Which of the following quotes from the novel identifies what Chris McCandless considers “plastic”? I. A gifted French-horn player, as a teen he was a member of the American
University Symphony but quit, according to Walter, after objecting to the
rules imposed by a high school band teacher.
II. The summer between his sophomore and junior years Chris again returned
to Annandale and took a job delivering pizzas for Domino’s. “He didn’t
care that it wasn’t a cool thing to do,” days Carine. “He made a pile of
money.”
III. After an extended argument Burres also got McCandless to accept some
long underwear and other warm clothing she thought he’d need in Alaska.
“He eventually took it to shut me up,” she laughs, “but the day after he left I
found most of it in the van. He’d pulled it out of his pack when we weren’t
looking and hid it under the seat.”
