Perks Of Being A Wallflower: Final Journal Entry

(Pg 183-213) Today, it started on the day before Graduation Day, where Charlie's brother comes back from college to see his sister graduate. Charlie brings up how he met a sports newscaster at the park where he talked about his brother which made his brother & his dad happy. Then, Charlie and his entire family go to the graduation to see Charlie's sister, Sam, Patrick, Alice, Mary Elizabeth, & Brad graduate. After the graduation, Charlie would get a call from Sam to go to a dance club to meet up, but Charlie's dad told him that he couldn't leave until his relatives left. After all of his relatives left, Charlie would meet up with all of his friends (especially Sam & Patrick) at the dance club where they left to a party at Sam & Patrick's house. The party kept going until it was just Sam & Charlie. They would go to Sam's room where Sam would get mad at him about how he was never himself and that he was always a shoulder to cry on who just listens instead of an actual friend who helps his friends during hard troubles and looks out for himself too instead of putting his friends before him. Then, Charlie would kiss Sam, who would kiss him back, and then things would start to escalate fast until Sam touched Charlie's thigh which made him pause for a second letting Sam think that he wasn't ready yet ending the night. The Next Day, Charlie would say his goodbye to Sam where they promised to call each other when ever they were feeling bad. Afterwards, Charlie would start feel bad & panicky, just like the night before, things got so bad that he ended up in a hospital for 2 months. Then, it was revealed that Aunt Helen used to molest Charlie when he was younger. During his time in the hospital, Charlie would get many visitors who tried to cheer him up. After he was released from the hospital, Charlie got a call from Sam where she said that she was gonna pick him up in her pick up truck to go through the tunnel with Patrick and her. Then, Charlie would get in the trunk, while the truck was still moving, where he would lift his arms in the air where he would feel "infinite". Then Charlie would state that this might be his last letter so he promised that he would always be fine and that when ever he wasn't he would soon be ok and hopes for the thing for who ever is reading the letters.

Perks Of Being A Wallflower: Journal Entry 6

(Pg 149-182) Today was a big one. It started with Brad & Patrick breaking up after getting into a fight at lunch because of Brad ignoring him and calling him the f word. Then a fight broke out between those two until Brad's football buddies joined in and started beating on Patrick. It kept going until Charlie came in and beat up Brad and his buddies and gave Brad a serious warning. Because of the fight, Patrick would get suspended & Charlie, Brad, & Brad's buddies would get detention. After Detention, Sam would pick up Charlie where they made up as friends and then told Charlie to make up with Mary Elizabeth and to be friends again, which they did. After this, Charlie would hang out with Patrick more often because Patrick was sad over Brad and needed company.And every time they hang out Patrick would kiss Charlie, who would let him because that's what friends do apparently. This would soon stop after Patrick got better. Charlie would also start getting sad after realizing that his sister and all his friends would be leaving for college soon, especially Sam who's leaving early for a summer program. Sooner or later it would be time for the Senior prom where Sam & Craig would break up, at an after party, after Craig admitted to cheating on Sam numerous times. One day later, Charlie would have breakfast with Bill and his girlfriend where Bill would tell Charlie that when ever he wanted to ask questions about books he can come to him because they're friends, then Charlie would start crying and he would call him the best teacher he ever had then he got hugged by Bill's girlfriend and he get a handshake from Bill and went home. I have no predictions this time.

Perks Of Being A Wallflower: Journal Entry 5

(Pg 117-149) Today it started with Charlie and his sister at the at the clinic where two things happen: Charlie's sister catches him smoking and she tells him that she's not pregnant. They both agree not to tell their parents about it because they would be mad at both of them. One day later, Charlie's sister tells him that she broke up with her secret boyfriend. Then it talks about how Charlie goes on his second date with Mary Elizabeth where they become an official couple. Afterwards, Charlie realized that he really doesn't like Mary Elizabeth in that way, and he's been trying to must up the courage to break up with her. Then came one night when everybody played Truth or Dare. Everything was fine until Charlie was dared to kiss the prettiest girl in the room. Instead of doing the smart thing and kiss his girlfriend Mary Elizabeth, he instead kisses Sam causing the room to go silent and leading Patrick to take Charlie outside. He explains to Charlie that he shouldn't be around anymore at least until the whole thing blows over, in which Charlie reluctantly agreed. I predict that Sam will forgive him, but that Mary Elizabeth won't.
