The Perks End--Part II


Part II: Quotes

1. “I would die for you. But I won’t live for you” –  This quote from the book not only illuminates the overall literary work, but it shows how Charlie needs to live his own life and be less passive when it comes to important decisions and things he wants in his life, for example the love of Sam.

2. “We accept the love we think we deserve.” – This specific quote from the novel illustrates that Charlie may not feel like he is deserving of true love. In a broader sense people feel like they are undeserving of love or cannot be truly loved because of who they are, for example, appearance, race, education, etc.

3. “Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life” – This quote from the story is very saddening, by showing how people, such as, Charlie use their own thoughts whether they be good, bad, or both to not participate in everyday life. Another perspective that could be taken from this quote is suicide. Many people give up on life because they allow their thoughts to take control and see the worst in things and feel no need to continue on.
