The book “The perks of being a wallflower”- Jude’s GoosebumpMoment
Jude: “Hello, I want to talk to you about a little GoosebumpMoment of mine. As I just started reading the book “Perks of being a wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky, I came across this quote that I think really changed my perspective on life in a very positive different way. It hit me like a moment of realisation that I’m not the only one feeling that way; distraught, in between. It’s like how people would explain or, the way people might explain it maybe would be like bittersweet or that things aren’t as black and white as people make them out to be. You always have to believe and keep in mind that there’s always a little bit of hell in heaven and a little bit of heaven in hell, so yeah. I think this quote really changed my life, changed my perspective on so many things, made me realise that I’m not alone in this world. I actually ended up reading this book five times over, so yeah. I would recommend it. That’s my GoosebumpMoment.”
“The perks of being a wallflower”, a romantic drama
“The perks of being a wallflower” is a book that fits perfectly with anyone, regardless of gender or age, because this story has so many teachings, and so many morals that it is impossible not to make you see the world in another way. It is a tender story and at the same time a bit crude, because the author does not skimp on the words he uses or the actions he describes.
Without a doubt, it is a great work, both on a literary and a personal level. It is loaded with reflections and situations of the real life issues that are not usually dealt with in literature, and it also has characters that are not easily forgotten.
Charlie’s story
Charlie, the main character in this story, is a shy, lonely, observant, sensitive and very loyal teenager. His biggest concern is adjusting to the high school environment without the support of his best friend, Michael, who committed suicide a few months before school started. To overcome this loss, the protagonist begins to write letters to a friend.
In this way, the viewer knows first-hand the thoughts and interactions of the boy with the affectionate members of his family. As well as with his first group of friends, some “dislocated” like him. Together with them he will have his first experiences with drugs and will begin to understand issues related to sexuality and adulthood.
