Blog 1 The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The book I started to read is called Perks of Being a Wallflower. The book starts of by the main character, Charlie, writing a letter to an anonymous person. Charlie writes anonymous because he feels that he should write to someone who will listen to his problems and who actually cares about them since he doesnt know anyone who does. He starts off by talking about his friend Micheal who had recently died. He talks about how they were both very close and how his death affected him in a negative way. Afterwards, he talks about his mom, dad, sister, and brother and about how he is the baby in the family. He also mentions that he does not like his high school because he got bullied, so he had to stand up for himself and fight the bully. As the book continues, he continues to write about his problems and his every day life.
The main character in this book is Charlie. He is the guy who is writing the letters to the anonymous person.  Just by reading the first couple pages, you can already predict what kind of person Charlie is. On page 7 it says , "And I did. And I really hurt Sean. And then I started crying.". This part was talking about when Charlie beat up his bully Sean and then afterwards Charlie started crying because he hurt him. During this part of the reading I noticed that Charlie is one of the couple guys who are sensitive and emotional. He even confesses his weird sensitive emotions later on in the book.
