What more did you learn about mccandless's relationship with his father? do you think his anger is justified? why or why not?
kap26 [50]

Cristopher Mc Candless had a chaotic childhood,marked by a stormy relation between his parents,with a physically and mentally abusive condition,due to frequent differences throughout his parent´s marriage. He lived in a violent home,where his father beat  and disparaged his mother, a dark reality that Christopher and his sister were forced to conceal.  

His anger might be justified considering the repressed feelings during his childhood and adolescence but the final decision was somehow disproportioned and solved nothing.
