The similarities between Chris McCandless and Thoreau are both of them intent to have a simple life, and they want to isolate from the society as well.
However, they are also different in many ways. Thoreau doesn't leave the society absolutely. He just lives near the town, not far from his family home. He works to earn money to build his small cabin. Also, he reveives visitors and returns their visits. On the other hand, the life of McCandless is totally in the wilderness. Although he also works to get the money to Alaska, he burns all of his money after he arrives the Alaska, and he lives in there without any help from other people or "society". Additionally, he lives alone all the time.
