General Analysis

 

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is a coming-of-age story told through letters from Charlie, a teenager navigating his first year of high school. The novel explores themes of identity, trauma, and the search for belonging as Charlie grapples with mental health issues, past abuse, and the complexities of friendships and relationships. He finds solace in books and his English teacher, Bill, while building bonds with older students, Patrick and Sam. As he experiences love, parties, and heartbreak, Charlie learns to face his past and to participate more fully in his own life. He struggles with the challenges of adolescence, while dealing with issues of his own mental health and trying to be honest with those around him.
