Perks of Being a Wallflower

I just started this book called Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky. Tis book is about a boy named Charlie who is just moving up into high school. He is used to blending into the crowd. Charlie is writing about high new high school experiences through letters to an unknown person, and is being brutally honest about everything.  Charlie also explains his brother and sister's lives as well. How his sister is dating a boy that Charlie saw hit her. How his brother is now a star football player and got on a full scholoar ship to collage. Charlie is social awkward and told everybody what he thought about everything that they were, being totally honest. During the first few weeks of high school he meets two friends, Sam and Patrick. These class skipping smokers were the closest thing that Charlie had to friends. They were also used to blending in, in school just as Charlie was. He starts to meet new people that you wouldn't notice if you just took a glance at people. He starts to realize that their are people that are in his school that could help him get through his high school days. 

I think that Charlie is a very interesting character. He is very honest about his opinion on everybody. I think that Charlie has a hard time connecting with people, and people have a hard time connecting with him. He tries so hard to blend in to his surrounding, but nobody in his family is like him, so it is extremely difficult. When he meets these seniors, he starts to realize that it's okay to stand out, because we everybody has their differences or their flaws. I think that this is a very important thing for Charlie to learn. I think that he needs to know how to deal with responding to other people an dhow to react to other people. I think that with him befriending these two other people that they will help him let himself open up to himself and open up to other people as well. I think this will help Charlie become more at peace with himself and the people around him.
