The perks of Being a Wallflower
Title: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Author: Stephen Chbosky
Extended written text: Novel
In The Perks of Being a Wallflower, some of the characters in this text judge Charlie’s muteness as him being socially awkward and a freak and does not see it as the way of him coping with his sense of personal responsibility of a disturbin family secret that he has repressed for his entire life.
Although to be completely honest I labsolutely loved the supporting characters for being there and supporting Charlie through his ups and downs and letting him experience new things as they were the ones who helped him get through his first year at High School. Everything had changed when they met his best friends Sam and Patrick. I found it very interesting how they introduced him into their diverse, free thinking and sometimes wild friends because during the school year Charlie experiences his first date & first kiss, he deals with bullies and experiments with drugs and alcohol. It is people like this that are true friends as they would always be there for you and have your complete trust.
The story is about self-discovery and personal struggle. It is an emotional battle that covers Charlie’s experiences while growing up and dealing with his past. As a teenager I can relate to this novel as we have also been in self-doubt and issues in life. This makes me feel like I am also not alone in my feelings as he writes the letters in his own personal perspective.
When reading this book I found that Charlie was a very pleasant person, as in he is a person true to his word. There are no deceit or ill intensions in what he says. One of my favourite quotes in this book is when he says “Im so sorry that I wasted your time because you really do mean a lot to me and I hope you have a very nice life because I really think you deserve it” this was the last letter he sent before he was hospitalized.
“I want to thank you for being one of those people who listens and understands…”
