Dear Friend,

I read a book for my English class called “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”. I really liked the part of the book that took place around Christmas. It was when Charlie was a part of the Secret Santa. I enjoyed reading about all the presents that he received leading up to the party, and hearing his reaction to the gifts. It was cute and funny. I also liked the scene when everybody was playing truth or dare and Charlie kept on choosing dares. I especially liked the part of that scene when he was dared to kiss the prettiest girl in the room and he kissed Sam. It was a shock, but it made me laugh. It was also another cute seen. It’s amusing how Charlie really likes Sam that much and to prove his point would kiss her in front of his “girlfriend”.

When Charlie’s sister told him that she was pregnant it was the last thing that he probably expected her to say. She ended up opening up to Charlie and telling him that she is going to get an abortion with no hesitation. From this scene I learned that many hard times and situations arise in life, but no matter how low or bad you feel there is always another person out there that is experiencing the same if not worse things.

The ending of the book was sort of crazy. I really didn’t see it coming. How could Charlie love his aunt so much after what she did to him. For all of those years Charlie acted the way he did because he was molested by the one person that seemed to be the most important in his life. What a shock. It made me sort of sad and mad at the same time. However, the book was great. It was a down to earth book that anybody could get in to. I would definitely recommend it to another person.

Thanks for all of your time,
Rain
