Good morning/afternoon classmates. For this assignment‚ I have decided to mainly focus on the social side of diversity rather than the cultural side. So how does the book Looking for Alibrandi compare to my chosen text‚ the movie The Perks of being a Wallflower. Well both these texts are oddly alike.

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.
