I didn’t get a high-mark on this one and I’m pretty sure my prof didn’t bother to read my paper at all. Let me share with you guys what 17-year old naive and closeted Christian passed to his professor. Out of the hundreds of books I’ve finished, The Perks of Being a Wallflower was the one I chose to write about. Like Charlie, I spent so much time in my head that I didn’t actively participate in life or outside in the real world.ĭuring one of my classes in college, we were told to do a book review. I was shy and didn’t have the confidence to step out and join in on others. Mostly I kept to a corner during social situations, fully satisfied with quietly observing everyone. I too pretty much kept to myself and felt out of place in school. As an introvert who also happens to be a writer, I deeply identified with Charlie’s character. Growing up, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” is one of my favorite books. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” has also been adapted into a movie last 2012 starring Logan Lerman, Emma Waston, and Ezra Miller. But as his new friends start to leave for college, memories from the past resurface threatening Charlie’s newfound confidence. Charlie starts to discover the joy of friendship, first love, and music. The book follows the story of Charlie, a socially-awkward freshman in high school who meets two free-spirited seniors, Sam and Patrick. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a coming-of-age book written by Stephen Chbosky.
