I recently started reading "Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. So far I love the book and i can tell that i will like it more as I continue. Stephen is in my eyes the ideal writer. He writes about a easily imaginable character, in imaginable situations with imaginable solutions. So far in the 40 or so pages i have read, although i love the book, nothing much has happened. First we are introduced to this character Charlie who has recently moved to high school. We learn his previous friend killed himself but in his new life he has started to move on from his old friend and grow up.
In the text charlie is fitting in to the "new high school world" but i think theirs more than just fitting into high school i think its fitting into the world. So far we've already seen him trying to talk to girls, forming opinions on the world, and more things you grow into. This is something that me and most kids could relate too. at our age kids start becoming more then just kids. When we were kids we would listen to our parents music, watch what's on TV, eat what's on our plate and agree with everything that our parents stood for in politics. Yes once and a while we would say we didn't like broccoli but no one listened, we still were pretty simple we ate, we slept, and we copied what everyone said. However at a certain age this changes, we start becoming a part of the world in all different ways. We become independent and start to branch off from what we thought before and start to formulate new opinions.
In "Perks of Being a Wallflower" Charlie is slowly growing up. His friends patrick and sam are their too help and guide him but he is slowly realizing his place in the world and I am exited to find out how it ends up.
