Alice Charlie Monologue

Improved Essays

Other people in the park thought he tried raping the woman and the tried to get him, which only made the situation worst. But luckily, Charlie got away fast enough. I think this is another prime example of how sexually immature Charlie really is. This has a lot to do with the way his mother treated him about girls and his body when he was
