I changed my blog a bit, as the Jane blog was way too hard and let's face it, a bit unrealistic.
So, instead of doing the Jane blog, I have decided to read some books that have been made into movies and then compare the two. And since, I love to read and love to watch movies, I'm pretty excited!
I'm currently at the end of the Perks of Being a Wildflower. I had a friend who told me about the book about a year ago and how awesome it was, but I didn't want to read another teen book. So, I kind of brushed it off. But, when this assignment came along, I thought, "hey, this book has been made into a movie, so why not?"
If you've read the book, you'll know that it starts off kind of obscure because you can't really understand what's going on. The book is a series of letters to someone anonymous and maybe someone did, but I never did figure out who the protagonist was writing to.
Anyhow, Charlie is a freshman at high school and from the beginning you come to know that he's gone through a lot. His best friend died and he's facing many changes as he enters the great big world of high school. I would best describe this book as a coming of age story.
Throughout the book, we learn that Charlie is someone you learn to love right away. He's compassionate, kind and really puts others above himself. And though so young, he really is quite mature for his age.
The person he's writing to, never does write back. So, I wold best say that he was perhaps, journaling. I would say that this is his way of coping with whatever it is he goes through in the novel.
So, in the beginning, he meets some friends at a football game that he becomes very close with.
Sam and Patrick are step-brother and sister. It really astounded me how along they get because I know how hard it is to have siblings!
I would best describe both Patrick and Sam as the high school rebels. They do drugs, they've been around, they live pretty carelessly but they take Charlie under their wings. What's even more amazing is that they are both Seniors. They are there throughout the entire novel.
And this marks the beginning of the novel.
