[Perks of Being a Wallflower] Vocabulary

So this week as I read my novel I choose to focus on the vocabulary of the text. Something I found that was very helpful as a reader was the simplicity of the text. I think it is something appreciable because the concepts that the book is encompassing are harder to grasp. The author, Stephen Chbosky, writes how a teenager would speak which makes it simple and relatable for the suggested audience.

I believe one of the main reasons that this book has become a phenomenon is the how the author shows the real endeavors of life through his remarkable choices of words. This also includes his use of syntax, diction, and rhetoric techniques. As I had mentioned before, I feel as if this book shows a component of the meaning of life (I know that’s deep) but keeps it understandable to everyone. Even if they are young and naïve, or mature and experienced, this novel becomes an eye-opening experience for everyone.
