4-2-14 Perks of being a Wallflower pgs 33-56

Summary: At the homecoming party, Charlie meets a boy named Bob, who gives him a special brownie. Charlie is stoned for the entire party and it is the funniest thing. The next letters, Charlie tells of the people he has met, like Mary-Elizabeth, and his family. He fixes things with his sister, and then attends a Thanksgiving dinner with his family.

Quote: “And at that moment, I swear we were infinite”

Sig of Quote: This is the most beautiful thing I have ever read. It may be short, but it means so much. Charlie see’s things and feel’s things in deeper ways than others do. The tunnel car-ride was a new experience for him, and the way it makes him feel is too amazing to just use the word “amazing”, and infinite fits just right.

Reflection: As he and his friends are driving through the tunnel and the music is playing, and Charlie says he feels “infinite”, thats when Charlie discovered what he loves. It may not be football like his brother, or “teasing” boys like his sister, but its a love of something real. When he looks back on his freshmen year, he will think of those moments; for they are what made him grin from ear to ear, and what lifted his body from the ground. In reality, his experiences may be even truer and fuller than the football jocks or drama geeks. These moments weren't planned frame by frame, they were improvised. They happened to him, and only he can remember just how he felt, nobody can re-act them or re-play them.

Question: Is there something deeper to his brothers no-show on thanksgiving?
