Family Quotes in The Perks of Being a Wallflower Page 1
(Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
| Quote #1 A lot of kids at school hate their parents. Some of them got hit. And some of them got caught in the middle of wrong lives. (1.6.48) |
Charlie is still thinking about his dad's "There are other people who have it a lot worse" (1.1.22) philosophy. For all of Charlie's griping, at least he can keep things in perspective.
| Quote #2 Sam then gave me a hug, and it was strange because my family doesn't hug a lot except my Aunt Helen. (1.8.10) |
Charlie talks about his Aunt Helen a lot in Perks. Once we find out that she molested him, all of these smaller comments start to make a lot more sense.
| Quote #3 [Mary Elizabeth] says that my sister is a tease and a snob. I told her not to say anything like that about my sister again. (2.2.6) |
The most recent thing Charlie's sister said to him was "You've always been a freak" (1.8.58), but Charlie still defends her. Is that family? Or is that just Charlie?
