The Perks Of Being A Wallflower: Book And Movie

The book and the film were both simular, and yet different in many ways. An example would be, in the film, Ponyboy was walking to the drive-in and meeting Cherri and Marcia. Although in the book, Ponyboy began his journey by telling the readers about his experience about being jumped by the Socs and being threatened. The director probably had some options to pick from to leave out from the movie, and the director chosed this to leave out. Leaving out the part where Ponyboy was jumped was an effective move because without the experience Ponyboy was lost and helpless because he did not know what to do when he and Johnny got cornered in the park by Bob and other Socs.

Two mediums used to produce The Outsider are compared using the advantages and disadvantages of both the movie and the novel. First the movie is more visual and the novel requires you have to use your imagination. In the movie you can see what the characters look like and you can see what happens to them. For example Dally got shot by the cops, or Johnny rescuing the kids and getting injured.

In The Perks of being a Wallflower, the author uses interpersonal conflict to educate the reader that when times are rigid you can still get through the negativity. For example the story first introduces this type of conflict when Charlie explains the suicide of his best friend, Michael. He goes on to say, “But Dave with the awkward glasses told us that Michael killed hisself”, and “I don’t really remember much of what happened after that, except that my older brother came to Mr. Vaughn’s office in my middle school and told me to stop crying”. This tragic event sparks an interpersonal conflict with Charlie and his past.

Although he experiences conflicts that happens now, the ones from the past still haunt him. Additionally, the death of his aunt is another internal conflict.

It’s not entirely focused on the negative circumstances, but in attempt to represent teens and portray a message, clashes occur, so the whole purpose of the film and effect on the public is
