Identify the details in the painting.
What do you think they symbolize? -There are some legs without showing the whole body, but in the back of the cover there are some pictures with him standing face forward hiding his eyes, other one trying to not listen and the last one standing back.
For me they symbolize a person with trust issues because of the way his hiding his emotions and also because they use black and white filter on the photos, it gives a sad look.
Write 3 sentences about the plot of the novel based on the book cover
- Charlie is a kid who has lost his friends by terrible accidents. He's just about to start high school and he's scared of being alone. He will find some good friends that will bring nice memories to his life.
With knowledge of the plot, quick write a paragraph discussing your interpretations of the details and colors of the cover. What do you think the cover represents after you read the book?
-I found the cover kind of odd because of the color they used, its a greenish color, kinda yellowish too, it attracts your attention, but when you see it, it's like you are not interested anymore on it. The photo of the kid's legs shows that he's shy, and the photos on the back shows that he has problems with his self-esteem.
I guess they chose that color because charlie at the begging of the book was like the book said, a wallflower, he was a shy guy, no friends, weird.. But then he starts to change and everything changes to.
For the cover I would use a black background with a white-faded silhouette standing looking down, and a bunch of black-white-faded silhouettes standing on the back.
