"Why does everyone think that Gallien (the man who gave Chris a ride) in Into the Wild, opted to not call the police after Chris left his car? Gallien said, "I figured he'd be OK," but why would anyone think this considering where Chris was going with little to no supplies? State your opinion."

I think that Gallien opted not to call the police after Chris left his car because he wasn't too worried about him. Gallien offered Chris supplies multiple times but Chris always offered back a good reason why he didn't need them. He thought he would call it quits once he found out how rough the wild really was. I think another reason Gallien didn't really care about reporting Chris is because he'd seen so many people think that they could conquer the wild, he was just sort of annoyed that Chris seemed to be just another one of them.
