A tough blog

Before reading "Into the Wild" I watched the motion in which the book was made into. Seeing the movie has made it difficult for me to really get into this book because I already know what happens. A few things have changed, but the names and places are all the exact same. I am a little less then a week into the  book and I am only sixty pages in. To some people that may seem like a lot, but to me, a dedicated reader, that is not very impressive. The book is very well written. And the Author tells a tragic story without being bias. However, unlike the movie it is not a necessarily a narrative. The author tells of his interviews from first person which is a disappointing twist. Of course there really isn't any other way to truly depict the journey of Alex Supertramp, otherwise known as Chris McCandless in a former life. It's hard to write about each of his journeys without giving away the whole story! But his journeys are inspiring to say the least. Alex meets people that the average person normally stays away from, and he takes everything away from that person that is possible. He learns and studies and passes on what he has learn in a way that is not at all arrogant. Every person he met on the road he left a part of himself with. Whether they were rubber tramps or eighty year old men with nothing left to their name, he brought a smile bright enough to mask a cloudy day. Well Ladies and Gentelmen that is the word on the streets! Fresh Money out
