Do not assume

‘Post’ Title: Do not assume.

"I’d thought he’d be fine in the end…he was smart. He’d figured out how to paddle a canoe down to Mexico, how to hope freight trains, how to score a bed at inner-city missions. He figured all of that out on his own, and I felt sure he’d figure out Alaska, too" (Krakauer 44).

Here, it could be said that the man talk about Chris McCandless though Chris was intelligent enough to make this forest trip out alive. The man heard all of Chris's stories and from Chris's impressive experiences with nature, the man thought is was okay for Chris to make this horrible decision to go into the forest unprepared. This man is a fool, because even though he though Alex was experienced enough to make it out alive, he should have still made a better effort to stop Chris from making such a horrible decision to walk into the forest with no experience and little to no supplies. Chris had never been to Alaska either so the man could not have just assumed Chris would figure Alaska out problem free, and he should have helped Chris, or should have tried harder to convince him to not go into the forest.
