I will be impressed if you take the time to actually read all of this.
 QUOTE Dear friend, I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have. Please don't try to figure out who she is because then you might figure out who I am, and I really don't want you to do that. I will call people by different names or generic names because I don't want you to find me. I didn't enclose a return address for the same reason. I mean nothing bad by this. Honest. I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know that these people exist. I think you of all people would understand that because I think you of all people are alive and appreciate what that means. At least I hope you do because other people look to you for strength and friendship and it's that simple. At least that's what I've heard. So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be. Full Excerpt QUOTE I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why. The Perks of Being a Wallflower = One of my favorite books I recommend this book to anyone who hasn`t already read it. Did anyone else like this book/fall in love with the main character? xo, Pauline |

Alright, finished way faster than expected. I thought it was great and I liked the way it was written. I kinda wish there was a sequel to it, I hate when good things come to an end.
-edit- QUOTE(william @ Jan 24 2006, 4:12 PM)  i don't remember the exact details, but basically the aunt who died molested charlie at least a couple of times when she was still alive. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat explains the end. I was still confused too until I read what you said and then re-read those last pages and I get it now. I guess I didn't pay attention to the fine detail. -slaps forehead- |
