Why is Charlie's story able to be related to on such a deep level? Personally, I didn't quite know how this was, but I knew why. Even though I haven't experienced these certain experiences in my life yet, I can connect to them on a different level. Some would say a more basic level, but I would say on a more important level. As a reader, that's what makes the most difference in grasping the intentions of the characters ideas and actions.
Specifically, there is one part of the novel where Charlie talks about the poem that he had read to Patrick. It is a heart-wrenching note of a kid’s suicide note. The thing that I felt was ironic is that it connected to Charlie in a way. This is because he could have chosen the same path that the kid from the note had chosen because of his best friend’s death. But instead he gets himself out of a certain darkness to enter high school by meeting friends that honestly care about him. I have never experienced anything to that great of an extent but from a similar situation, I understand how difficult it must have been for Charlie to get himself to the place he is at now.
