  3. Working with our timelines/notes Most biographies are written in chronological order, but Krakauer has organized Into the Wild differently. As you have been reading, you have been taking note of the major events (including dates) and the chapters in which Krakauer records them. Re-examine those notes to become aware of how the story of McCandless’s life unfolds. Choose three significant events in McCandless’s life, identify where in the book Krakauer records the events, think about why he chose to record the events at this point in the book, and reflect on the effect of his decision. • Event and Date Chapter • Why Krakauer May Have Recorded the Event at This Point in the Book • Effect of Recording the Event at This Point in the Book .

  4. Working with our timelines/notes It is clear from the interviews Krakauer conducted with the people who encountered Christopher McCandless that he made a lasting impression on many of them. Create a graphic organizer in any style of your choice showing all the people McCandless met (and knew) and how his life and death influenced them. Be sure to provide evidence from the text, including page numbers.

  5. Working with text • Reread the last paragraph of Chapter 18, noting the figurative language and descriptive or vivid words Krakauer uses. Note the connotations that you associate with these words. Make notes about the effects of these carefully chosen words — what attitude is he communicating about McCandless? What do you think Krakauer wants his readers to think or feel?

  6. Working with text • Reread what Billie McCandless, Chris’s mother, says at the end of the Epilogue. Do you think most of the people who knew Chris would agree? How does her thinking (and others’ experience) contrast with Krakauer’s characterization? Explain. • How would the book differ without the epilogue?

  7. Final Writing • Write a well-reasoned paragraph where you explain how Krakauer developed the character of Chris McCandless. What does he want us to believe about him? Why?
