3. Struck Gallien as a nutcase (5)
4. Alex pulled our a crude map (5)
5. He had no ax (5)

Summary
So far, Alex seems to be a very adventurous guy, always wanting to be moving around and not staying in one place for to long. He seems to enjoy the help from all of the people he has met. If I were to see McCandless on the side of the rode, I probably wouldn't pick him up because I wouldn't want to pick up a stranger I didn't know. Sfter he read the books by Jack London, I think he wanted to live out the adventures he had read about. At some points or Chris's jounery, I think he is a nutcase for actually doing all those things, but I know that he was being safe and getting the help from other people really brought up his energy because they were all supportive of what he was doing at that time.
