18	->'''Kate''': "Hello. Um...I'm like 90% sure this is on. Hi. I'm Kate, and this is my first journal update. I'm in a place that I don't know anyone. Competing in a contest, I have no business being in where the very best I can dare to wish is coming in a second place, and that's if fire falls from Heaven and a star lights my path. It's a photography contest and, I don't even know how to use a real camera. So yeah. If I haven't mentioned it already, my name is Kate. Smile!"

21	!! Tropes for The Wild Life include:
22
23	* AmIRight: Chelsea said this trope in the fourth part after she said that people could use the money back home or for a new outfit.
24	-->'''Chelsea''': "Am I right, ladies?"
25	* AnAesop: For each story part.
26	** Session 2: When you're tempted to quit, keep going. If you quit, you might miss something amazing like beating the best photographer in the game.
27	** Session 3: The Lord is with you through the worst of it.
28	** Session 4: Sometimes life takes a bad turn. The absolute worst will happen. Try not to let it steal your joy, because our hope isn't in contests or money or, or even our best friends. Our hope is in the one who is dead and lives again. Our hope is in the resurrection of Jesus.
29	** Session 5: Living the Wild Life isn't easy. But it sure is worth it. Follow Jesus and never let go!
30	* AnimalLover: Gus is the one who likes making friends with animals and naming them (eg. Kevin the Giraffe, Froggy the Frog). He even has a stuffed zebra named Rutzee.
31	* CantCatchUp: When Joe gives all the photography kids and teenagers a challenge in the second part to go find their cameras and take a picture of a purple-striped elephant, Kate gets left behind where she ends up in the dark woods.
32	* ConfettiDrop: Done in the fifth part when Chelsea won the Ultimate Kid Photographer Challenge.
33	* CoolBike: Boone likes to ride bikes, especially during the photography challenge.
34	* CoolOldLady: Kate's sweet grandma Gigi.
35	* CoveredInMud: During the fourth part, both Chelsea and Gus got covered with mud as they ended up in a deep deep puddle or pond of mud while trying to take a photo of the peregrine falcon. Gus was so tired from catching up with Chelsea like crazy.
36	--> '''Joe''': "Gus, did you get the photo?"
37	--> '''Gus''': "No. Followed Chelsea. Thorns...mud...sleep now. Tell Roxy that I survived."
38	* DemotedToExtra: It depends to be Chelsea, Gus, Rosalyn, Boone and Anatoly that may be in this direction as the film's focus is mostly on Kate. Anatoly was no where seen in the third part as he got out of the game and into the observation deck at the end of the second part. Chelsea was [[AscendedExtra given some extra focus in the fifth part]] as she and Kate challenge together to try to win on the final day.
39	* DisappearedDad: Kate never mentions about her dad or her mom.
40	* {{Flashback}}: During flashback scenes with her grandma Gigi, we get to see Kate as a little girl in the first two parts. In the third part, the throwback took place two years before Kate joins the Ultimate Kid Photographer Challenge. Also, in the fourth part, the throwback took page one year before.
41	* FourthWall: Kate takes a picture of the audience in the first three parts of the film. She even tells them to say "Kate's gonna lose" in the second part.
42	* TheGlassesGottaGo: During her flashback scene with her grandma Gigi during the third part, Kate was seen wearing glasses. Somehow, it is unknown if they're contacts or if Kate got eye surgery a couple of years before joining in the Ultimate Kid Photographer Challenge.
43	* JawDrop: At the end of the fifth part, as Joe talks about partnering Chelsea's money with Kate's missionaries to build a lot of wells, Kate's jaw drops of excitement.
44	* LeastRhymableWord: In the second part, Gus rhymes Anatoly's name with "Venom Moly".
45	* MissingMom: Kate never mentions about her mom or her dad.
46	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: During the third part when the photography kids and teenagers all have to use a special Poland camera to take one photo only, Kate accidentally takes a picture of her own foot which was shown during the photo show off. In the fourth part while in the observation deck, Kate was really disappointed thinking that she'll never get back in the game. She didn't even noticed Rosalyn and Anatoly were back in the game until Joe brought her back in.
47	* RapidFireNo: Done by Kate when she found out that she accidentally got a picture of her foot with a special Poland camera.
48	%%* Reality Ensues: This story was narrative by Kate and her grandma Gigi.
49	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Boone can really imitate a tire screeching.
50	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Gus did this during the second part after no search of a purple-striped elephant.
51	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Gus and Boone. Gus is a nice and gentle photography guy who likes to make friends with animals and name them. Boone is a nice rough and tough cowboy who likes making wild noises with bike rides and likes to wave his cowboy hat.

53	%%* SoProudOfYou: For Chelsea after she wins the Ultimate Kid Photographer Challenge.

Kate takes a picture of her foot by mistake during the third part, and Anatoly takes a picture of his sock on the ground during the second story.).
55	-->'''Kate''': "The observation deck is where hope goes to die."
