From perks of being a wallflower, is charlie sympathetic. If so, can you please give me an example how he is sympathetic.

Question

I am reading a book for English class and now we are writing an essay. I'm trying to come up with an example on how charlie is a sympathetic person but can't. So I'm asking you for help. Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Charlie is a shy and caring person but also has a lot of guilt.  He is extremely thoughtful, and this leads him to very good and very bad places. He sees things, and he understands, he's a wallflower.  He's also a loving guy, who takes good care of his friends.  Charlie portrays Helen as an extremely loving and caring woman.  However, later in the book we learn that she was actually an extremely disturbed woman who routinely molested Charlie - explaining his social awkwardness, breakdowns and supressed memories.  One day when he was in middle school, the principal announced over the PA system that his best friend, Michael, had passed away.  He attended sessions with the guidance counselor to help deal with Michael's death.  During a session, the guidance counselor suggested that maybe Michael had no one to talk to and felt alone, leading to his assumed death of "Suicide" and Charlie proceeded to cry and scream, saying that he could have talked to him.  They were unable to control him and had to call his older brother to pick him up.  From that day on for the rest of the school year, the teachers have treated him differently; they gave him better grades, even though Charlie observed that he didn't get any smarter.
