The Perks of Being a Wallflower is an "epistolary novel written by American novelist Stephen Chbosky. It was published on February 1, 1999 by MTV. The story is narrated by a teenager who goes by the alias of "Charlie"; he describes various scenes in his life by writing a series of letters to an anonymous person, whom he does not know personally." The male protagonist Charlie is a teenager who struggles with teenage adolescence.
The story explores topics such as introversion and awkward experiences and confrontations of adolescence; also touching briefly on drug use and Charlie's experiences with it.
The reason why I have chosen to research this film is because within the novel's progression, various works of literature and film are heavily referenced and their meanings are discussed frequently, particularly in helping Charlie to understand the reality of teenage life and within his education. This links to my media film opening because of my references to Gandhi and Marilyn Monroe.
