I just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. The book was really interesting and I think the whole thing was mainly about Charlie growing up and kind of seeing the world.
At the beginning of the book Charlie was talking about how his friend Michael died, and how he was a really good friend of his. He also said that his other friends turned into different people and he didn't hang out with them anymore. But then he met Sam and Patrick. And they turned out to be his best friends, and they accepted who he was and how he acted and he felt like he could be himself with them and they all felt comfortable with each other. That's when he started to grow up and see the world.
Charlie realized that he was unique but normal, which is why his teacher, Billy, gave him special attention. Charlie himself notices how he thinks too much about things but his teacher doesn't think that's a bad thing and Charlie accepts himself. Charlie saw more of the world and did new things. He went to a party and got stoned, and did some pretty stupid stuff, but it's all a part of growing up. He fell in love with Sam, and he got his first girlfriend and I think he realized that life is much better when you go out and live it.
Charlie grew up a lot throughout this book, and in the end, I think he was really happy with his life and I think he realized how much it changed and how much better it got.
