Chris was quite something. He was very genuine and sincere in his love for nature and he wishes for peace and happiness. He was not perfect--he could get very angry and upset at times. While at the beginning of his journey I thought that he was sane, I'm not so sure more towards the end of the book. As a reader I see his mind deteriorating as he goes on his journey. It was not necessarily a bad thing, but I do not believe that he was of a right mind when he died. If he was sane he would have come to the conclusion that he could focus his efforts on something that would help others and through that he could find spiritual awakening. I feel that his character at the beginning of the book would have done this, yet the effects of a few mistakes he made slowly, but surely wore on his mind. He was not a worse, or less amazing person at the end of the book--the sincere and caring thoughts were still there, he just could not realize what he really had to do.
