Starting High school is hard for most people. Everything is new, and everything is vulnerable. People use so much time to show who they are and show their best sides, so they have the chance to hang out with the most popular groups. But that is not easy when you are not one of the socially skilled teenagers. That can Charlie relate to, the protagonist in the novel “The perks of being a wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky.
The novel is an epistolary novel, written throughout a year. Charlie, the main character, and the narrator in the novel. The story is fully told from Charlie’s perspective as a first-person narrator. He is writing often to reflect on the things there are happening in his life throughout a year:“I start high school tomorrow and I am really afraid of going.” (Page. 7) The quote tells that Charlie is staring in high school. He knows from the beginning, that something is about to change. He’s thoughts about that are either he is going to be the same lonely person, or then he is finding some friends he can associate with. So, he starts with a new view of the chapter and gives things a new chance. The reader's knowledge for the upcoming situations is as shocking for the reader as it is for Charlie, he is trying to incorporate the reader in the novel by talking to them “I am writing to you” (page. 3) that’s connecting the reader fully to Charlie's perspective throughout the story.
