My thoughts of Chris have changed!

When I began this novel I believed he was just this character who believed he was "Superman" (i.e. Supertramp). He was naive and felt he was invincible and had no respect for anyone. With the methods that Krakauer uses by constantly praising Chris and showing him to be this well educated young man that honestly thought he could survive the Wild. He was able to make many short term relationships with people along the way and touched the lives of many. If I would have never read this book and listened to Krakauer's side of the story my thought may have never changed so his methods were EXTREMELY effective.
