Chapter 9 Question 37

    Everett Ruess starved to live differently then society just like Chris. They both believed that in order to be truly happy that they must live in nature, away from the governmental life made up by people seeking money and power. Money and power had nothing to do with the way of life that Chris and Everett had wanted to live. Chris and Everett got more satisfaction out of the natural surrounding of the life that was created for us rather than a man made life. Being one with nature was more important to them then being one with another person
    Chris and Everett were also different though. Chris never felt alone. Chris did not mind being alone, infact at times he liked it. Everett on the other hand, had felt very lonely. He states on page 91. "I have gone too far alone." Also Chris did not really care what other people thought of him, in fact he tended to be different then other people sometimes almost like he was making a statement, he was bold and wanted people to know that there was something greater about him, how the nature inspired his life. Everett felt misunderstood by people. He   most likely felt lonely as oppose to Chris because he cared about what other people thought about him.
