	Into the Wild - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer is a best-selling non-fiction book about the life and the death of Christopher McCandless.
		Into the Wild is the story of Christopher McCandless who attended Emory University, one of America's best schools.
		After graduating from Emory, McCandless gave away his savings of $24,000 to OXFAM and disappeared, eventually abandoning his car and burning all of his money in the desert, only to be found two years later by moose hunters, dead in the Alaskan wilderness.

		This is a poignant, compelling narrative of an intelligent, intense, and idealistic young man, Chris McCandless, who cut off all ties to his upper middle class family, and reinvented himself as Alexander Supertramp, a drifter living out of a backpack, eking out a marginal existence as he wandered throughout the United States.
		The story is nicely cut up, leaving the fatal incidents until the end of the book, while interspesing the narative with tales of various other daventurers who have thrown themselves into the wild.
		Whilst I found 'Into the Wild' equally well written (Jon Krakauer has a likeable writing style) I felt there was actually very little to write about with the subject in this book, and as a result I ended up skipping large tracts of it.

	The Wild
		The digitally animated The Wild is an undemanding and unremarkable effort like Madagascar, which beat it to the screen with a similar theme.
		The Wild follows Samson the lion (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) as he escapes from the zoo to rescue his cub who has stowed away on a ship bound for Africa.
		What's truly wild, and sad, about The Wild is that Disney, once the icon of animated originality, has been reduced to releasing this retread.

		There is little suspense (in the traditional sense of the word) in Krakauer's Into the Wild, as anyone who reads the synopsis or picks up the book instantly learns that it is the story of a young man, Chris McCandless, who ventures into the Alaskan Wilderness and who never gets out.
		However, I was unprepared for the depths of emotion felt in reading Into the Wild - it literally kept me up at nights, not just reading but thinking about the book in the dark.
		I was moved by his plight regardless of his possible foolishness in venturing into Denali, and the final scenes involving Chris' family were emotionally devastating.

	The Wild (2006) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		If you think that "The Wild " is a rip-off of "Madagascar " you are right.
		After the sad ending of the traditional animation studio of Disney, they decided to put all the efforts in movies made by computer.
		But they didn't learn nothing.What is more, they steal elements of other movies (from Dreamworks and Pixar) without any kind of imagination or originality...There is some witty parts in "The Wild " (like the scene of the toy of the koala) but almost all the time the humor is forced and uninspiring.

		No man with any of the juices of boyhood in him has forgotten those dreams." Into the Wild shows that McCandless, while extreme, was hardly unique; the author makes the hermit into one of us, something McCandless himself could never pull off.
