The perks of being a wallflower/stephen chbosky

characterization of sam
Sam is "a very pretty girl"(p,19)and has "a very nice smile"(p,19)
She has "very brown hair and very very pretty green eyes"(p,19).
"I thought Sam was very pretty and nice, and she was the first girl I ever wanted to ask on a date someday when i can drive"(p,20)
I am wondering about the relationship between charlie and sam.
They are friend now but are they going to go out?
I hope they do because Charlie really likes her and Sam knows about it.
I'm very excited about it.

The perks of being a wallflower characterization

Charlie is a protagonist in the story.
He cried about his friend's death a lot in the first letter. He even screamed about it.
"Especially in that office because I was crying still. I never did stop crying," (p,4).
"Then, I started screaming at the guidance counselor that Michael could have talked to me. And I started crying even harder,"(p,4).
When Charlie doesn't stop asking what is up with his aunt, his father slapped him and Charlie cried.
"I don't remember much more than that because I started crying really hard..."(p6)
From these quotes I guess he's very emotional.

Soul Taker : final entry

Lewis realizes that Ladslow swindles him and Jennie to make dolls.
Ladslow tries to take Lewis' and Jennie's "souls" for his dolls, but Ladslow is beaten by Lewis and his strong will.
Ladslow dies and everything turns allright. Happy ending.

I think the major theme of this book is "Good can come out of bad."
Afterall, Ladslow helps Lewis to change from the worst to the best. If it was not him, things would not be changed.
Other themes can be don't trust people too much, or "a deal is a deal."
or you can change yourself if you have enough strong will to do that.
Lewis and Jennie are still together even Ladslow dies.
Ladslow says he did help to shape a good life for Lewis but Lewis and Jennie denied that.
I'm starting to think that maybe it is because of Lewis' effort that he has changed to the best him.
I enjoyed this book very much. I like Lewis and how he has changed.

Soul Taker: ch 6 to ch 8

Lewis James starts to change. He gets kiss from Jennie, his dream girl.
He has "flat belly" and "well muscled thigh." because he trains himself like "sit-up" and "press-up" "running round the block" and "riding his bycycle to school."
Ross, his bully, is surprised about Lewis body's solidness and stops bullying him.
He starts to go out with Jennie and he becomes a part of the popular group.
Everything comes out fine to Lewis.

I think this is weird. I think this goes too quickly and too well for Lewis.
I never tried to lose weight seriously but from what I heard, it is not that easy to get good muscled body.
Lewis is changing like one or two month. I can't help but suspect that Ladslow helps him in many ways.
I hope Lewis realize that and be causcious about how generous Ladslow is.

Soul Taker Ch1-2 characterization of Lewis James

His face is "round and white"(P.1)
He has red hair.
His "fingers like sausages"(P.7)
His classmates call him "Fatso" "tubs" or "lard boy".(P.7)
He's out of the popular group.
The girl he likes has already boyfriend.
They are both in the popular group and Lewis is not.
His father disdains him. Calling him "Great fat pudding" "human dustbin" (p.16)

I think this family is a mess.
First of all, Lewis is fat partly, I think, because his mother gives him fish and chips every friday. (P.17)
Second, his father hates his son and doesn't do anything about his son's problem at all.
His attitude makes Lewis just feel more miserable and lose self-confidence.
Lewis says that he will give anything to change his lonely sad life without hesitation.
That means he hates himself and wants changes desperately. He has nothing.

I think he is sick mentally. He should go and see doctors to get his confidence back.

Soul taker/ Celia Rees :basic information

Characters: Lewis James, Jennie Mitchell, Victor Ladslow
Setting: Ladslow’s toy shop and Lewis’ house
Plot: Overweight and unpopular Lewis doesn't like his miserable life. Mr. Ladslow helps Lewis to change his life.

I thought Lewis is a perfect person for changes. He is unpopular and overweighted. I don't know about his grade but his life can't get any worse. His life seems to be hopeless.
I'm very excited how Lewis will change, what is going to happen to him and how Mr. Ladslow will help him to change his life.
Mr. Ladslow can use crystal or talot cards to see things like future.
I think that means he has some magical skills and I guess they will affect Lewis somehow.

I can't wait to see the end of the story.
