Question

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

Answer 1

The most important quote from “Into the Wild” is “Roman, Andrew, and I stay up well past midnight, trying to make sense of McCandless’s life and death, yet his essence remains slippery, vague, elusive.” ---into the Wild, 186. It is an important quotation because it represents one of the significant themes of the book that it is impossible to ever really know another person’s story, what drives them and how they end up where they do.
