Into the Wild

Do you think this is true?

Krakauer quotes one of McCandless's friends, who said that McCandless "was born into the wrong century. He was looking for more adventure and freedom than today's society gives people" (174). Do you think this is true?

I think a lot of people would be well suited to live in previous centuries. People's interests, desire for adventure, and willingness to test themselves make them the perfect candidates to live in another time. I do, of course, also believe..... that they likely wouldn't last very long.
