Into the Wild – Timeline of Events

Directions: It is easy to trace Chris’s story in chronological order, but author Jon Krakauer does not tell it in order. Each time you see a date, add a brief entry describing the date’s significance. When you have completed the novel, you will have organized the story in correct time. This timeline and character chart will be due the day of your Into the Wild test.
