Before Reading:
Teacher perspective-
1) What is a wallflower?
2) If I could understand what a wallflower is, than I could come up with some "perks" of being one.
Reader perspective-
A wallflower is someone who stands at the edge of the dance floor with their backs pressed up against the wall so that they are not seen. The person wants to make an appearance or they were forced into coming to the dance or else they would have stayed home. A wallflower is probably someone who is considered unpopular or extremely smart. Maybe termed as a social outcast. The term "wallflower" is a metaphor for an actual flower that hangs/ sits on the wall that is not always noticed or cared for, but is important to the mood of the home area that it inhabits.
The perks of being this person are the outsider view. Instead of being part of the action, the person is viewing the action and know everything that is constantly going on. This could also have draw backs, say if you were witnessing crime or violent act, and the person believed that they were destined to be this wallflower...
This brings up a question: If you are considered to be a wallflower can you break that stereotype?
