Perks of being a Wallflower End

Part one:
The theme of this novel would be finding oneself as a person. Charlie took all his struggles from high school and developed more into the person he was meant to be. He lost friends but found new ones. He realized the things he did not want in his life and the things he did. Charlie still has a lot more to grow throughout the years, however this novel shows just how much someone can change in a short amount of time. Everyone has a purpose in life, but it takes time to develop into the person we were meant to be in order to fulfill that purpose. Life is nothing but changes and finding oneself. Each and every day we discover something new about ourselves.

Part two:
"Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve" - This relates to the meaning as a whole because we go through many loves in life. Some will be better than others. As one makes mistakes in relationships they will develop a better understanding of what they truly want in a significant other. The idea of what we deserve may also change throughout the process of life.

"Not everyone has a sob story, Charlie, and even if they do, its no excuse."- Everyone will go through hardships in life, however that does not define the person you are unless you learn from it. It is a part of growing up and developing the person you want to become.

" So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be. - The following quote is a clear example of how Charlie is struggling to find himself, which is the main point of the novel.
