"In a letter delineating his quarrels with Walt and Billie, Chris once wrote to her, "Anyway, I like to talk to you about this because you are the only person in the world who could possibly understand what I'm saying" (Krakauer 128).
This quote shows family dynamics. Chris is writing this letter his sister, the one person he actually talks to--his parents are not in his life according to Chris. The dynamics of this quote is showing how Chris has grown into a self-reliant man and as the years passed on he became more isolated and cold toward his family. I think he only talks to his sister because she is his real sister... not one of his half-brothers. His sister would understand because she has grown up with the same two parents her whole life with Chris.
