Krakauer feel short on his research when it came to the reason why Chris actually die. I will defend him by saying that this is hard to do research on because no one will really ever know what happened out there besides Chris. According to discussion in class on Tuesday it wasnt mold on the potato seeds that killed Chris, and apparently Krakauer knew of this by the time he was publishing his book. So this seems like Krakauer was letting his personal opinion of Chris affect the actual truth of the situation.

I would agree that when it came to the death of McCandless Krakauer lacked some crucial ideas. But throughout the book I believe that Krakauer used good information. Towards the end of the book Krakauer became more and more biased however. He seemed to use all of his pieces of evidence to paint Chris in a better light. I believe that his research was pretty good throughout the book, it was his analysis of this information that lost credibility.
