TASK TWO: Wallflowers

This task has two parts. First, before going any further, go to our on-line forum and finish this sentence: "A wallflower is..."

"he's something, isn't he?"

"he's a wallflower."

OK. Now, for the second part of this task, read the brief passage below. It is from the scene where Charlie has just been introduced to the crowd at Bob's party. Patrick is talking to Bob:

"He's something, isn't he?"

Bob nodded his head. Patrick then said something I don't think I'll ever forget.

"He's a wallflower."

And Bob really nodded his head. And the whole room nodded their head. And I started to feel real nervous in the Bob way, but Patrick didn't let me get too nervous. He sat down next to me.

"You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand."

Does being a wallflower put someone outside of the norm? Does a wallflower operate on the fringes of the social fabric of his or her school or town?

Now, go back to our on-line forum and respond!
