Main character Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, is comparable to that of main character Harry Potter from the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling.
Harry Potter is a young boy with a troubled past and family. Harry is quite unaware of his full potential and of how important and incredible he truly is. Both Harry and Charlie begin as outcasts-awkward and friendless, they soon befriend people who become their family.
Harry and Charlie are alike in the fact that they do not believe in themselves fully, due to past problems with family and other disturbing events. Harry, especially in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, deals with self-doubt and a lack of self-worth-as does Charlie. The two, throughout their stories, develop into their own type of hero.
I really liked how you were able to connect the characters from Harry Potter to the characters in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this comparison; I would have never thought of this. In my opinion, these two characters are completely different, but connect in the one way that you have described above.
