Into The Wild, Pt. II

Coming nearer to the end of the book, I'm starting to like the main character Alex. He just wants to be nearer to the wilderness, and wants to be more in touch with the environment. So far, he has come in contact with many people along the road who have similar views. He meets drifters driving along the highway, and hitchikes with many people who all have stories to recount about him when later interviewed. One man even went so far as to say that he asked Alex if he could adopt him. It was clear that Alex made connections with everyone that he came across. He stayed in touch with two drifters that he hitchiked with to get to Alaska. He also kept a semi-permanent residence in Ohio, where he held a job working on a lumber company. He was constantly entertaining the people of the town with his stories.
