another connection

A connection between the book Holes and the film Jackass:
In the book Holes, Standley runs away to the desert with no water or food, he is risking his physical capabilities and its a stupid thing to do.
That is exactly what people in Jackass would do, they risk their physical capabilities. Throughout the serials (and the films), Jackass protagonists do stupid things knowing that the human body is not made for such extreme risks.
Example: A guy from Jackass runs an a really thin piece of wood wearing nothing but some underwear, at his left and on his right there is fire, the objective is to run without falling, on top of that there are people throwing balls at him. Eventually he falls into the fire with 3rd degree burns. THAT IS JUST STUPID.

Standley in the book Holes as mentioned above similarly when he ran into the desert nearly died of dehydration (luckily here as it was fiction, he finds an oasis and gets rescued). In reality, the probability of finding an oasis is super rare, and he would have also most probably ended in hospital.

MY BEST CONNECTIONS.

A connection about the book Kurt Cobain and Holes. 2 people want to find a treasure. I Holes Stanley tries to find the family treasure and Kurt Cobain tries to find the treasure of being famous. And  they both did find there treasure.
