The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Knowledge
Charlie, Sam, and Patrick are the main characters.
Sam and Patrick are step-siblings and Charlie is their younger friend that they take under their wings.
The story takes place in or around Pittsburgh, PA in 1991 and 1992. The places the characters experience are real places (Charlie’s brother going to Penn State, the parks they hang around) and the years are obvious because of the journal entries.
One of the events that took place that was pretty significant was when Charlie, Sam, Patrick, and 3-4 of their friend’s have a gift exchange around Christmas. They were all given one person’s name to buy a few presents for beforehand and at the party they had to try and guess who was their “Secret Santa.” The presents they bought for one another were all perfect fits for the character’s personalities.

In the story, Charlie’s sister gets pregnant, with just some guy, gets an abortion, and all without anyone finding out (other than Charlie and the other guy.) If I were in this situation, I’d probably want to hide it for a long time, but I would never get an abortion. Period. No matter what events led to the formation of the child, I would, under no circumstances, get an abortion.
