Topic: Dynamics of Family
"The hardest part...is simply not just having him around anymore. I spent a lot of time with Chris, perhaps more than with any of my other kids. I really liked his company even though he fustrated us so often." said Walt (Krakauer 104) . This quote really showed to me how his parents were to him. It makes me question why he would have wanted to go alone in the wilderness leaving all of his family. Also I wouldn't know what goes on inside of the household because there is so much a family can keep secret that noboy knows about. This just makes me more curious and the motives of Chris McCandless adn what he was planning on accomplishing. It also makes me curious as to if Walt was lying and why he would be lying. I am not positive but I think I remember in the TED Talk by Chris's sister she had mentioned an abusive relationship with parents, I am wondering if the dad hinted at that with the last line of the quote "even though he frustrated us so often".
