Lockie is no different. When he falls in love, he is dumbfounded. He explains what falling for Dot feels like, saying that “….. he was barking mad… and leglessly in love”.

Lockie Leonard, the novel written by Tim Winton, is a false representation of the way teenagers act in today’s society. It is not a relatable book for young teenagers as the book claims that all teenagers would act the same way as Lockie. In the book it explains about a 12 year old boy has fallen in love. This book is trying to represent how all teenagers act and it is too predictable for it to be real as there are many surprises in life. This book should not be a recommendation for young people.

As a 16 year old, I am always watching chick flicks that will make you laugh until your cheeks hurt, but will also put more tears in your eyes than you knew possible. However, the movie Perks of Being a Wallflower has stood above the rest.

These words have lingered in my mind since the day I heard them, and I am now a firm believer that I accept the love I think I deserve. My sophomore year consisted of me, along with thousands of other girls, getting what I, at the time, believed to be heartbroken.

This movie digs deep into the role of high school stereotyping, but still keeps a warm comedic feel to it. At the start of the movie, each character has there own “clique” they are apart of. While in detention the characters
