Favorite Parts from The Perks of Being a Wallflower...

So, yeah. I totally loved the book and I really can't wait for the movie to be released! 2012, come faster...but it also means that The Twilight Saga will come to an end.. WAAAA! 

Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Nina Dobrev will star in the movie version of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The book's author will also be it's director. How cool is that! I think, that this movie will be really good. 

I've got nothing to do in our house, so here I am blogging and will be posting my favorite parts of the book. Hope you enjoy it, and may be you'll be inspired to read the book too. By the way, the book is really a good read. 

This things that I'll be posting is from the end part of the book...It's just three scenes that I like. 

"Charlie, don't you get it? I can't feel that. It's sweet and everything, but it's like you're not even there sometimes. It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder. What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things." ~ Sam 

"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad." ~ Charlie

"...I listened to the music and thought about all the things that people have said to me over the past year. I thought about Bill telling me I was special. And my sister saying she loved me. And my mom, too. And even my dad and brother when I was in the hospital. I thought about Patrick calling me his friend. And I thought about Sam telling me to do things. To really be there. And I just thought how great it was to have friends and a family. As we went into the tunnel I didn't hold up my arms like I was flying. I just let the wind rush over my face. And I started crying and smiling at the same time. Because I couldn't help feeling just how much I loved my aunt Helen for buying me two presents. And how much I wanted the present I bought my mom for my birthday to be really special. And how much I wanted my sister and brother and Sam and Patrick and everyone else to be happy. But mostly, I was crying because I was suddenly very aware of the fact that it was me standing up in that tunnel with the wind over my face. Not caring if I saw downtown. Not even thinking about it. Because I was standing in the tunnel. And I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite." ~ a part of the last entry in Charlie's diary. 

Okay. Done. For those who haven't read the book, read it! :) Hahaha. 

I also made a book report of this, click here. 

NOTE: The quoted parts are really from the book, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER by STEPHEN CHBOSKY.

Charlie, a freshman student, thrown into the real world and faces different kinds of issues a teenager in his age would have. From the first group of friends he has, to his first crush, first date, first kiss, first love, first time to experience drugs and every first that is imaginable is explored and introduced to us in his diary. The story was just basically a narration of his life, his experiences as a child, as a brother, as a student, as a friend, as a boyfriend and as an ordinary boy who blames himself for the death of his Aunt Helen. The ups and downs of his life were written in his diary, and he also shared how he overcomes his problems in life.

“So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them”, Charlie writes this down in the diary.
