In my book Perks of Being a Wallflower, it is now getting towards the end of the year for Charlie. He feels alone, isolated, like he lost everyone but he knows it was his own mistake. He's a freshman who has feelings or this girl named Sam. But Sam has a boyfriend named Craig and Charlie knows he cannot interfere with them because he loves her so much where he doesn't want to hurt her. He goes out on dates with Sam's best friend, Mary Elizabeth. He thinks they're just going on dates but Mary Elizabeth keep talking to him everyday and Charlie now is getting impatient. With the whole squad together, they play truth or dare, Charlie always picks dare because he doesn't want to hurt Mary Elizabeth with the truth.
The theme in this book is friendship. The problems they always had they still got over it. At my school, Heritage, you can't be friends with people because everyone holds grudges and are so ignorant. At least Patrick, Sam, Charlie and the others would always hang out at Big Boys or at the parties they threw. Also, Charlie seems to be depressed at some times, its not always the easiest thing to get over and to have friends to actually get your mind off of things, thats the best feeling. Towards the end of the book, I don't want to say who, but there is this fight and no matter if Patrick and Sam weren't talking to Charlie, Charlie still jumps in. In the book it says "Then, she said that Mary Elizabeth and she got over it, and she thanked me for taking Patrick's advice and staying away for as long as I did because it made things easier. So, then I said, 'So, can we be friends now?' 'Of course,' was all she said. 'And Patrick?' 'And Patrick.' 'And everyone else?' ' And everyone else.' Thats when I started crying." With all of this, Sam didn't make fun of him or even so no to being friends again. That proves she did want to still be friends with Charlie even though he was younger then all of them.
