Movie Analysis There are many connections, in many different aspects relating The Perks Of Being A Wallflower to Into The Wild. Both of these, though only one being a true story will really make an impact on the reader or watcher I think.

Their rough childhoods I think are what led them to be extraordinary people, who even in dark situations made the most of life, and handled things in their own ways. They both saw the realness, the dirt, the hate, and the pain of the world, and they both wanted to escape society as it was and uncover happiness and the realness of life, and the good that they knew was hiding somewhere being found in the friends they made along the way.
