Perks Of Being A Wallflower
I really enjoyed reading the book. I liked the way it was written pretty much.
Charlie's letters are as intimate as a diary as he shares his day-to-day
thoughts and feelings. You can somehow really get to know the narrator - Charlie
- and you feel like he is writing all these letters to you. That is very
interesting. Yet there are somewhat unrealistic tones, which I noticed some time
after reading the book, because my first impression was how incredibly realistic
it was. Charlie is only portrayed as the nice, innocent teenager. He does some
things wrong, but in the end is near perfect. Even though he is screwed up, your
compassion for Charlie is overwhelming, and you seem to forget that the book
does not seem that real. Besides, in my opinion some of the letters are too
"bookish". However I still think the book is insightful, true and
pretty sad. 2. The language was colloquial and very easy to understand. 3. There
are lots of impressing parts, but the one I liked most is when Charlie is
telling a poem at a Christmas party to all his friends. I loved the poem because
it is that sad but, however, true, I think. It is about growing up and how
things change when you are not anymore the lovely little child but have become a
young adult. In my opinion it is written in a very sad, nevertheless nice way.
Later on Charlie finds out the poem was written by a boy just before he killed
himself. He feels really sad about this. 4. "The perks of being a
wallflower" is the story of what it is like to grow up in high school.
Charlie, a 15-year-old freshman, is writing letters who cover his first year in
high school to an unknown person. Charlie encounters the same struggles that
many kids have to face in high school - how to make friends, family tensions, a
first relationship, experimenting with drugs - but he also has to deal with his
best friend's recent suicide. With the help of a teacher who recognises his
intuition , and his two older friends, the seniors Patrick and Samantha, Charlie
begins to be contented with his life. Yet not for a long time - depressed when
all his friends prepare for college, Charlie has a catatonic breakdown, which
resolves itself neatly and reveals a long-repressed truth about his Aunt Helen.
Nevertheless, he makes it back in due time, ready to face his sophomore year and
all it may bring. 5. In this book there is not really a climax because Charlie
only tells about his life. Though there happen several important ...
