Collegeboy: What books focus on an individual who would get everything from his parents and wants to start a new life?
I’m writing an essay for english in how Chris McCandless (Into The Wild) got everything from his parents but yet he sets out for a trip and seems to want to build a trip. Part of the assignment is to bring in another book that has the same mentality or the same topic as this. I was wondering if anyone knew any books that deal with an individual building a new life after he/she gets everything from his parents growing up.

The legend of Sir Percival, one of the knights of the round table, is one of the earliest versions of this type of bildungsroman. Percival is the son of a wealthy family, but leaves everything to become a knight.
