Connections to Wallflower

As I delve more deeply into my independent reading book, I find that I am more like the character then I thought. He has developed relationships with people older then him, and I find myself almost like the people he is friends with. I have a lot of younger friends that I am really going to miss when I graduate, ones that have changed me and made an impact on my life. I can only imagine what he is going through right now, having all of his friends leave him, he is left to recreate himself again. I guess you could almost say that it's his fault for making older friends, but we cant chose friends, it just happens. On page 173 Charlie the main character is talking about how he is an outcast again, his friends left and now he is forced to be alone. The main character has really grown since the beginning of his school year, and I think he is okay with being alone and eventually he will make freinds again like he did before. The worst feeling for some people is being alone, while to others it is the best. I feel as if Charlie once enjoyed being alone, not having experienced friendship and companionship. I really hope the book turns out well and he makes new friends, because being alone is the worst feeling once you know what it's like to have friends.
