Blog 2 Perks of Being a Wallflower

I have continued to read the book Perks of Being a Wallflower. As the book continues, Charlie continues to write letters to the anonymous person. One event that happens is that he meets two really intresting people, Sam and Patrick. Sam and Patrick changed Charlie's life ever since Charlie met them. They taught him how to "live life" as a teenager. Charlie feels happy because he knows that they might not be good influence but they are the only friends Charlie has had besides Michael. Eventually, Charlie falls in love with Sam but he does not tell her for the fear that their friendship will break. On page 49 it says, "I am really in love with Sam, and it hurts very much." This sentence explains how Charlie is too hurtful to tell Sam about his feelings. He talks to Patrick about how he feels but he just seems to tell him to keep it to himself because Sam is too old for Charlie.
As I read, I noticed that there was a memory moment with Charlie. One or two times he seems to go back and think about his friend Michael who passed away. At one part of the book, Charlie attends a football game at his school and remembers the times he used to go with Michael. In my opinion, I feel like the death of Michael was pretty tough for him because he seems to flashback to the good times they spent together and seem upset about it. But then again, he remembers that he has two good friends that are close to him just as Michael was.
