"I can't believe they'd try and buy me a car (...) a car that has in all those thousands of miles not given me a single problem, a car that i will never trade in, (...) I'm going to have to be real careful not to accept any gifts from them in the future because they will think they have bought my respect" krakauer 21.
This is the quote where it demonstrate Chris's frustration with materialistic gifts such as the car that was given to him by his parents. It also demonstrates Chris's values of being self-made and not relying on anyone to do anything for him. I think that was one of the main reasons he went into the wild to begin with, because he wanted to prove to himself that he could do this on his own and prove that he was a selfmade man.
