Wallflower

Patrick said something I don’t think I’ll ever forget.

“He’s a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.

            Patrick says this to Charlie shortly after he finds him with Brad. I feel as though based on this quote I can relate a lot to Charlie. I don’t want to go ahead and call myself a wallflower but I do feel that I am a very observant person. I can sit there and listen, retain. I don’t always have to be sharing my opinion, although I do always have one.

            Regardless, after reading this part from the novel, the title made sense to me and I fell as though it is very fitting. In Charlie’s case, being a wallflower did have its perks. As I think it does for everyone.
