We must get up out of our couches and enjoy an adventurous life

 Textual evidence:
"If you want to get more out of life, Ron, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty" (Krakauer 57).

Topic: Inspiration or fool?

Analysis
         In today's world with all the technology you could imagine, many people are deciding to just sit down in their couch like a recluse. A life like this is definitely not worth living. Everyone only lives one life, so no one should spend that precious moment being a couch potato. Many Americans spend most of their lives indoors and not outdoors where the beautiful nature exists. This definitely needs to be changed. God has created a beautiful world for us to live in and all we are doing is ignoring his generosity.  We must all step outside and explore nature. Look around at all the beautiful things nature provides. At first this may seem crazy, but eventually you will understand the actual meaning of living and the true beauty of life. Chris McCandless understands this issue and wants everyone to adventure outdoors and experience the true life. In my opinion, Chris' thoughts and ideas are very inspirational to me. Most people rely on the social construction in America. They follow society and do things the way everyone does. Chris on the other hand wants to avoid society and simply enjoy nature. I agree with Chris. I believe that we all need to spend more time outside and admire the outdoors. We don't need to go to the extremes like Chris did, but we definitely need to show more appreciation to the actual world, which is nature, rather than our concealed homes. Everyone is gifted with one life, so they should all make the most of it.
