My Escape Into the Wild

                I think that I would like to try going into the wild for a period of time. It would be nice to escape from civilization to be by yourself for a little. Even thought that Chris and the others mentioned in the book may have suffered a bit, I think their adventures were well worth it. My reasoning for this is because what they did was their dream and all they were doing was making it a reality. They took the saying “follow your dream” to a whole new level and I personally respect them for it. I would like to try a wilderness retreat because I think I would be able to survive for a little while and if it turned out that I was unable, then I would just go back to civilization unlike Chris did. If I were going into the wild I would most likely choose a place that was warmer then Alaska. It would be easier to survive in that type of environment where there would be more animals and plants to eat and you wouldn't have to worry about freezing to death. One thing that I would be escaping from would be the crowded civilization. It would be nice to get away from everybody. After a while I would miss human companionship. It might get boring after a while without human interaction.  Another thing I would be escaping and would not miss is all the crime caused by people. Although I would love to go into the wild and just be by myself, I would eventually have to go back to civilization. I would miss other people too much.
