The book of ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ is about a boy named Charlie who suffers by his past by losing his best friend Michael who suicide and Charlie misses him. Charlie starts to write letters each day about what happens on his going life; he goes to high school and he meets Sam and Patrick, both are brothers, Charlie begins to have a friendship with both of them and he starts to fall in love with Sam. Charlie in some days he writers about remembering Michael on some situations and also about his aunt, at the end Charlie ends on a mental hospital and Sam and Patrick visit him; Charlie at the end decides to live more on his present and future than his past.
I think about this book that is pretty awesome and I love it, I love when all the book is written like a diary and it looks that you’re reading someone life on a simple book. It is really interesting this book of knowing a life of a simple kid who lost his best friend and besides he was abused by his aunt, he can’t forget his past, he needs help but at the end he ends on a mental hospital and he gets help; Charlie decides to live more on the present than the past.
I advise this book to the people who is interest on a personal life and knowing more about it, to the people who need to learn on how to treat people, because most of the people on the world are being judged and by not knowing his/her story. Most of the people judged someone by their appearance, by something they heard about him/her and more, the people who are bullied are the point of view to be bothered. I hope one day everything could change by reading this book and people can understand.
The point of view on the story I like it, because when each event connects to show the point of view on the story. It makes the story feel interesting and besides, when everything happens for a reason like Charlie's life it makes it that you are reading a story that someone may experience. I wouldn't change it, because everything happens for a reason and not every story has events that all may be happy, it needs to have pain and a point of view. I really enjoy The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
The events connect to each other from the beginning when Charlie starts to write when he start begin Patrick's friend and after that he start knowing Sam, Patrick's sister, and from that Charlie fell in love with Sam. After that Charlie start to change and forget his past when he suffer and feel alone when his best friend died. Charlie at the end he ends on a mental hospital by becoming crazy at besides when he told Sam he was in love with her. But at the end Charlie decides to stop writing and participate more in his life by not becoming a wallflower anymore.
The characters change, when Charlie at the beginning he was a lonely, shy, and unpopular kid when he is affected by his past when he suffer of the death of Michael his only friend. When the school year was about to end Charlie start to tell Sam that he have feelings about her, but Sam becomes angry and starts to tell to Charlie why he didn't tell her before. After the discussion Charlie and Sam kiss and Sam starts to touch Charlie and after that Charlie starts to remember when his aunt Helen touch him by the same way Sam touches him. Charlie breaks the kiss and tlls Sam he isn't ready. So at the end, Charlie ends on a mental hospital, Patriack and Sam visited him. Charlie at the end he stops writing and starts to participate in his life more.
The title is relate by the story of Charlie, because wallflower means a shy or unpopular individual who doesn't socialize or participate on activities at social events. With the word wallflower it describes exactly to Charlie by being a lonely shy and unpopular kid with no friends at the being and he starts to change by having Sam and Patrick as friends. Also it relates how Charlie tells his story on the book and how he express himself by writing it.
It would be different mostly in place, because everything happens on a high school, when Charlie meets Patrick and Sam on high school and they become friends. If it was on a different place like in the park it would be like for example Charlie is under a tree writing and then Patrick was about to catch the ball when he trips over Charlie's leg and suddenly Sam runs to Patrick, after talking they start to be friends and more.
In The Perks of being a Wallflower the characters are Charlie, a highschool student who is shy, that from his childhood he had a terrible past that from now he doesn't know how to express himself and communicate from others. Patrick, a highschool student who starts being Charlie's friend; and Sam, who is Patrick's sister and also who starts being friend of Charlie and they may say that Sam and Charlie are in love to each other.
The narrator of the story is Charlie, at the beginning he starts to explain that he is writing this because we are the only one who listen and understands him from a girl who fall asleep with her on a party. He tells us that we can't try to figure out who is she because you will know who is he, and he will call people by their names or genetic because he doesn't want you to find him. Charlie only wants to know if their is a person who would listen and understand him by the way he is going to explain his story.
I choose this book to read, because one day a friend was reading a book and I told her which book she was reading; then she told me "The Perks of being a Wallflower" and she told me if I already watch the movie and read the book. I was ashamed to tell her none of both, so, I told her and her face was like 'Are you kidding me, right?' and I told no. The next day I decided to read the book and it is awesome, I recommend this book for everyone who is interest on a personal life and knowing more about it.
