Have You Ever Felt Left Out? By Andrew

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I am Andrew, and I’m reading a book called The Perks of Being a Wallflower. In this book there is a boy named Charlie, and he writes letters to the reader talking about himself and what has happened in his life. This book demonstrates the meaning of friendship, and it also explains how people are different and that you should accept that. I like this book because Charlie is just a regular kid, although his friend has died and he is trying different ways to fit in with others. His family does not have the best relationship with each other, but they try to get along.
Friendship is when you have a good relationship with someone, and you both like each other and would do anything for each other. To Charlie, friendship means to connect to someone and having the same likes and dislikes. He discovers this meaning when he meets Patrick and Sam at a football game. They become friends with each other after they get to know each other.
This book is a great book because the author leaves people on the edge of their seat to know what happens in the next chapter. It is weird that it only has five chapters, and each chapter is about four to six letters that Charlie writes. I think what would make this book better is if the author would make more chapters and have Charlie talk more about his friends ,because he really only talks about his life and not really about his family member’s lives.
If you’re reading this, I would recommend this book to you because it has great themes, and it is written from different peoples perspectives. The themes are most appropriate for a teen audience, but they should still be acceptable for a mature reader.
