Chapter 2 Question 1

       I think Jon Krakauer's idea to start the book at the end is clever, because as much as the ending is spoiling the rest of the story, telling you that he dies, as the story is told backwards, you learn much more about the character and how he got to where he was. It helps with most likely the way that he wanted to develop Chris McCandles as a dynamic character. The only thing that I do not like about the book starting in the middle, is in some of the chapters, it'll start off in the most random spot, and I have no idea what the point of that information in the book is until I get to the middle of the chapter. This bothers me because I lose interest in the book when I do not know what is going around. Yes I would consider writing a book this way to spark more interest. Sometimes knowing the end is the best part and then you can piece together the story as your going, kind of like a mystery.
