Answer to Question #195663 in English for Makaia Hill

Question

What do you think is the most important or impactful quotation from the reading Into The Wild? Why?

Answer 1

"Hey guys! This is the last communication you shall receive from me. I now walk out to live amongst the wild. Take care, it was great knowing you. ALEXANDER.(p.69)"

the above is a letter/postcard that McCandless sends to the people he meets on his journey in the pacific northwest. His formal choice of the word 'shall' and the unintentional phrase ' this is the last communication you receive from me' depicts his emotional state and also naivety of the project he is almost undertaking.
