<h2>What new perspective on Chris McCandless does his sister, Carine, provide?</h2>Little Sister
Author Jon Krakauer has told us several times throughout
Into the Wild that Chris McCandless and his sister Carine
were very close. In Chapter 13, Krakauer tells us that the two
siblings looked enough alike that they were often asked if
they were twins.
We also learn that Carine, like Chris, ''is energetic and self-
assured, a high achiever, quick to state an opinion.'' The two
also share in common the fact that they both fought bitterly
with their parents as adolescents. Despite these similarities,
Carine and Chris were also vastly different from one
another.
Carine, unlike Chris, repaired her relationship with her
parents. She appears to have been able to forgive and move
on where Chris could not. Carine's lifestyle is also not in
keeping with Chris's minimal, anti-capitalist approach.
Carine and her husband own an auto repair shop and hope
to make their first million at an early age. ''I was always
getting on Mom and Dad's case because they worked all the
time and were never around,'' Carine reflects with irony, ''and
now look at me: I'm doing the same thing.'' Indeed, Chris
used to tease Carine for her capitalist ideals, but it was
always a friendly sort of banter.
Saved By a Dog?
In the previous chapter, Krakauer told us about Carine's dog
Buckley, Carine's Shetland sheepdog whom Chris adored.
We learn in Chapter 13 that Chris had wanted to take the
dog with him on his post-college trip across the country. At
that point, however, Buckley was recovering from being hit
by a car. He was in pretty bad shape and the veterinarian
was doubtful he would be able to walk again.
Because of the vet's diagnosis, Chris's parents said he
couldn't take the dog with him. They later tortured
themselves on this decision, Carine tells us, saying they
''can't help wondering. . . how things might have turned out
different if Chris had taken Buck with him.'' Carine further
explains, ''Chris didn't think twice about risking his own life,
but he never would have put Buckley in any kind of danger.''
Could the dog have saved Chris's life? We'll never know.
<h2>Does this new information change your opinion of Chris McCandless in any way?</h2><h2>Why or why not</h2>O n May 2, Jon Krakauer came out with
his latest treatise on the particulars of
Chris McCandless’ death almost 24
years ago. McCandless was the young man
who wandered into the Alaska wilds with a
.22-caliber rifle and a 10-pound bag of rice
and lived there for more than 100 days,
hunting and foraging, before he died at age 24
inside an abandoned bus. His journey was
made famous in Krakauer’s 1996 book, Into the
Wild , which Sean Penn adapted as a film in
2007.
How exactly McCandless died has been debated
since his story first surfaced. Krakauer first
wrote about McCandless in a 1993 article for
Outside , and he has been trying to nail down
the precise details of McCandless’ decline ever
since—asserting himself in online comment
threads, testing his hypotheses in science labs,
and writing periodic feature-length revisions
of his theories.
“The debate over what killed Chris
McCandless, and the related question of
whether he is worthy of admiration, has been
smoldering and occasionally flaring for more
than two decades now,” Krakauer wrote in
the lead to his latest article, posted on
Medium. (A version of the article is also
included as an afterword in the newest
edition of Into the Wild .) If you’ve been
following Krakauer’s work—he outlined his
fifth theory in an
article published last spring on
NewYorker.com
—you’ll see that the new piece is more an
overview of his research from the past two
decades than a new proposition.
