The book into the wild?

Question

What is one of the important events that happened in the book

Answer 1

I thought that, like the person above me, the main character eating wild potato seeds and dying because he thought that they were wild peas was an important event.

Others included:

- When Christopher McCandless's body is found in the bus and identified
- When Christopher McCandless disappeared after graduating from college with only a note left for his parents, because it sets everything else in motion and is an important plot point
- When Gallien gives Chris a ride into Alaska, because it is a pivotal plot point and transitions between the time that the main character has Alaska as a goal and the time that he actually makes it to Alaska and begins to live there. Gallien's remembrances also come into play after the main character has been found dead.

Answer 2

The main character dies from eating potato seeds.
