1. They started to have a bond like father and son because Ronald is very old, was living on his own, aloneness, and adopted many children because his wife and children died in a car crash on New Year's Eve while Ronald was overseas. When Alex took a ride from Ronald and Ronald saw something different and kinda remarkable . He even taught Alex how to make a leather belt and thought of him as a son. They ended up having a strong bond.

2. "Once Alex made up his mind about something, there was no changing it" In mid-april Westerberg was both shorthanded and very busy, so he asked McCandless to postpone his departure and work a week or two longer but he didnt consider it because when he makes up his mind he doesn't change it again.

"Although a couple of times he mentioned wanting to get married and have a family some day. You could tell he didnt take relationships lightly. He wasnt the kind of guy who would go out and pick up girls just to get laid." i think its true because of this quote and explanation which says "One night a bunch of us went out to a bar in Madison," says Boarch "and it was hard to get him out on the dance floor. But once he was out there, he wouldnt sit down. We had a blast. After alex died and all, Carine told me that as far as she knew, I was one of the only girls he ever went dancing with."

3. Yes, because like would achieve what he wanted and can start a fresh life but it might be hard for him to adjust because he was a person who hate rules and staying somewhere conservative. Maybe im sure just because of what i read about him before.

In chapter five as I think “Plastic People” mean that they would get up in the morning and go home and no fun thing to do/ having any adventure. Its kinda like meaning that people are becomes a robot just to earn money and not live the live full or interestingly. The two things, which were considered as plastic, people doing whatever they were told and trying to fight the time. I would say no because if you wanna lead a healthy good life and have family you have to stick to the society and work.

The traits of Alex have in the book is that is likes being independent and he likes to do everything by himself. When he takes favor from someone he likes to return in by doing something or giving him or her something in return. Gallien helped him out as much as he could because he was unprepared for his epic journey. Alex was from D.C and his family was very rich and he left them and this last communication with his family was he wrote a letter to his parents with his final transcript. Ken Thompson, Gordon Samel and Ferdie Swanson, these where the three hunter who found Alex’s dead body with his note saying that he is injured, weak, near death, and in need of assistance. His epic journey would change everything because of his act and doing something to show people and its kinda like an encouragement. An absurd and onerous duty was meant be he followed his parents but he wanted to do what he felt and his mind was set in going out and discovering his surroundings and mainly getting the feeling of the wildness that’s why he headed he there not knowing anything or not being communicated in anyway. Him saying this heading west he felt freed “from the stifling world of his parents and peers, a world of abstraction and security and material excess” meant a lot which we think its normal and safe but from him it meant no freedom, no nothing. These are the main reason of him leaving everything and just travel and get in the wildness. I don’t agree because its very crazy think to do and insane leaving everything behind. 

How come a wealthy rich guy like him plans to go to the wild, and how was he so ambitious?
