Since times immemorial, man has always been an adventurer and in the endless urge to explore the world. In this regard, many people abandon their luxurious live and families to explore the world. The film “into the wild” is one of the most well-designed films, which depicts the lives of different characters who abandoned their luxurious lives and moved into the deserts to find solutions to their problems. Based on this story, many characters have died miserably in their adventures and never solved their problems. More importantly, this film shows the generosity and kindness of many characters to the rest of the world while depriving their own lives. Regarding this, this work will show a comparison between Chris Mac candles and Sam Patch who have explicitly shown a desire to explore the world (Krakauer 1997, 109). Based on the story ‘into the wild’, Chris Mac candles was a member of a happy modern family from Washington DC. On the other hand, Chris was a simple gentleman who was never a psychopath and was dominated by obstinate idealism. More so, Chris was a graduate of Emory University who was generally a very intelligent gentleman. In addition, he was an athlete and used to undergo an unaccompanied expedition into the wild.

This can be evident from an instance where he sacrificed money intended for his education by giving it to a relief fund. It can be argued that Chris gained more pleasure being poor than when having money as his days were more exhilarating when he was destitute and had to scavenge for his next meal (Krakauer 1997, 109). Throughout his teenage life, Chris was a very humble person who was very hardworking in all his undertakings. Further, Chris was very excellent in his academic work and as a result, attained attractive grades in all subjects. Additionally, he was very innovative and business-oriented; where in this case he conducted several businesses in school which yielded good profits. From the story, it can be depicted that, Chris was very considerate about the poor in the society; as can be seen in this case where he advocated for alleviation of hunger and gave much of his savings to help the poor. Importantly, Chris was much respected among his peers and very trusted in all his endeavors since none of his undertakings failed. From the words of Eric, Chris used the spiritual aspects in motivating his peers.
