Perks of Being a Wallflower
Perks of Being a Wallflower starts off with a boy name Charlie. Charlie is very different from both of his siblings, his siblings were well known by the student body, while he just sits back and analyzes everything that is going on around him. Charlie sees and knows things about people in the school, but he always keeps it to himself. Charlie writes a series of letters to a person, he tells the person that he does not want to give anyone away, so he uses different names for everyone but him. Every letter is a story about something that new the he finds out. In high school there are a lot of people, some you may know and some you may not know. People can know you and many things about you and there may be a possibility that you do not know them or anything about them. There are many wallflowers around school, and the funny thing is that you will never know who knows what about you until you talk to them.

Have you ever tried being a wallflower – just staying quiet and observing? If you haven’t, I highly recommend it. Just sit back in a class or at lunch or at a game and watch what everyone is doing. You learn a lot!
