Is it really Gallien's job to save Chris. As they were driving into the woods Gallien tried many times to give Chris things and even offered to take him to town and buy him supplies so that he would have been better outfitted for the job. Chris just didn't seem to grasp the serious nature of the situation he we walking into. Also would calling the cops have done anything? This seems like a legitimate question, he was in a public park and had the right to be there. Could they have arrested him? I don't think so, maybe detained him for 24 hours but he would have found a way back. He was determined to get into the wilderness and neither Gallien or the police would stop him. Furthermore, why should Gallien stop him, he has know the kid for a few hours, he has no emotional investment in Chris. I would bet that within the day he had forgotten about Chris and didn't remember him untill he found out that he had died months later.

I agree, now that I think about it more, calling the poice probably would not have done much in the situation, because Chris wasn't really doing anything wrong.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you pointed out the lack of legitimacy the police would have had if they got involved, they really couldn't have done anything.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, if he would have called the police it wouldn't have made any difference.
