Chris and Davo have similar ideals with obvious differences in their reasoning and conclusions. The two stories were much the same in their ideas and aspirations with obvious differences scattered throughout the film and short story. Their dreams came about by factors that affected their lives, leading to their intentions for their future and their lifestyle. They each then had a method of action and a way of carrying out their dream which lead to incidents that affected them. Finally both of the character’s dreams came to an end in completely different ways, yet still held a similar concept for their ending.

However it is at this point in their stories where they take different turns. Christopher follows through with his plan in travelling to Alaska alone, however he faces many issues such as the lack of food supplies resulting in his excessive weight loss. The issue that finally ended his story was his mistake in eating the wrong berries, efficiently poisoning him which lead to his death. Davo does not face such a devastating fate, he does however return to his small town and deals with the situation. He, unlike Christopher, chooses to return to reality and face his issues as he chooses (not to get into all of that stuff). The two characters do share a common ending, however, in relation to them coming to face reality. In the moment that Christopher is forced to remain in Alaska he begins to feel the heavy burden of loneliness and no longer feels the joy of being so independent. In his moments of death it is almost as though he regrets no being able to return home to his family. Davo, in a similar way to Chris, faces his issue of being alone when leaving to progress his dream. Davo and Biggie stumble across a women whom Biggie gets along with. Davo from that moment on, begins to feel the loss of his dependence on Biggie and the troubled reality that he will not have Biggie forever. The two characters both come to realise, in different ways, that their dreams are unrealistic …show more content…
Both of the characters begin with common intentions, however they were not identical due to their backgrounds. The advance Chris and Davo both take to leaving the place in which they don’t belong is common, as they then split off on their own path. Their endings simply rely on how each character follows their ambitions and risk everything for the sake of an attempt at happiness, however both stories each end in their own
Daniels past best friend Chris had a tragic death. After this, daniel became hesitant towards making new friends as he thought he would lose them again. This death changed his life majorly, he slowly had fewer friends because he thought the closer he became to them and the more he relied on them he would lose them, He then met eddy who changed his life forever. Even when eddy is dead Daniel kept his emotions and lessons learnt from eddy to use in life, this he did. He used everything eddy said and it helped him through life. Eddy's death made daniel feel happy and sad. Happy because she had died the way she meant to “ Nothing except I felt like she'd died the way she was meant to. No sirens. N needles and tubes. No watching her fade away.” (pg 191) It also made him feel lonely, his best friend in the world had just died “I felt stranded and lost. Alone in the world, it was a feeling that scorched a path in my mind back to the time when Chris had died." Eddy's death made daniel more appreciative of the people around him. He also became very positive and trusting. He knew he could face life on his own, he knew he was independent but also knew when to ask for help, he knew he could find someone else like eddy. “I wasn't alone. I'd never be alone, eddy had taught me that. Alone is a state of mind." Due to the deaths of eddy and Chris daniels identity has changed for the good from lessons in
... almost nothing alike from a superficial aspect. The stories have different historical contexts and they simply don’t have much in common to the average audience. It is easy to contrast the stories, but deep within certain elements, the stories can be linked in several ways.
Nearing the end of the journey and the start of Chris McCandless’s time in the Alaskan Bush, Chris meets a man named Gaylord Stuckey. Gaylord was driving up to Fairbanks, Alaska for business when he met Chris McCandless and allowed him to hitch a ride along with him. During their time on the trip, Stuckey mentions Chris, “wanted to do this since he was a little kid, he wanted to prove to himself that he could make it on his own, without anyone else's help" (159). His goal is to not prepare and survive; to prove that anything is possible and the hardest person to convince is himself. He believes this is the final duty until he will convince himself and the world that life can be simple and beautiful. After leaving Wayne Westerberg to go to seek out his lifelong dream, he sent a letter to him. Wayne cared deeply about Chris and is one of the few to trade letters with McCandless throughout the novel. The letter reads, “This is the last you shall hear from me Wayne…If this adventure proves fatal and you don’t ever hear from me again I want you to know you’re a great man. I now walk into the wild" (69). McCandless’s risky behavior makes those around him care more about life and what they own. Because Chris believed so deeply that life should be lived simply and that nature is beautiful, he goes to the extreme to prove to those he influenced along the way that he can
How can two people who are so different have so many similarities? In the Story The Outsiders by S.E Hinton the characters Dally and Johnny are very much like this. They both have similar home lives but very different personalities. But both care for each other, and treat each other like brothers. But one is a hoodlum and the other is a hero. They both have abusive and neglective parents. Dally and Johnny are very similar characters, as well as different.
“One can only speculate about why Franz became so attached to McCandless so quickly, but the affection he felt was genuine, intense, and unalloyed (pg.57).” Chris was a simple boy, one who valued his thoughts and ideas, he was simply unbothered by any obstacles he had, but instead inspired. “Franz placed his furniture and most of his possessions in a storage locker, bought a GMC duravan…moved out of his apartment and set up camp on the Bajada (pg. 58).” Franz being an old man and someone who lost his family found comfort in a boy such as Chris. Chris was free and uninfluenced by the normal, which intrigued Franz. One important distinction between both Franz and Chris’s journeys were that Chris was too far up in the clouds to foreshadow the future and Franz was just an old man that Chris had an impact on. Chris sought freedom and rebelliousness and he paid the price for that, while Franz became moved by Chris’s thoughts of living

All the stories were very similar, in that they all end the same way. The message, in my opinion, that Atwood was attempting to tell was that there are many different ways to the end. The ideal route to the end that we all wish it is to "have a stimulating and challenging sex life and worthwhile friends... have hobbies which [we] find stimulating and challenging." and eventually die happy and together with the one we love and cherish the most. Most of us know that the odds of this ever happening are very slim, plus when telling a story this version has the potential to be quiet boring. Therefore Atwood analysis life and creates different variations that are presented to you which made you wonder, "What if...", and therefore gives you the reader, the opportunity to look at your life and ask yourself that same question.
Is it possible for two vastly different characters to share common qualities? In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, Johnny and Dally, prove that this is, in fact, possible.

How can two people who are very different share similarities? Dally and Johnny, two greasers from S. E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders, have distinct differences as well as similarities. They are similar because they both know what it is like to have abusive and neglectful parents. Also, they both care about each other in similar ways.
