Please be good to your father and make him happy, he is going to still think about me and that is perfectly fine… I love you so much, I am sorry it ended the way it did. I will be watching over you and dad, every step of your way. I hope you do well in school so you can get a good degree and support your family. I know that you are going to have an amazing life, wife, family, and friends. Not being able to meet your wife but already knowing who she will be, kills me but does not at the same time. You are in the best hands you could be in and you will make me very proud. I know it is really hard and it will be really hard not having me around and not ever going to have me around but in the end we all will die one day or another and that is just how life is.

Five Reasons Why Sam is a Literary Hero

Sam is essentially a literary character. She is a “daredevil” while going around she invites Sam in unlike anyone else… She makes Charlie feel special, she gets his out of his “dark hole”.

To tell you how she did this so well here are five reasons why Sam is the real hero in The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

 

1.     She makes Charlie have fun, gets his mind off of being depressed.

Even though they might not be the best decisions she still reaches out and gets him out of that bad place, makes him feel like he has someone to go to and makes him feel involved. Yes they are all older and they all do things that they’re not supposed to but they’re teenagers… As they were coming home from homecoming, Sam decides she is going to stand up out of the car in a tunnel and put her arms out like a bird, Charlie just sat there and smiled.

2.     She makes Charlie fall in love.

Charlie may have fallen in love with her and it wasn’t the best idea but she doesn’t just think it’s weird and stops talking to him she tries to get him out of it. She lets him know that she doesn’t feel the exact same way and still is nice about it. In the end she ends up falling in love with Charlie and when she goes to collage she doesn’t stop thinking about him… AS Charlie was helping Sam pack for collage they ended up getting very intimate and in the end Charlie decides to call it off because of Sam going to college.

3.     She helped him pay attention in school and get better grades.

As Sam was helping Charlie study for the S.A.T she made him realize how important school really was and he needs to get good grades… The only way you succeed or get into a good collage in life is if you have to put forth all your effort in high school… Knowing she was very laid back and always just got average grades.

 

 

 

4.     She teaches Charlie that sexual abuse is not right…

As Sam was sexually abused when she was younger, she never really told anyone and when she did they did not believe her… When she finally comes out and tells Charlie he realized how much it hurt her and still does… Charlie finally realizes that he should never ask a girl do things she doesn’t want to and he should never do the things that happened to her.

5.     Sam makes Charlie to follow his dreams.

For Christmas Patrick (Sam’s stepbrother and Charlie’s friend) and Sam got Charlie an old fashion typewriter, this typewriter got Charlie in to writing a lot more, as Charlie’s teacher always made him write extra essays on books he had read and gave him feedback. Towards the end/ middle Charlie realizes that he wants to be a writer and decides he is good at so he’s going to follow his dreams.

Blog post #5- Best sellers

·         I feel as if the book is a great story, it is selling good, giving the author money, and the people reading it is okay then why not lie about it being non-fiction. The main reason for books are to entertain and to amuse people… If they wanted to learn about something, fore say the holocaust then they can go and get a history textbook. As Janet says, that she does not care if it is true or not as long as it is a good story and I agree with her.

 

·         I think that half-truths are completely fine, as if they’re giving you a good story why not lie or tweak it a little bit? Some of it is still true so the author is not completely lying nor completely telling the truth he was more of making a good story and adding/taking away some things to make the story better and more engaging.

 

 

 

·         I think that David is right because honestly are we looking for truth in a story or are we looking for a good engaging story? I feel like people over reacted a lot and they shouldn’t have because when you read it you though “oh wow this is a great story” and then once you found out he lied everyone was mad but you wouldn’t have known unless you did all the research. Books shouldn’t be labeled, they are all there to entertain you not to tell the truth.

The themes that seem the most meaningful and interesting is when James is talking about his mom driving and explaining how she put them into a dangerous situation.

English- TCOW- conversation with james

M- Hello James how are you?
J- Great Maddy how are you?
M- Great, I just have some questions for you...
J- Sure thing!
M- How did it make you feel living the way you did with so many children in your house?
J- Sometimes I didn't like it because I didn't get much time alone with my mother.
M-Would you change having as many kids in your family?
J- No, sometimes they do get annoying but I love them and wouldn't change them for the world.
M- Do you ever wish to meet your dad one time?
J- Well of course, he helped make my life come true and there is not a day I go by not thinking about what he was like.... I had my step dad in my life that also helped me and was a father figure for me.
M- Thank you so much James!!!

This conversation is about his life and how he lived and what he would change differently.
