From the Paper:

"Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild" cannot and shouldn't be studied or discussed as a book about this character or that. Though that is how we normally treat and study ordinary literary pieces but it is critical to bear in mind that Into the Wild is not an ordinary piece in any sense. It is a non-fictional commentary on the reasons behind man's fascination with nature, the impact of circumstances on his beliefs and the connection between man and the sudden collapse of his old ideals."
