Adapting your book

Something that they would have to keep in the movie version of Perks of being a wallflower would be when Charlie becomes friends with Sam and Patrick. In this part of the book Charlie meets Patrick (nicknamed Nothing) and his friend Sam at a football game. It's his first time going to a football game since his friend died. Charlie sits down next to Patrick and they introduce themselves and then Patrick introduces him to Sam. They would have to keep this part of the book in the movie because Sam and Patrick are main characters, they later help Charlie deal with his depression and Charlie is secretly in love with Sam who says that she is way too old for him.

A second part of the book that they would have to keep in the movie version is when Charlie's friend Michael commited suicide. They would have to keep this because it's what starts out the book and it's one of the causes of Charlie's depression. Michael commited suicide because he didn't have a poisitive home life and he felt like no one was there for him to talk to. This messed Charlie up because Michael was his best friend and he thought it was his fault. He blamed himself for not talking to Michael more or asking him what it was like at home. When Michael commited suicide  he left a note which Charlie later uses in the story as a gift to Patrick during Christmas.

A third part of the book that they would have to keep in the movie version is talking about Aunt Helen. They would have to keep this because it's another cause of Charlie's depression and he often breaks down in a panic attack because of it. Charlie and Aunt Helen were very close and they acted more like best friends then family. She always used to get Charlie more then one present for his birthday or Christmas. She was heading out to the store on a snowy night to go get it and Charlie was the last one to see her. A police officer knocked on their door the next morning saying that she had died in a car accident.

One part that they would have to cut out of the movie would be when Charlie's brother throws a party while their parents are out of town. Charlie was in his room trying to read when a couple came in and asked if he minded that they used it. He said no. The boy kept on taking the girl's clothes off and she kept on saying no. The boy had raped her and Charlie found out what that meant when he was talking to Sam and Patrick. They would have to cut that out of the movie because it is inapporite. A second part that they would have to cut out of the movie would be when Patrick, Sam, and Charlie are putting on a play called Rocky. They would have to cut this part out because Sam's character runs around topless and Charlie's character wears swim shorts. The play is inapporite and there is nudity.

Paper Towns Revenge

This experience will make you feel daring and brave just like Margo and Q are. This package will include many different maps, blue spray paint, a six pack of mountain dew, shaving cream (Veet), Vaseline, a dead fish,  a poetry book and you will need to provide a side kick.

In the middle of Paper Towns Margo gets mad at her friends for spreading rumors about her and one of them went out with her boyfriend while they were dating, so she seeks revenge. She does this many different ways and each person gets their own dose of revenge. The revenge will have to be done in one night, you can’t get caught and you have to be back at home before the sun rises, those are the rules. Once you have completed a part of your revenge you can show them who did it by using the blue spray pain. “Margo leaned over the desk and calmly shook the spray pain. In an elegant motion she spray-painted the letter M onto the wall above the desk.” Each of the items above can be used to formulate your revenge except for the mountain dew and poetry book, those are just for energy and entertainment.

At one part of the revenge your sidekick should be pick out their own victim just as Q did. He chose someone who bullied him all through high school. When you do this prank you must be as quiet as possible. You should get into the victims house and put the Vaseline on all of the door knobs inside and out. Make sure you lather the door or window with it too, whichever one you want to escape out of. Then you go back to the victim and rub the Veet onto one of their eyebrows and wait a few seconds then take your finger and wipe it off. If you have waited long enough then all of the hair should come off of their face. “I wrapped my hand in my T-shirt, as she’d told me to do, leaned forward, and-as softly as I could- pressed my finger against his forehead and then quickly wiped away the Veet. With it came every last hair that had been Chuck Parson’s right eyebrow.”

                Another revenge that you can do requires the dead fish or something else that smells just as bad. Once you have the dead fish and the spray paint, decide where you want to put the fish, good places include their house or their car. You should bring some sort of pickpocketing device in case the car is locked; if you are going to go through the victim’s window then you don’t need one. “Together we pulled the backseat up. Margo slipped the fish underneath it, and then she counted to three, in one motion we slammed the seat down on the fish. I heard the disgusting sound of catfish guts exploding.” When you go to the victim’s home make sure they are asleep before you enter through their window or door. You should hide the fish somewhere the victim would look at every day but not in plain sight. “Margo hid the fish between folded pair of shorts in Beca’s closet.” Once you have placed the fish in the hiding spot you can leave a note, this is optional and it would relieve your identity. “A message from Margo Roth Spiegelman: Your friendship with her-it sleeps with the fishes.”

                This package will let fans of the book experience the same thrill and excitement that Q and Margo felt as they were getting revenge. I think this will attract attention to the book because it sparks the interest of people and they will want to find out what other prank Margo and Q pulled besides the ones listed here.
