“Into the Wild” and analyzing “Civil Disobedience” I realized there’s a connection to Henry david and Chris McCanddles. One because they both have experience living by their own rules. McCandless didn’t want to work for money or have a typical teenager life l so he chose to go into the wild and abide by his rules and doing he survived off of nature and himself, meanwhile Thoreau left the community because he disagreed with what the government did was tell how how we should go about our everyday tasks. But what really caught my attention and made me realize that the most remarkable way their similar was that both of them made an important and big decision to leave there “flustered” environment when they were found out they weren’t able to live the life they wanted and achieve their objective which is to be free.
“All men recognize the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist,the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable. But almost all say that such is not the case now. But such was the case, they think, in the Revolution of’ 75.(4) Henry David Thoreau. For me I believe Thoreau attitude is that people should be allowed to disagree with the government and do what you want. Thoreau also said “I think that it is not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize. This section basically is a reflection of Thoreau thinking that people have a right to supervise the government and help them make the right decision from themselves.
McCandless showed Thoreau’s opinion. When chris car was out of battery, he asked the authorities for help. But then he thought to himself the question he would have to answer. Such as “why had he ignored posted regulations and driven down in the first place? Was he aware that the vehicle’s regulation had expired two years before and had not been renewed? Did he know that the drivers ‘s license had also expired, and the vehicle’s uninsured as well Jon Krakauer’s (28),Chris didn’t want to face the authorities or these questions because it will crash what he stood for, which was his freedom. Chris also felt as it was a process of doubt, the “stupid” policies and, Chris got tired of peple like his family trying to live these rules because it wasn’t him.

Thoreau refused to pay taxes and that caused him prison time and he also chose to live in a quiet retreat for protest the government power and policies. McCandless abandoned his car as Krakauer’s says to prevent getting his journey into to wild ruin by the authorities. I believe now that their are very protective of their personal values and freedom.
