I believe that Chris took the chances that he took because he carried an excitement for adventure, he had an addiction to fear. Chris wanted to live out the life style of transcendentalism. Thoreau and Emerson inspired him to live out the ways that they theorized about. As for his family, I think he was able to leave his family behind because he knew that they would never accept him. He was aware that they did not know who he really was so maybe he was convinced that they would never miss him. I do not understand how he was able to leave his sister unless he thought that it would better her situation. I know that I would never be able to leave any of my brothers or sisters unless I knew that it would be for their better. But in Chris' case I can not think of any reasons why leaving his little sister would better her.
If I was Chris' parents, I think I would be able to understand what Chris did for the most part. He was angry at them for scolding him about his first trip and telling him to never do anything like that again, so of course, he might have gone on the trip in spite of them. And I'm sure they understood because of the fact of how much they told him they were worried about him when he left on his first trip, they understoond why he didn't keep in contact for a little while, but I would not understand why he didn't keep in contact for about two years. That I would not understand ever, and I'm sure neither would anyone's parents.
If I was Carine, I would not beg Chris to stay. I would understand his reasoning to leaving and I would accept the fact that he was leaving. I would tell him that I did not care if he kept in contact with the family, but he would have to keep in contact with me, weekly, or even daily if possible. I would also tell him that if he was in any danger and he needed help, that he could call me and I would do my best of ability to help him. I would tell him that I love him, that I have always accepted him and I always will. Fully.
