpose of the excerpts at the beginning of each chapter are all about...

What is your opinion of why Chris changed his name to Alexander Supertramp? What is the significance of the name and the name change?

I love reading your comments! Keep it up!
