The other day I saw a film. What is this film called, well “Into The Wild” based on the book by Jon Krakauer. The book is about Christopher McCandles. Christopher was a bright one lad with a lot a head of him however, his childhood was troubled, due to a abusive father and secretive parents.
Christopher decided one day to give up his trust fund and go tramping, across America. On his travels he meets many people including fellow trampers and a leather maker. Touch there hearts as he lives with them. For those of you tramping is when you pack up with the essentials and live with what you have.
Why? Christopher was searching. Searching for what? Happiness, which lead him to Alaska. And after spending 9 weeks in Alaska, he got poisoned by Wild Sweet Pea. However what he was searching for he found in his traveling, “Happiness is real, only when share”.
So this got me thinking, about what I want out of life…yes I know I am only 16 and I am not dreaming. I WANT TO LIVE. I WANT TO SEE THE WORLD. this is my dream, being a super tramp. Christopher Johnson McCandles you are my hero, and I will learn from your mistakes. You are SUPERTRAMP!
