Charlie Evan Biography
Charles Evan was born in Los Angeles, California on May 15, 1990 to Samuel and Diana Dalca.

Born in the lap of luxury, Charlie Dalca had more than any child could ask for. Since the day of his birth, he had been spoiled a greal deal and this only continued as he got older. There was only one thing Charlie truly craved, but couldn't have, and that was his parents attention. Sam and Diana were both highly sought after criminal lawyers and therefore much of their time was spent away from home, and away from Charlie himself. Charlie was left to be raised by various nannies, though it never bothered him too much.

He excelled in his studies, he was polite to others, he strayed from trouble and most of all, he did nothing that would hurt the family name. He could do anything he pleased, so long as he didn't step out of line.

It wasn't until high school that the need to be utterly perfect eventually began to weigh Charlie down. He found himself caring less about his parents approval and slowly his attention shifted more towards friends and partying. He was now sixteen and dating Sloan Cole (his best friends sister) and so he spent almost every waking moment with his girlfriend.

Things changed when, a year later, Sloan announced she was pregnant. Charlie knew this would not sit well with his parents, but he wanted Sloan and their child. When he refused to leave Sloan, Charlie was told he was no longer welcome at home.
On the day of his sons birth, Charlie was told that Sloan had left and would not be returning. Though heartbroken, Charlie decided to keep his son who he would later name Alexander. His refusal to adopt Alexander out was met with fury, and both Dalca parents thought it best Charlie and his son leave and go to Boston, where family would be waiting to take them

    In the beginning of the film, Charlie struggles with making friends in the first couple of days of his freshman year. Charlie adapts and interacts well with people and is able to make friends easily and quickly. Chbosky portrays this idea in the wide angle shot of the large crowd in the football game, when Charlie approached Patrick and says “Hey Patrick”. "Hey, you're in my shop class”, says Patrick. Eventually Charlie is told to sit next to him and they continue their friendly conversation and with time meets a girl named Sam. From then onwards they made good friends and was later introduced to more people. Chbosky highlights the fact that Charlie becomes easily able to seek a conversation with someone in front of a large crowd, from which then lead to an invitation to his first ever party. At the party Charlie became emotional after realising the fact that he was being noticed and appreciated by the group of his presence. Patrick raised his drink and asked everyone to do the same. “To Charlie” and the whole group said, “To Charlie". Chbosky shows in the wide shot angle of when Charlie was drinking his milkshake and sitting on a lower level than his two other friends, that he has become recognised by the group, being the centre of attention by being himself, he gains the trust of others and is told important secrets compared to his original life. Charlie demonstrates the benefits of being a wallflower…
