How we cite the quotes:
(Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
Sam and Patrick looked at me. And I looked at them. And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend. (2.10.6)
Enough said.
Quote 2
I think it was the first time in my life I ever felt like I looked "good." (2.10.13)
For a book that focuses on what's inside a teenage boy's head, appearances aren't all that central. What other moments in the book talk about the way someone looks? What's special about these moments?
Quote 3
She kissed me. It was the kind of kiss that I could never tell my friends about out loud. It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life. (2.10.43)
It was the kind of kiss that only happens in books or movies, the kind of kiss that only happens in slow motion in the rain with Zac Efron. Wait, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Perks. The fact that Charlie is able to have this intimate moment gives us hope that he'll recover from his traumatic past experiences.
Quote 4
I decided then that when I met someone I thought was as beautiful as the song ["Something" by the Beatles], I should give it to that person. (2.10.22)
Love and music are pretty intertwined in Perks. What is it about Charlie that makes this connection so strong?
Quote 5
I moved to the typewriter again, and I wrote something. "I love you, too." (2.10.29)
For someone as passive as Charlie, it's kind of surprising that he's so quick to declare his love. What is it about love that makes Charlie come out of his shell?
Quote 6
On that piece of white paper, Sam wrote, "Write about me sometime." (2.10.26)
Little does she know that practically every letter Charlie writes is about Sam.
