Chapter 1: The Postcard
In the beginning of chapter one, titles "The Alaska Interior," there is a small paragraph in italics. It is a postcard written by a man named Alex, received by Wayne Westerberg. It is Alex writing to Wayne to tell him about his trip, which may prove to be fatal, in the Alaska wilderness. I'm pretty sure it doesn't end in his favor.
Chapter 2: Jack London is King
The beginning of chapter two also has a small, italic paragraph. This one, however, is a message carved into a wood plank; an excerpt from Jack London's "White Fang" describing a sinister, dark forrest. Chris McCandless supposedly carved it, as it was found right next to where he died. The place it was found and the story behind it matches what the carving illustrates.
