Jon Krakauer
Jon Krakauer wrote a 9,000 word article based on Chris McCandless for Outside Magazine in January 1993 titled "Death of an Innocent". Jon soon became fascinated by McCandless and wanted to retrace his footsteps from after college to the place of his death. Jon is an experienced mountain climber and adventurer which is why he became so fascinated in McCandless. He has written other books such as "Into Thin Air" which was his personal experience climbing the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. McCandless interested Krakauer so much because Krakauer wanted to show how difficult it is to live off the land and that the slightest details can lead to your death.

The ending of the last sentence sounds a bit confusing. Good job at explaining why Krakauer is fascinated with Chris Mccandless. Don't use the authors first name, use his last. Overall good job bringing outside information.
