Journal #9

"The Perks of Being A Wallflower" is a good coming of age story. Some people have their coming of age experience within their high school years because of the different environment and people they are exposed to within freshman year. Other than the main character Charlie being a major cry baby, this novel talks about him as a regular teenager in high school going through things that majority of us teenagers in the real world could probably relate to. From my reading, some examples of these experiences us teenagers may go through would be when Charlie met Sam and started to think of her in an obscene way, or when he went with Sam and Patrick brought Charlie to parties and experienced being stoned. Although Charlie experienced things that many of us teens have, these experiences also led to some peculiar events such as the bedroom incident. But I'm pretty sure some people in the world have gone through the same. Those situations don't seem Impossible. You never know, anything is possible.
