Paper Summary:

A comparison and contrast of two men's search for personal meaning and identity in the midst of a society that fails to relate to their own unique sense of self and their values. The paper examines Jon Krakauer's tale of Christopher McCandless' journey into the Alaskan bush, "Into The Wild," and Eric Liu's tale of assimilation as an Asian American in "The Accidental Asian."

From the Paper:

"In "Into The Wild" and "The Accidental Asian" authors Jon Krakauer and Eric Liu respectively provide us with stories of young men in search of an alternative to contemporary society. In "Into The Wild" Jon Krakauer provides an account of the journey into the wilderness of a young man named Christopher McCandless. McCandless is a graduate of Emory College who after graduation abandons all material possessions and hitchhikes his way to Alaska."
