- Everything is fine. Im comfortable being alone, why would I need to put myself out there?
- In The Perks Of Being a Wallflower, Chbosky is consistent with the theme of living in the moment. He pushes the idea you should always strive to put yourself out there, and that you shouldn’t let your uncertainty chain you to simply watching as life flies by.
- In the beginning of Perks, Chbosky portrays Charlie as this antisocial, robotic, deeply troubled young teen. Charlie starts off as not only an oddball, but a total outcast, a black sheep even within his own family. Despite this, Charlie goes through life seemingly indifferent to being ostracized, completely detached from life going on around him. Although this characteristic mainly affects Charlie himself, his apathetic nature had gotten people hurt in the past. One example of this would be was when Charlie talks about witnessing the rape of a girl at a party. The girl was clearly in distress, but Charlie stayed on the sidelines as just watched it happen. Her cries of “no” disturbed Charlie, and“Even when [he] covered [his] ears, [he] could still hear her say that.” He knew, deep down, what was happening was wrong, but quiet and confused Charlie remained on the sidelines as a girl was assaulted right next to him. If Charlie had acted, and not just froze up when faced with unfamiliarity, he could have prevented what happened to that girl.
