Perks Of Being A Wallflower: Journal Entry 2

(Pg 28-60) Today it started off with Charlie meeting up with Sam & Patrick at the Homecoming Game where Sam would invite Charlie to a party they (She and Patrick) were having after the game. During the party, Charlie would catch Patrick and the football team's quarterback Brad kissing in the closet where Patrick would tell Charlie to never tell any one about this in which they decided to keep it as a secret between the two of them. I read about how the whole thing started between Brad & Patrick and that it started at a party when they were juniors (they're seniors now) when Brad & Patrick made out in the basement when they were left alone. Charlie would make things up with his sister after he saw his sister with the guy who hit her dancing at the homecoming dance. His sister would tell Charlie that she has been seeing the guy in secret since their dad told her to never see him again and then she told Charlie to keep it a secret between the two of them. I was introduced to new characters such as Brad, Bob (a guy who got Charlie stoned at the party after the Homecoming game), Mary Elizabeth (this Buddhist girl who runs The Rocky Horror Picture Show where people would dress like the characters from the movie and act out the scenes of the movie in front of the movie), and Craig (Sam's 21 year old boyfriend who Charlie is jealous of). And then Charlie talks about what happened at thanksgiving where everyone gathered to see an old game of his brother, who could unfortunately not make it to Thanksgiving due to low grades. I still predict that things are going to escalate between Sam & Charlie eventually and that his brother will eventually come visit with terrible news about his grades that prevents him from playing football.

Perks Of Being A Wallflower: Journal Entry 1

(Pg 1-28) Today, I started reading my book and i met the main character Charlie who types letters about his days, like a diary, for an unknown reason to unknown person. They don't reveal that much about him, but that he has a mom & dad, an older sister, and an older brother. He starts typing letters during his freshman year in High School (his sister is a senior in high school while his brother is a freshman at college by the way). Along the way we meet other main characters like Sam & Patrick, two seniors who are step siblings that Charlie befriends (Charlie also kinda has a crush on Sam, Sam is a girl by the way) and Charlie's English teacher Bill who gives advice to Charlie. At one point in the book he notices his sister getting hit by her boyfriend and his sister tells Charlie to never their parents about what just happened. Instead he tells Bill about it and he calls his parents who tell his sister stay away from her boyfriend, afterwards his sister would tell Charlie that she hates him. I predict that things are gonna happen between Charlie & Sam after Bill told Charlie a life lesson that "We accept the love that we deserve" and that maybe Charlie might have the courage to ask out Sam.
