In the novel Charlie confronted a fair amount of conflicts. For example, Charlie had to deal with the internal conflict that his Aunt died well going to get him a birthday present, that his best friend died because he had no one to talk to, and Charlie tried to always be there, Charlie loved Sam and wanted to be with her more than anything, and but didnt want to express his feelings to do what she told him to. Charlie also dealt with conflict between other people, like when he beat up the kid in the cafeteria, when Charlie and his girlfriend Mary Elizabeth broke up and he upset all of their friends, When Charlie helped Patrick fight kids at school, and when Charlie and his sister got in a fight after Charlie told his parents about her boyfriend hitting her.
All of the conflicts were resovled by the end of the novel, Charlie learned the truth about his aunt Helen, Charlie got his chance with Sam, and fixed all the relationships that had been damaged because of conflicts. The ending of the novel was Charlie waking up in the hospital after being with Sam the night before. Charlie is not well and has gone into the place that he talked about thoughout the novel....where he doesnt understand why he is thinking or doing what he is doing; he feels unreal and like he is in a dream. I didnt expect anything different for Charlie; and to me this ending was realistic and believable. Charlie is a individual with many problems that he has not dealt with, and these problems have taken a tole on his mental health.
In the end, I really did like my book. It was real, and you could feel like you were talking directly with Charlie. It is relatable, because Charlie deals with conflicts that many teenagers may deal with concerning trying to find them selves in the confusing times known as growing up
