Body Paragraph 1: The Safety of Observation Initially, Charlie uses his status as a wallflower as a defense mechanism. Traumatized by the death of his Aunt Helen and the suicide of his friend Michael, Charlie withdraws. He writes, “I am trying to not be a wallflower, but I am a wallflower,” acknowledging his inability to connect.
