ok "Into the Wild" begins with the finding of McCandless's body within an abandoned bus in Alaska. The author Jon Krakuer, retraces the adventures of McCandless during the two years he was missing. Early on in McCandless adventure he changed hi name to Alexander. McCandless planned to hike along the Alaskan coast, but the swampy terrain of the summer was too difficult to hike through. He survived about 112 days in the Alsakan wilderness, living out of an old bus and finding whatever edible roots and berries he could. McCandless also keep a journal, with him. On July 30 McCandless wrote a journal entry that read, "EXTREMELY WEAK. FAULT OF POT. SEED..." Krakuer hypothesized that McCandless had been eating the seeds of wild potatoes, which causes weakness and starvation. Eating these wild potatoes may have caused McCandless death but he also may have just starved to death, we do not know. We do know that McCandless body weighed only 67 pounds when it was found.
