Ever since the beginning of the book, I felt that Chris was a tad on the crazy side, but I also felt some respect for what he attempted to do.  At the beginning, when i read some of the things that he did like burning over one hundred dollars or donating well around twenty-four thousand dollars to a charity, i felt that he had lost his mind and was nuts.  But, then i began to think.  Maybe he wasn't crazy but one of very few normal people.  It is quite possible that material things such as money and getting a new car has turned the majority of us into lunatics.  Maybe he was the one who saw the light and could look back and criticize us as being crazy becuase he found hapiness.  But no one will ever know unless they try to do what Chris did.
  I feel that the McCandless family probably felt hurt and many memories came back to them as they revisited the bus.  Billie states that many people said that they admired what Chris did.  She also said that she would agree with them if he did not die.  She wishes to have him back but knows it is irreversable.
