Answer
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen ChboskybrbrA trite comingofage novel that could easily appeal to a YA readership, filmmaker Chboskys debut broadcasts its intentions with the publishers announcement that ads will run on MTV. Charlie, the wallflower of the title, goes through a veritable bath of bathos in his th grade year, . The novel is formatted as a series of letters to an unnamed quotfriend,quot the first of which reveals the suicide of Charlies pal Michael. Charlies responsevalid enoughis to cry. The crying soon gets out of hand, thoughin subsequent letters, his father, his aunt, his sister and his sisters boyfriend all become lachrymose. Charlie has the usual dire adolescent problemssex, drugs, the thuggish football teamand they perplex him in the usual teen TV ways. ... Into these standard teenage issues Chbosky infuses a droning insistence on Charlies supersensitive disposition. Charlies English teacher and others have a disconcerting tendency to rhapsodize over Charlies giftedness, which seems to consist of Charlies unquestioning assimilation of the teachers taste in books. In the end we learn the root of Charlies psychological problems, and we confront, with him, the coming rigors of th grade, ever hopeful that hell find a suitable girlfriend and increase his vocabulary. brbrThe Catcher in the Rye by J.D. SalingerbrbrSince his debut in as The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with quotcynical adolescent.quot Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteenyearold life, just after hes been expelled from prep school, in a slang that sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel on banned book lists. It begins, quotIf you really want to hear about it, the first thing youll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I dont feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them.quot His constant wry observations about what he encounters, from teachers to phonies the two of course are not mutually exclusive capture the essence of the eternal teenage experience of alienation.
