The Perks.

Being in High School, you observe the people around you. What is she wearing? Why is she sitting with him? How old is he? Not only do you ask infinite questions, but you also get an idea of what High School is like, and how you are supposed to act. How should I dress? Who should I hang out with? High School will do this to a teenage girl, she will question herself and question the people around her. I say this because I am a 16 year old, girl, high school student, and I know firsthand what this world can be like. Perks of Being a Wallflower explains what high school is like, and the problems that teenagers face, whether it is deciding how you should talk to the girl next door, or how you plan to fit in. 
Chbosky writes a novel that explains the messed up, questionable, and extraordinary life of Charlie. He is determining who he wants to be, how to get the girl that he is in love with, and who he should hang out with. Sounds like another cliche teen heart-throb book, right? But here is the thing, Chbosky runs outside the lines and steps into the touchy, sensitive subjects of a teenage boy's life. 
This book is so appealing because it wraps up a high school experience in a tight package. He makes you imagine this story that weaves through a wonderful high school year with two amazing friends. I read each sentence with excitement to see what happens next. Wrapped up in a quick 213 pages. 

Did I not catch your attention with my blog post? Maybe a link to the movie trailer might :)


Take out a pencil, and scribble this in your infinite list
