Personally, I do not want to be his friend because he is so selfish and stubborn that I would not be able to get along with him. Also, as he intends to be isolated from his surroundings, I do not think he and I can make a good relationship. If I am eager to make friends with Chris, it would be an one sided feelings and he would not want to get along with me. So I do not want Chris for a friend of mine.
Personally I think that having Chris as a friend would be an honor to me. He is an independent person who wanted to make his own decissions without caring about what other people think. I believe he is a great example for all the people who despite of what people think they stay still with their ideals. He taughts us that if we have something to believe in, we shouldn't surrender, despite what other would say. Also we can see through the reading that he is a warm, caring person with those people who really care about him so I think that we could be great friends
Personally I think just being his friend must have been an adventure. It must have been really interesting being with him because I think he always had an opinion about everything and if he was the kind of people that everyone liked, there must be a really good reason. But I wouldn't like he being so un attached with the people. If I had him as a friend I would hate that he always disappears without a reason, it would actually hurt me that he didn't trust me to tell me why or where he run away. But also I think he is really stubborn and kind of selfish but other than that he was a good person. He was so convinced about his ideas that he did everything to accomplish them no matter what people thought about it and that is something I envy about him.
Personally, I think that being Chris' friend would be really amazing and really bad at the same time. He is a person who is not afraid of expressing his personal thoughts to any one; even if nobody agrees with him. Also, he is the type of person who clings to his thoughts and is not afraid to do anything to acomplish them. However it would be really difficult to be his friend because he is always runnig away from many things such as his friends. I would disagree with his, in my opinion, coward actions.
I think I would like to be Chris' friend because of the way he feels about material stuff. I believe i could learn from him to live in a way were I don't need many things to be happy and i could appreciate more what the world gives us naturally. Anyway, I also think that Chris is an extremely independent person who probably has a hard time sharing with others, which could make it hard for me to establish a strong relationship with him.
Personally, I wouldn't want to be Chris' friend because he is a very mysterious guy. That way it would be hard to get to really know him and be close friends with him. Additionally, if one gets close enough to be his friend, it would be very stressful to always be worrying about his whereabouts. However, I think it would be nice to meet him. This is because he has lived a lot of different experiences that he can use as conversation. Also, he was a very nice guy, as most of the people he met can corroborate. To sum up, I believe being Chris' friend would be bad and hard to accomplish but it would be nice to meet him and spend some time with him.
I wouldn't be close friends with Chris, but i'd have liked to know him for many different reasons. Firstly, his perspective of life is different as well as inspiring in the way that he's focused on being able to experience all kind of situations that can occur during such an odyssey, he prefers to sense nature and be himself rather than being governed by society's rules. His personality matches quite a lot with mine, so we could have understood each other very well. He's also a friendly person, he likes to share and to be polite. But on the other side, I think sometimes it's hard to be friends with a person that is as stubborn as he is (and as me too) because I care a lot about people.
Absolutely, I think it would be nice to meet him, he was a young man hungry to learn about life and live out his beliefs, so will be an honor to have him as a friend, all the things that he learned during his two years on the road, will help me to discover how I can understand others point of view and how dealing with problems that may seem bigger than me and finally I´ll Love to be Chris friend to know all those people that he knew, because were all special.
I believe that having Chris as a friend would, definitely, bring either advantages or disadvantages. My answer to this question might become, in this way, certainly ambiguous. However, I am inclined to accept McCandless as a friend since he meets many different qualities that make him a person of integrity. This implies that I would have a lot to learn from him. He is an intelligent man, sensible, hard worker, independent, and loyal to his own ideals; but he also appears to be an isolated guy with which I probably wouldn´t count as a friend. Nevertheless, I think I could be able to adapt to Chris´s way of being, and I could make him my friend.
I would not like to make friends with Chris. It is true that making friends with active people like him is going to be a valuable oppotunity and make our viewpoints broaden. However, such friends will always make us worry about whether they are alive or not. In my opinion such people are not friends. It would be difficult for us to get in touch with each other, because he drifts from place to place and no one could know where he is and what he does. After all, I think that I would like to get to know him as an acquaintance not as a friend.
I would actually love to meet him. Chris is the kind of person I like to hang out with. When people read as much as he does, they usually have wide knowdledge about everything and they have very interesting ideas. On the other hand, it is admirable the way he believes in his own ideals. The fact he doesn´t cares what others may think or say about him and his danderous odyssey, it´s very impressing. Also, you can infer from the way some people treat him, he had a great personality; its obvious McCandless had something llamative in his way of treating and talking to people. Finally, I think Chris is the kind of person who woudn´t forget you if you were his friend; as we can read in the book, although he traveled a lot and didn´t comunicate too much, he was on contact with his closest friends as much as posible. It isn´t easily to meet someone as interesting as Chris was, so it would be a great oportunity I wouldn´t miss.
I would like to be Chris' friend. He is a man who understands himself completely and have courage to live in his own way. The knowledge he learned at the college and the experiences he underwent in the nature would give me new viewpoints. It is true that he doesn't stay at just one place and it must be tough to spend most of time with him. However, even though I cannot always be with him, we can still be friends through keeping touch with each other by sending letters or something. It must be exciting interesting to hear his life in that letters.
I think i would be Chris friend because I like the fact that he is in search of a different kind of life than normal people have. For example, nowdays people are more interested in money, jobs, technology, power, however Chris is more into the nature and the adventure. I would be his friend because I like more that kind of people.
For some mysterious reason, my comment it is not here. I remebered had wrote it through the CCTA's wifi, so proabably never worked it out very well. Anyway, I will try to repeat it: I said that could be interesting having Mc Candless as a friend, especially in terms of share thoughts, POV, information, etc. But also, his tendency to be disappeared, and also his constants questions could make him for me a little bit annoying. But actually, I had to recoignize that he is also polite, kind, well-educated and nice person. It is just that probably I wouldn't fell as a two way relationship, just one way (frome me to he).
