![]() ![]() Another small similarity is the fact that they are close to their English teachers. Unlike the Perks, which is written in letter form, Spud is written as journal entries. Spud and Charlie share a similar way of thinking and their situations are closely related, in terms of the fact that they are both learning about themselves and the world around them. I definitely saw similarites, although few, between Spud and the Perks. I haven't read Catcher in the Rye though, so I wouldn't know. I think it's been described somewhere (I can't remember exactly where) as the South African Catcher in the Rye. I almost want to say that this is sort of like The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Other than that, there isn't much more similarity. Except, I go to a nearby(ish) school and Spud is at a boarding school in South Africa in the 1990s, at the time of apartheid. We both go to all boys schools and have to dress in pointless dress codes. Mainly the school aspect, which is pretty much the entire book. I decided to read Spud because it is sort of like my situation. ![]()
