Choices - Week 2

My favorite book is "Perks of being a wallflower" written by Stephen Chbosky. This is my favorite book because it kind of explains the life of a kid named Charlie that was wasn't quite correct, but nothing was wrong with him. In the beginning of the story it talks about his good friend Michael who committed suicide. This leaves him with no one to talk to and he wonders why things work the way they do. Eventually he is introduced to Sam and Patrick. They are like the leaders of the wallflowers, but they are proud of that. They make Chalie see that being popular isn't everything and to embrace your true self. Later in the story you find out that Patrick is gay and his boyfriend is the quarterback of the football team. Charlie swore not to say anything about it because he was one of his best friends. Charlie begins to develop a little crush on Sam but doesn't say anything about it. He doesn't want to jeopardize their friendship. Sam is a senior and she has to graduate leaving behind everybody including Charlie. In this story Charlie experiences everything from sex, drugs, and having fun in the matter of two months because these two wonderful people came into his life.
