Alone in Alaska

Hitchhiker = a person who walks on the side of the road hoping someone will stop and take him in his car.

To shiver = to tremble because of the cold

Cheerfully = happily

Dawn = morning

This is the story of Alex: he is 24, he is from South Dakota and he wants to go to Denali National Park to walk in the bush and live into the wild. In Alaska, near Fairbanks, the weather is cold and gray and it’s snowing. After Alex meets Jim Gallien, Jim offers help to Alex but he refuses it because Alex wants to live into the wild with nothing. He doesn’t need anything.

Alex accepts the sandwiches Gallien’s wife offers him…

At the end of the passage, Gallien takes a picture of Alex, it’s a strange idea from Alex. To finish, Alex walks away in the snow…
