A story can be 'kinda funny' when there are unexpected elements. For example, if someone is expecting a normal day at work but then their boss shows up dressed as a clown. The sudden deviation from the norm makes it funny.
Humor often comes from the absurdity in a story. If things happen in a way that defies normal expectations, like a cat acting like a dog, it can be 'kinda funny'. Also, self - deprecating humor in a story where someone makes fun of themselves in a light - hearted way can also contribute to it being 'kinda funny'.
One book related could be the novel 'It's Kinda a Funny Story' itself by Ned Vizzini. It's a great read that delves into the life of a teen dealing with mental health issues in a very real and relatable way.
The friendships in the story can be metaphorically compared to bridges. They are connections that help the main character cross from one state of being to another. For instance, when he makes new friends in the hospital, these relationships act as a support system, just as a bridge helps one cross a difficult terrain. They help him move towards a better understanding of himself and his situation.
I think there may be a misunderstanding as the term 'charters' doesn't seem to have an obvious meaning in relation to this story. Maybe it was a typo? If we consider the characters instead, they are significant as they drive the plot. For instance, Craig's relationships with his friends and family change throughout the story as he grows.
Figurative language in 'It's Kinda a Funny Story' can include metaphors. For example, the main character might describe his feelings as a dark cloud. This helps the reader better understand his internal state of depression. It makes the abstract concept of his mood more tangible.
One example of figurative language is when the author describes the hospital as a 'labyrinth of white walls'. This is a metaphor that gives the sense of the hospital being a confusing and somewhat intimidating place, as a labyrinth is difficult to navigate.
Well, if by 'charters' you mean some sort of official documents or agreements within the context of 'It's Kinda a Funny Story', there are none that I recall. The story mainly focuses on the personal growth of the main character, Craig. It's about his experiences in the hospital and how he interacts with the other patients and staff.
