Choose a line blog: The Perks of Being a Wallflower By: Stephan Chboski

       In the novel The Perks of Being a WallflowerCharlie, the main character, is going through a very rough time. Charlie is a freshman in high school who has recently dealt with the death of his best friend. The hardest part about Michael's death is that he did it to himself. Following MIchael's death, Charlie had to face his first year of high school alone. While trying to find friends he gets mixed up with a group of people who pressure him to do things he doesn't want to do. Charlie does not want to turn down their friendship because he has no one else to be with. Also, Charlie is facing love and family problems at this time too. 
       "And in that moment, I swear we were infinite." I chose this line because it shows that Charlie really cares about Sam and that he knows she is special to him. Also, it shows that when Charlie sets his mind to something he follows through with it. For example, Charlie's best friend Michael did not have a lot of friends and he was different than the normal teenager,but those qualities of Michael did not stop Charlie from being his friend. In this part of the book, the relationship between Charlie and Sam in one way. This means that Charlie has feelings for Sam but she does not feel the same way. This quote also shows foreshadowing. It makes the reader wonder whether or not things will work out between them.

I rate this book a 10/10
