How does this text deal with individuals and groups? Are the people acting alone and in competition with one another, or does the text help us imagine people working together?
I am currently reading the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," by Stephen Chbosky. This book address's many social issues that teens face everyday, like drugs, sex, and parties. Charlie is the main character, and he sort of just observes his surroundings and writes them all down in a letter to the reader.
This text deals with individuals and groups by writing the book from the point of view of somebody who has no friends and somebody who is never invited places. It shows everyone what it feels like to be left out.The main character is once invited to a party by his "friend" but during the party everybody is having a good time and he doesn't really know what to do because he has never been to a party and he has always been left out.
