Perks of Being A Wallflower

  Our last song is the theme song from M.A.S.H, Suicide is Painless.  I think that we have learned from the book that suicide is not painless, it effects many people in different ways.  Use the comment feature below to give me a couple of ideas that you have on how suicide has impacted Charlie’s life.  Some thing to thing about:

  • Do you think Michael or Aunt Helen would have reconsidered their choice if they had know the impact on Charlie?
  • It is easy to see the damage done to Charlie by these suicides, but has Charlie gained any insights, knowledge, or strength from the experience of suicides of his aunt and friend?

    I think that suicide is a horrible thing and i would not wish it upon anybody. In th book i think that aunt helens suicide and michaels suicide has impacted charlies life. He loved his aunt and i think because of what she said before she left it made him feel some what responisible. I dont think that aunt helen would have changed her mind if she new that it would effect him because i think that she just cares more about herself then anybody else. I dont know if michael would because i dont feel like i know enough about him to make that decision.

    Please tell me in class if this is actually homework. Yes i think that Aunt helen would have reconsidered but i don’t think michael would have. As for the second question. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
