The Perks of Being a Wallflower, is written as multiple letters from Charlie to the reader. This creates a really interesting novel because most stories aren't written like this. Having the entire story written in letters allows the reader to know all of Charlie's thoughts on an event. As Charlie writes, he shares his opinions and thoughts and really allows the reader to understand what is happening in his life. In his letters, he includes advice from other characters, allowing the minor characters to be characterized also. An example of how Charlie describes his thoughts to the reader is on page 138:
"I know that I brought this all on myself. I know that I deserve this. I'd do anything not to be this way."
This unique plot structure distinguishes the book from others and makes is a great novel to read.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting! I think this is a cool way to write a book. I've read a few other books structured the same way, and I really like them.
