Hi everyone, we are too close to the end for posts. Finally I finished reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. Actually, I liked this novel because it is a sincere story and I liked the way Charlie shared his life events, feelings, emotions, thoughts and more... I really enjoyed while reading my novel. In the end, there was a surprise ending in the story. It was strange, I think Chbosky is really creative. I couldn't imagine an end like this.
If I would be the author, I would write the end of the novel in a different way.
" Charlie was in the hospital after for two months. He learned that he should not allow people to do wrong things. Especially if the people are doing things that is harmful for his own mental and physical health, against him. He had explained the worst and most effective things his Aunt Helen did to him when he was in the hospital. He was regretful for the thing he did to himself. He must had told his phsyciatris that he had an important problem in his life from his childhood. While he was thinking about his entire life, Sam and Patrick came up. When they came up, Charlie got happy and wanted to hug them. He was in a very emotional situation. They shouldn't came up right now. Then Patrick started the talking. "How are you Charlie?" he said. Like he said a strange thing, Charlie looked emotionless and said "Fine". Then Sam said that it was the time Charlie was going out of the hospital and he told that he got rid of from that area. Charlie prepared and they went. After some time, it was the time Sam must go to the university. Charlie was very unhappy and when Sam saw him like that, she couldn't stnad that situation and told the surprise. She was not leaving Charlie and she told that she found the best university in the city. Charlie didn't want her to do this, because her life and education was very important and because of him, he didn't like the things go in this way. It was a weird situation for him."
Here this is my Wordle of the novel:

Here this is my Wordle of the novel:
I chose to make my wordle in this way. It looks chaotic, beause this novel's main character who is Charlie's mind is also chaotic with a lot of life elements like beeing teenage, the mistery that his Aunt Helen did to him and effected him in a bad way, his love to a person who is older than him and more. I chose the green, white and blue colors, because they look nice and natural with each other. Also, Charlie is a sincere and natural character and in this way, I represented his personality with the colors.

Hi everyone, today I prepared a timeline about "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. In the timeline, I wrote the most important 6 parts for Charlie's life I read so far. As I mentioned before, I like this book because it is not boring and I think it is a close book. I liked the way Charlie tells his memories. I hope you will like the timeline I prepared for my reading class. I worked on prezi.com to make my timeline.

Hi everyone, in my third post my responsibility is to write a compare and contrast pharagraph about my past and current novel. I chose If I stay by Gale Forman to compare with The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.
The difference between If I Stay and The Perks of Being a Wallflower is:
Charlie's mother, who is the mother of the main character in The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a quiet and calm person. Besides, when she says something, she knows what she says and when she should say something. ''My mom chooses her battles carefully, and I can tell you one thing about my family. When my mom does say something, she always gets her way. And this time was no exception. My sister stopped crying immediately." (p25) But in If I Stay the main character's (Mia's) best friend's (Kim's) mother is a very emotional person and in a dramatic situation, immediately she starts to cry. She can't handle with this. (Senna Super Summarizer)
The similarity between If I Stay and The Perks of Being a Wallflower is:
The main characters of If I Stay and The Perks of Being a Wallflower are both deep thinkers, who are Mia and Charlie. They both are thinking and analyzing about the problems they have in their mind. Mia's problem is staying alive and getting rid of the serious sick position in the hospital. "What would it be like if I stay? What would it feel like to wake up an orphan?... to stay without them? I am not sure this is a world I belong in anymore. I am not sure that I want to wake up." (p164) Charlie's problem is being in love with a person, who is older than him and also who is going out with another guy. "To tell you the truth, I love Sam. It's not a movie kind of love either. I just look at her sometimes, and I think she is the prettiest and nicest person in the whole world. She is also very smart and fun. I wrote her a poem after I saw her in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I didn't show it to her because I was embrassed." (p47-48)
