Into The Wild question 3

When the news surfaces to the outside world about Chris McCandless death, his parents, friends, and sister are all most disturbed. Being such a good student growing up and aspiring athlete his parents let Chris do as he pleased. He didn't party or focus too much on his social life, but he did focus on contributing. The love and passion he had for adrenalin and adventure ruled his life. Straight out of High School Chris immediately embarked on his journey through the Alaskan "bush". Contrarily things took a turn for the worst when his life came to an end when fate decided to feed him poisonous sweet peas. No one could identify Chris in the area his body was located, but when the news reached his parents they knew it was their son Chris. Instead of becoming bitter and filled with grief they honored Chris. " After Chris had been identified, Carine and their oldest half brother, Sam, flew to Fairbanks to bring home his ashes and those few possessions..." being a family they honored Chris and had him cremated. All his father could think was " how is it, that a kid with so much compassion could cause his parents so much pain?" Although sadness arose, there was zero grief. Finally Chris' mother was the most obvious in her sorrows. "... She breaks down from time to time, weeping as only a mother who has outlived a child can weep, betraying a sense of loss so huge and irreparable..." Being a mother you'll always be most upset if you out live your own child, but the series of unfortunate events to occur lead to a very misfortune loss, but Chris lives on through story after story.
