The book I'm reading for class is called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", and I was curious of the stereotype of a wallflower. I Google-d it and from reading the book the main character Charlie is a perfect example of a Wallflower... hence the name.. makes sense! I just finished the book recently and am ahead of my reading schedule, but the book was so good I couldn't put it down. But throughout the book it gives concrete examples as to how Charlie proves he lives up to it. Throughout his journal entries he tells us how he's so quiet and shut off from the world until he meets his two best friends that helps him survive high school and accepts him into their social group. And during one of their Christmas parties, all of his friends agree on how he is the most interesting person and how cool he really is. I tried to compare myself to the stereotype and I am just too involved in clubs or sports that I can't be a wallflower. But I definitely want to meet a wallflower one day.
I am also reading the book and I love it! It is so interesting. I was kind of a wallflower in high school. I just sat back and watched what everyone else was doing. I am almost done with the book, and I am excited to see how it ends!
ReplyDeleteI have heard that this book is really good! I have been meaning to see the movie as well. Glad to see that you are enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of or read this book but just by the definition it seems interesting. I guess you can say I used to be a wallflower before High School when I joined sports. I mean I had a select group of friends like everybody else, but I never really went outside that group until around 9th grade. I just usually kept to myself instead.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the movie and considered reading this but, I didn't. The movie was quite interesting and I've always heard the book is always better. Seems to me you enjoyed it so I might give it a go.
