#9 Character Reflection

 

My character is very likeable. He is kind of shy because he has gone through a lot in his life and I don’t think he really knew how to handle anything at first.  Charlie’s best friend committed suicide and now Charlie has just begun high school. He doesn’t have a lot of friends and wants to make new friends. He  ends up becoming friends with a group of kids that are really out going and crazy and kind of a misfit in there high school. The kids take him to parties and show him the other side of life that he hasn’t experience yet. I think Charlie is likeable for high school or college students because they can relate to just starting high school and being nervous and not knowing how to handle different situations in life. He’s also likeable to other people who have had to deal with a death or suicide in their life. You don’t know how to react to anything when things traumatic like these events happen. Charlie is learning is going through all different kinds of emotions during the book. You get to read and see Charlie grow as a person. Things he has to go through like every other kid. Being awkward at first in high school, not knowing how to talk to a guy or girl that you like, want to go to parties but not get into trouble these are all events most kids are dealing with in high school or college. Charlie becomes friends with many different people throughout the book.  Sometimes you think that you might not fit in somewhere but the truth is that no one really fits in anywhere. Charlie is an amazing character I would be friends with him anytime and anywhere. More people need to take the time and read a good book like this. The book so far is teaching me so much about life and people. Charlie put himself out there when he first started high school and I sometimes wish that I would have had done the same the same thing when I first started high school.  You really don’t know who you are or what you want to do with your life until you meet new people and experience new things in your life like Charlie is experiencing. All of his friends are brave and outgoing and aren’t afraid of anything or anyone. Charlie and his friends are the most likeable characters.
