Chris McCandless and Mr.Fox like to do things their way and they have something inside of them driving them to be adventurous, like an animal. Chris does not like to do things that people tell him. Mr. Fox does this as well; there were countless times in the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox when Mr. Fox did what he wanted and ignored other's advice. When people try to boss Chris around, he leaves and doesn't come back. These two characters' similarities are what contributes to their adventurous spirit.
Chris had a passion for everything he did, his personality drove him to do things no one else would ever think about doing. Chris always went overboard on things, if he was interested in something he would go all out and do it. In the book Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer Chris's dad said "Chris was a high achiever in almost everything that caught his fancy"(109). This is what lead Chris to the edge where there was no turning back. He wanted to go into Alaska and live off the land with very little supplies, alone, in the wild. He was not scared because he thought he could overcome any obstacle, like he did in the past. "Chris was fearless even when he was little"(Krakauer 109). Chris's adventurous spirit came from his fearlessness, his narcissistic personality, and his unwillingness stop when he was in over his head.
Like Chris, Mr. Fox does what he wants and has an animal inside of him that drives adventure. In the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox Mr. Fox asked his wife what she thought they should do in a given situation. His wife gave an answer and immediately Mr. Fox responded with a different idea. It was like he had already made up his mind before he even asked his wife. This happened multiple times throughout the movie. Mr.Fox stole chickens for a living before his son was born. He promised his wife that he would never steal a chicken again, but twelve fox-years later, he was back in the game. Mr. Fox couldn't give up stealing chickens, his passion for it would not let him. His excuse was that he had an animal inside of him, and he did, the animal was adventurism.
Chris and Mr. Fox have something on the inside that drives their behavior. Neither of them like to take orders from others and they will only do things their way. Chris will leave if anyone trys to help him and that gives him opportunities for adventure. Mr. Fox askes people for their opinions, but in reality he has his mind made up before hand. Both Chris and Mr. Fox have an animal inside of them that drives their adventures. Chris's animal is his selfishness and narcissim while Mr. Fox's animal is his passion for the hunt.
