What page is it when Ron Franz asked Chris McCandless to be his grandson?

The exact page number is going to be tough for me to give you.  I do not know which edition of the book that you are looking at, and the page numbers of different editions will be slightly different.  I can get you really close though.  I am looking at a PDF version of the book, and it says that the quote that you are looking for is on page 39.

The exact page number is going to be tough for me to give you.  I do not know which edition of the book that you are looking at, and the page numbers of different editions will be slightly different.  I can get you really close though.  I am looking at a PDF version of the book, and it says that the quote that you are looking for is on page 39.  


Regardless of page number, the quote is in chapter six.  About two thirds of the way through that chapter, Chris McCandless writes a very long letter to Ronald Franz.  In the letter, McCandless encourages Franz to take up a wandering lifestyle.  If you find that section of the chapter, the grandson quote is four paragraphs before it.  The paragraph ends with the word "grandson."

Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his...

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...

What are some literary devices in Macbeth, Act V, Scene 1?

Act V, Scene i of Macbeth certainly continues the imagery that is prevalent in the play with its phantasmagoric realm, as in this scene a succession of things are seen or imagined by Lady Macbeth. Imagery - The representation of sensory experience Lady Macbeth imagines that she sees bloody spots (visual imagery) on the stairs; she also smells blood (olfactory imagery): Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not...
