The 2012 Film The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The only person the narcissist will ever pity or feel sorry for is him/herself. If the narcissist believes he/she can get away with doing something (even if it's illegal, immoral, or will hurt someone), he/she will do it. At different times, many high profile individuals are classified as a narcissist in the media. The movie “The Wolf Of Wall Street” demonstrates how a rapid success leads to the narcissistic behavior. “Feel good” holiday movies, usually focus on traditional family values of heroism whereas Martin Scorsese in his film “The Wolf of Wall Street,” does the opposite. The movie focus on lavish life of Jordan but it was a true satire for an individual exploring quick fortune and shortcut of getting rich. Although many critics

The film Silver Linings Playbook, starring Bradley Cooper, is set in Philadelphia as he plays the main character Patrick “Pat” Solitano Jr., a diagnosed bipolar who was released from a mental institution and later moves back to his parents. According to the Mayo Clinic website, there are two types of bipolar disorders: Bipolar I and Bipolar II. Bipolar I is about experiencing manic episodes, and this can cause a significant impairment in the person’s life such as difficulty at work, social activities, or relationships. This could also cause to trigger a break from reality. Bipolar II deals with depressive episodes, but have never experienced manic episodes and this can cause distress or difficulty in areas of the person’s life such as decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, or distractibility (mayoclinic.org).

During his therapy, he takes Dr. Patel further back to where it all started before the major incident took place that led to his confinement in the mental institution. Patrick calls the police because he thought that his wife Nikki and the history teacher were plotting against him by embezzling money from the school. However, it turns out that these are just his delusions which infer that this is completely false. There were several visible symptoms that were

A coming of age story mainly focuses on the development of a character from the beginning to end. It can be a variety of things such as transitioning from a teenager to an adult, but during the development, many adventures and painful lessons are learned. Charlie Kelmeckis from the novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower written by Stephen Chbosky, and Scotty Smalls from the film The Sandlot directed by David Evans, represent the metamorphic transitions of the mind, body, and soul which all take part in a coming of age.

In Chbosky’s Perks of Being a Wallflower , Brad battles an internal conflict of being judged for dating Patrick or to keep his reputation and ignore Patrick. Brad ultimately resolves this conflict by choosing his friends over Patrick, publicly humiliating Patrick, and telling Charlie to apologize for him after; however, this choice also illustrates his true character as both meek but also remorseful .

Try to imagine a young adult fiction novel of today that will still be read by youth readers in fifty years. Some popular names might come to mind, such as the coveted The Hunger Games, The Fault in Our Stars, or Divergent. Though these may be widespread in the hands of young adult readers today, they probably will not stand the test of time in the way that The Outsiders, written by S. E. Hinton in 1967, has. Although they are enjoyable(passive voice), they do not possess many realistic qualities. For example, society does not live in a world that watches children fight to the death as a main source of entertainment, like the world is described in The Hunger Games. The Outsiders, which was produced by and intended for teenagers, instead is

Sometimes the opinion can be formed based on how you view the person, or sometimes it can be formed by the opinions of parents and/or society. It can lead to people disliking or even hating each other, creating many conflicts. Through reading the books The Outsiders by: S. E. Hinton, Divergent by: Veronica Roth, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by: John Boyne it is clear that there is a common theme of misunderstanding people based on the views of society.
