Topic > The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

In my book The Perks of Being a Wallflower, there are four main characters. Charlie, Sam, Patrick and Mary Elizabeth. The way the author describes Charlie is a bit like a sensitive young man trying to figure out what to do with his life. He doesn't really have any friends because last year his best friend died and his aunt died in a car accident. Sam seems like a really energetic young woman who loves hanging out with her friends and listening to classic rock. I think the Author made her character perfectly because every word she says sounds like she is happy on the outside but a little lost on the inside. Patrick is a joker who is sometimes depressed because he is gay and his boyfriend has to pretend not to love him. He is Sam's half-brother and they seem to be great friends. He also loves music. Mary Elizabeth is a mix between a Buddhist and a punk. She shaved half her head and on weekends she has a show called "punk rock" which is supposed to be a remake of this show called Rocky Horror Picture Show. He dates Charlie for a while, but he's controlling, and Charlie doesn't really like him because he really likes Sam. The main idea of ​​a book is that if you go to a new place, you probably won't have many friends at first. but don't let that stop you from doing your best and doing what you believe is right. Knowing that you will make friends and have a great time. At the beginning of the book, Charlie starts high school and doesn't have many friends, but he soon makes the best friends he's ever had in his life. "I'm writing you this letter because I'm starting high school tomorrow and I'm really scared to go." The Perks of Being a Wallflower is in the second person because... center of the paper... ..he wanted to kiss Mary Elizabeth but didn't, so she broke up with Charlie) leaving him behind at the beginning, friendless. This was a bad time because Charlie starts to get "bad" again, meaning he starts having flashbacks and gets really depressed. He saves Patrick from a fight at school which is a kind of forgiveness from his friends to let him go out and talk to them again. Charlie helps Sam get into college and soon all his friends leave to go to college. He gets sick again and ends up going to the hospital. When Sam and Patrick arrive at Charlie's house, it is a conclusion for Charlie and they go through the tunnel to reach the final page. I think the author did a great job of choosing when the events depicted in the book would happen. It seemed like the life of a teenager and he changed it up a bit so the reader wouldn't be so bored.
