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.
