    Abstract

    The present study entitled Shrinking Violet: Media Role in Identity Construction
    in Stephen Chbosky 's The Perks of Being a Wallflower focuses on the issue of
    identity construction and media role on the main character of the story. The study
    investigates the main character's, Charlie, identity construction in the novel and
    the contribution of media role, particularly print-rich environment, in the
    construction of Charlie's identity. The study is conducted within a descriptive text
    analysis by applying a qualitative method and is framed by theoretical
    frameworks such as identity theory (Hall, 2000) and young adult literature (Nilsen
    & Donelson, 2001 ). The results demonstrate that Charlie's identity is constructed
    through two different contexts. These contexts are 'home and family' context and
    'school and friends' context which also stimulates changes in Charlie's identity.
    The study also finds that there are roles of print-rich environment play to the
    construction of Charlie's identity: as a tool of literacy and critical thinking
    improvement as well as a bibliotherapy which is aimed to be a self-coping
    problem through reading books.
