Into Thin Air Themes
"Mortality had remained a conveniently hypothetical concept, an idea to ponder in the abstract. Sooner or later the divestiture of such a privileged
innocence was inevitable, but when it finally happened the shock was magnified by the sheer superfluity of the carnage"
This is the most important quote because in the book Krakauer realizes his mortality and the others around him. The mortality is a common

The reason why the turning point is important is because this is where Krakauer starts to develop his themes and idea on mortality. The fact that

and dies. The strange part about it is that the Taiwanese leader after Chen's death got over
