Mind Over Pop Culture: The Perks of Being a Wallflower September 5‚ 2013 Trauma has come up a lot in this blog. Movies use it‚ and grief‚ as a quick way to create tension and conflict in plots.

Poetry Response to Wallflowers by Donna Vorreyer This poem makes me think of my favorite book called The Perks Of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.
