  3. self-denial drives Chris to do many things. He is not really looking to do or become anything. All he wants to do is live life peacefully. It leads him to not accepting any help. He moves so he won't get too caught up in society and its rules. Gving his money to charity to help stop poverty.

  9. Chris has self denial because he's not trying to get help and maybe if he gets help he will go back home and work things out with his parents.

  10. Allright I think that it's a major part of his life because he eventually dies because of It. Maby he feals that he can support himself fine on his own that others deserve thoes things that he doesn't need, or atleast says he doesn't need
