Don't try to be someone you're not
"You don't need to worry about me.I have a college education. I'm not destitute. I'm living like this by choice."(Krakauer51)
Topic:Inspiration or fool
I think in this situation Alex is a fool. Alex thinks that he's the man just because he got a good education. Alex seems very confident in what he's doing and thinks that his life choices are only his and that they don't have and really bad affects on his life. Alex says he's living like this by choice, but this doesn't mean that he's living the right way. This correlates to my other blog and how he clearly wasn't prepared to go out into the wilderness by himself. Clearly he set himself up for failure in the beginning. That's why he died at the end.
