The Perks of being a Wallflower

      I am currently reading " The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky . Which is a book about a boy named Charlie, that is trying to take over the suicide of his dear friend Michel. This book is based on letters he writes to his anon friend. After his suicide, he meets amazing people, Sam and Patrick. Who gives Charlie a taste of wildness, and the more interesting life of high school.

      His life is not sweet hearten and straight forward. It can go in many directions. Like a choose your own adventure. Some decisions he makes aren't that well though-out. He procrastinates throughout the whole book. He isn't sharing his life with anyone else, its just him and his letters. Many problems take over his life
.
      His problems in his life include family. His sister was dating a guy that was abusing her. It's like he spills all the secrets to him, and his sister spills all her secrets to him. This chain affect has hurt him.  During the happiest times, he's thinking about the worst. He's taking life slow. Not to mention bad grades, especially in English and he described himself as a wallflower. A shy honest person. Who acts like he  has no emotions, whatsoever. But he does, everyone in the world has feelings. 

      Bill, his English teacher has not only been a teacher, but a counselor also. Bill never saw a intelligence in Charlie, until a few days ago, and gave him his first B. His abused sister has moved on, and blocked the villain. Charlie and Sam are always there for him, even if they have been friends for less than a week. All of his problems has changed, and the only thing he did was get new friends. Friends "below average". He was being himself. He felt confident in everything he said to them. They were like family. He could admit to Sam that he liked her and they could move on with their lives and start fresh. They started new everyday. He begins to meet more people. People like Mary Elizabeth, who are amazing and everyone helps Charlie get over the Wallflower experience. He gains more of the twisted version of the high school life. Where he gets invited to high school parties, people don't talk about it the next day it's just a come and go normal thing. My thinking is that he writes letters to keep a document of his life. Of how it's not normal.  Of how it's not like anyone else, it's just Charlies life, and there are only one special Charlie.

      I have learned from this book. It has taught me to live a life where I shouldn't be dead. I should have things I should control. Things like I shouldn't just follow the person next to me. So this book is an amazing book. It helps to procrastinate less. It makes you think less. Which is actually better for some people, because they are stressed. This booked taught me to think less, and wherever life takes you, it will be a beautiful place. I'm not done with the book yet, but so far it has taught me a lot, on how to keep calm. Charlie is doing a great job pushing his barrier.
