In the passage, Helen’s brother talks to the reader through a journal which both describes the situation he has confronted and his feelings about what has happened. He uses “I” as a narrator in the story which is himself and the style of writing is familiar with the way people telling someone stories; it directs to the reader. For example, he writes “And now comes the part you probably won’t believe, but… I didn’t go to the meeting.” The reader can feel that the message is sent directly to whoever read it; he suddenly wants to approach to whoever read his diary. As the reader knows since the beginning, Helen tries to find the reason why her brother commits suicide, so the narrative style can pull us into the detective mode in the same way as Helen.

His letters give us an intimate look into his life, his thoughts, his hopes, his fears, and his fragile mental state.

However, through these letters (and with help from his English teacher), Charlie develops his writing skills and, in the end, he realizes he wants to become a writer. When asked about his relationship with the character, Stephen Chbosky confirmed that he somehow relates to Charlie because he does “see life the way Charlie does”.

Her father was seen reading The Great Gatsby which alludes to the theme of desiring something that one cannot have (Bechdel 61). By showing her father reading this book, Bechdel alludes to the point that her father, like Gatsby, was a mystery and hid behind secret identities, but the books he read gave insight into his feelings of sexual tension. While books were a suppression for her father, Alison found that books helped express her sexuality.
