A show or a movie that has changed you, and how
I haven’t watched any show or movie that has changed me. Harry Potter didn’t change me, mainly because I ‘lived it’ -- I was a fan since I was aware of its existence, which was about 10 years ago. That movie helped me shape who I am today, and I’m thankful.
I’m a bookworm, and I’ve read lots of books that have inspired me, and have changed my views on certain things. But there was this one book I’ve read 5 months ago that has changed me totally. It was none other than The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I know that I’m being irrelevant here, but honest, I really haven’t seen any show or movie that’s changed me!
Anyway, The Perks is an epistolary novel, and it revolves around a fifteen-year old wallflower who hides his real identity with the name Charlie. As he starts his freshman year in high school, he meets two seniors named Patrick and Sam who helps him explore his surroundings: sex, drugs, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and love.
I loved how it was written in a letter form, because it was completely new to me. Reading it was the best. My writing style and the way I see things changed. I’ve stopped swearing more than I used to whenever I’d write blog posts. I’ve become more understanding when reading blogs that aren’t of my type. I’ve become a calmer and quieter person, and I’m glad I read the book.
The Perks was the first and only book I’ve reread, because I could totally relate to it. I really wish Charlie was real.
