The Perks of Being a Wallflower


Charlie is the main character of the perks of being a wallflower. He is shy and wishes to become a writer. He has a mother, father and older sister and brother







Patrick is by far the best character in the perks of being a wallflower. THE BEST. He is funny, nice and very bright. 

Sam is the stepsister of Patrick and she looks like she's very fun to be around. She is very enthusiastic 






Charlie is a shy teenager who has just got into high school. He was never really noticed and preferred talking to his family than to other people. He misses his aunt who died in a car accident, and his best friend, who had committed suicide. He starts writing letters to an imaginary friends telling his emotions and feelings. In his past Charlie has had mental illness problem from when he was young. At a football game, Charlie befriends Patrick, who is gay, and his stepsister Sam, who soon become best friends. They go to a restaurant, and on the way there they ride under a tunnel. There was an amazing song playing and Sam demanded Patrick to open a back window so that she could stand on the back of the truck, and screams as they exit the tunnel. Charlie wishes to be a writer, and soon becomes his English teacher's favorite student. At a party, Patrick and Sam introduce Charlie to their friends, and Charlie falls in love with Sam, but does not have enough self-confidence to ask her out on a date. In his new school, Charlie discovers a new world and feels happy with the progress he made from his last school. When the end of the year comes closer, he is asked to date a friend of Sam and Patrick named Mary Elizabeth. When their relationship ends, Patrick tells Charlie to stay away from them for awhile. At lunch a few days later, Patrick is being attacked by his own "boyfriend". Charlie has been really sensitive about this ever since hi best friend committed suicide. Charlie steps into the fight and stops it almost immediately. He was sent to the office, and when done, Sam was waiting outside for him and told Charlie that he saved her stepbrother, and they become friends again. Weeks pass and Charlie receives flashbacks of his aunt, and they get worse every night. Graduation nears and Sam is accepted to Penn State. Charlie helps her pack, and Sam asks charlie why he never asked her out. after a few heartfelt confessions, they start to kiss. The day after Sam graduates, Charlie goes home and triggers his mental illness again. He calls his sister for help and she tells her friends to call the police before Charlie could hurt himself. He wakes up in the hospital and the doctor discloses the the origin of his mental illness.  

In my vision, the scariest parts are the lunch room fighting scene and Charlie's mental illness problem.

and Sam as main singer in second

I would suggest this movie to people at the age of thirteen and higher because this movie shows what high school might be like for people who are going to high school. I really enjoyed this movie (8/10) because it looked like it all happened in real life, like how this might happen to us. It gave me an idea of what high school might look like for me, or it could look nothing like the movie.

  1. Why were those parts so scary for you?
    Why were those parts your favourite parts?
    You need to explain these sections a little more thoroughly. You gave it an 8/10 but I'm not really sure why from the rest of your review.

    14/20
