Answer 1

Chris McCandless abandoned his canoe in the wilderness as depicted in Jon Krakauer's biography, 'Into the Wild', which aligns with his life of solitary exploration in nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Jon Krakauer's biography of Chris McCandless, Into the Wild, McCandless used a canoe to explore the waterways of Mexico before finally abandoning it in the wilderness. McCandless's story is a profound exploration of human behavior in solitude, similiar to the other works of solitary exploration like those by Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and the accounts of the Corps of Discovery.

His choice of solitary life and the subsequent events leading to his demise in the Alaskan wild has been a subject for analysis in understanding solitary human behavior and the harsh realities of wilderness survival.
