Book Report

Chbosky, Stephen. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”. NY, New York. MTV books: February1999.

Reason, Type, and setting: This book is a teen diary, and he isn’t really sure of what he is doing most of the time, it’s filled with romance, drama, and also adventure. But this take place around this time era it’s not too far back of the teen age I live in. just like the rest of my book that I read, it was also recommended to me by a friend. I do this because I don’t like reading a book and realizing half way through this book that I don’t like it and it’s a waste of time, so I read books people tell me they think are good.

Plot: In this book the main character’s best friend dies of suicidal murder, and has a hard time with it. In which he has barely started High School, and isn’t very social compared to his older brother and sister. His brother is now in college and playing football, and his sister is a senior and is very popular, plus she is very pretty. He makes some friends by going t one of the school’s football’s game, and which soon become his best friends. There a brother and sister, and smoke cigarettes (they are also seniors). Thy helped him get his first girlfriend, and help him become more social, and had his us and downs that year with those two friends. And even got a little closer with his sister. But at the end of the year I think is the worst because they all move away to o to college, and is back to the same spot were he was in the beginning of the year.

Character: The character I chose is not the main character, but is the one who the main character is secretly in love with. This girls name is Sam, and she has been like the main characters (Charlie) best friend, always giving him advice, showing him how to treat a girl on a date, and even exposing him to drugs. But she told him she also loved but as a friend, which was very for her to do because instead of lying she would hurt him more. Out of the whole book, I thought that Sam was the most realistic, and true type of girl and friend.

Evaluation: I really liked this book, especially because a lot of times, when the writer would put in questions, that I think sometimes to myself. Usually I think if there’s also a person asking themselves the same question, so I guess there are. And I really like it because I think most people could relate to it because they have been through different parts like what the book explained. Especially entering your first year of High School.

Music project

LOST ONES by LAURYN HILL

A song is a short metrical composition intended or adapted for singing, especially one in rhymed stanzas; a lyric. This song I have picked in particular falls under the category of R & B or soul and some kind of funk. My song is written and sang by Lauryn Hill. Most of her influences come from Reggae and Jamaica, since she was married to one Bob Marley sons, but at the same time mixed in with freestyle hip hop/rap.Lauryn Created her album her self except the music beats, she got them from other influences. She was 23 when she created the album and pregnant with her second child. It reflected her personal view and exposes her street persona and attains universality with her simple stories of girlhood.

LYRICS:

It's funny how money change a situation

Miscommunication leads to complication

My emancipation don't fit your equation

I was on the humble, you - on every station

Some wan' play young Lauryn like she dumb

But remember not a game new under the sun

Everything you did has already been done

I know all the tricks from Bricks to KingstonMy ting done made your kingdom wan' run

Now understand L. Boogie's non violent

But if a thing test me, run for mi gun

Can't take a threat to mi newborn son

L's been this way since creation

A groupie call, you fall from temptation

Now you wanna ball over separation

Tarnish my image in your conversation

Who you gon' scrimmage, like you the champion

You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one
Now, now how come your talk turn cold

Gained the whole world for the price of your soul

Tryin' to grab hold of what you can't control

Now you're all floss, what a sight to behold

Wisdom is better than silver and goldI was hopeless now

I'm on Hope roadEvery man want to act like he's exempt

When him need to get down on his knees and repent

Can't slick talk on the day of judgement

Your movement's similar to a serpent

Tried to play straight, how your whole style bent?

Consequence is no coincidence

Hypocrites always want to play innocent

Always want to take it to the full out extent

Always want to make it seem like good intent

Never want to face it when it's time for punishment

I know that you don't wanna hear my opinion

But there come many paths and you must choose one

And if you don't change then the rain soon come

See you might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you really lost one

You just lost one, it's so silly how come

When it's all done did you really gain from

What you done done, it's so silly how come

You just lost one
Now don't you understand man universal law

What you throw out comes back to you, star

Never underestimate those who you scar

Cause karma, karma, karma comes back to you hard

You can't hold God's people back that long

The chain of Shatan wasn't made that strong

Trying to pretend like your word is your bond

But until you do right, all you do will go wrong

Now some might mistake this for just a simple song

And some don't know what they have 'til it's gone

Now even when you're gone you can still be reborn

And, from the night can arrive the sweet dawn

Now, some might listen and some might shun

And some may think that they've reached perfection

If you look closely you'll see what you've become

Cause you might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you really lost one

You just lost one, it's so silly how come

When it's all done did you really gain from

What you done done, it so silly how come

(repeat to end)
