What is McCandless' relationship with his family like? How is his relationship with his sister, Carine, different from his relationship with his parents, Walt and Billie?
McCandless' relationship with his family was strained. He did not communicate much with his parents, Walt or Billie, but felt closer to his sister, Carine.
