@Celeste59469451 @lit_lynx Like what happened in his life that made him do this in the first place.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@malachi67303130 @lit_lynx He could have done so many different things to not make the decisions he did in the end and that what made it so sad.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@ZoeLutz5 @lit_lynx Exactly when I first read the book I thought that he was just a rude person but near the end he knew he needed to go back.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@Ileana50679368 @lit_lynx Yeah throughout the whole story he is making connections with random people even if he felt like he didn't need to.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@lit_lynx I like how the author did justice to Chris's story and wrote about what he truly felt. He could have made up things or gone a different route with the story but he stayed to the truth.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@lit_lynx Chris could have done many different things with his life to not end up where he did and he could have made it out of his adventure alive to go see his family again.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@lit_lynx I find it kind of cool how so many people called the police telling them that they knew Alex. Because he met so many people and touched many of them that they called when they heard about it.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@BedfordKinzie @lit_lynx They are like the same person just in different time periods. They had the same background growing up and they both came from successful parents as well.

@lit_lynx With all of these explorers going into the Alaskan wilderness you would think that someone would stop them by now or there would be more people searching.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@BedfordKinzie @lit_lynx Its almost like he did it on purpose, like who forgets to get a return flight.

@daniel48394057 @lit_lynx I found it surprising that there were so many stories similar to his and how they all ended up in the same place. I think the tipping point was they were not feeling fulfilled in their lives and wanted a change.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@lit_lynx I think it is crazy that Rosellini survived for a whole decade out in the wilderness living off the land without any assistance from anybody. What makes him different from all the other people who did this and why did he survive fro that long when many others couldn't.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

That was what I thought when I read through that part too.

[maddie anderson @maddieamlit]

@MadysenDunlop @lit_lynx i think it’s ironic he donated all of his money to end hunger when starvation is what he dies from #sadlyironic

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

I wonder what it must have felt like for that guy that drove Chris into the wilderness?

Maybe he thought that he was smart enough and wanted the whole experience.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@wolvesgonwild @lit_lynx Exactly what was his thought process as he was doing this. Doesn't seem like he thought it through very well.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@Mrsboomsryan @lit_lynx That is what I thought. You would think that he would be smart enough to at least prepare a little bit.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

@lit_lynx Why did Chris suddenly break and go on this great odyssey as he calls it? It could have happened anytime but it happened just after he graduated college.

[Ethan Leinen @EthanLeinen2]

You can go on an adventure without having to go all the way as Chris did. Why did he have to change his name and not tell his family?
