Favorite Famous Quotes in The Novel

Writers Referenced in the Novel and Their Importance to Christopher McCandless

As you read the novel Into the Wild, create a list of well-known writers that Christopher McCandless references or Jon Krakauer references at the beginning of each chapter throughout Chris's journey. Some examples might include Leo Tolstoy, Jack London, etc.  You can use any of the author names after the epigrams at the beginning of the chapters.

You must have at least three authors in your chart or organized list of your choice. Your list should  include the following information:

• The writer’s name

• The books that the author is famous for (google it)

• Favorite line(s) in the quotation by the writer from in Into the Wild with page number from the chapter

• How this author and quotation connects to Christopher McCandless and his outlook on life

• A favorite quotation of yours and why? What might Chris think about your quote? Would he “get it”?  (google inspirational quotations)

• Lastly, when you post your chart  or list on your English blog, add images of the three writers with source information.
