Analysis Of The Book ' Don 't Judge A Boy '

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go to a new school with no friends and a different face? To have everyone look at you and make a repelling face? That’s what it was like for August Pullman in the 5th grade. Auggie is different that everybody else in 5th grade. Auggie was born with a facial deformity so he looks different that other people he has had 27 so far in his life. Auggie goes to a school called Beecher Prep. In my opinion Beecher Prep has had a positive effect on Auggie’s life because now he has made more friends like Summer, Jack Will, Max G, Max W, and Reid. Sometimes it is hard for auggie to fit in when people like julian step into the picture, but overall Beecher Prep has made Auggie’s life a little easier.

The first part of this chapter celebrates youthful "innocence" in a satirical, humorous, and proud tone. With respect, fear and admiration, the society of boys gape at Auggie's forbidden trophy, the apricot. Auggie holds pride in the small green ball. The passage humorously correlates the theft of the apricot to religion, calling the group of boys a "religious sect," with August, who had the power to steal the fruit with his own hand, their "religious leader." The apricot is admired so much by Ulysses that he "ran for home... eager to tell someone." This scene has a rather humorous aspect about it, due to the exaggerated importance and intense interest in this one, small, barely consequential object. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Ara comes out of his shop. Immediately, he is described as a funny, yet melancholy type of man. He jokes and dotes upon his toddler son in a way

“‘The main thing I have is this thing called man-di-bu-lo-facial dys-os-tosis-which took me forever to learn how to pronounce, by the way.’” Because he has a face that not many think of as comforting, he has lived most of his life ashamed of the way he looks. As the book progresses, however, Auggie learns that looks aren’t as important as they seem. He learns this with the help of his friends and family. Auggie’s friends have helped him have a better experience at Beecher Prep by sitting with him at lunch and talking to him.

Before Auggie went to school, he didn’t want anyone to see his face because he was embarrassed by it. An example of this is shown in part one on Auggie’s first day of school, where he said, “I went straight to room 301 on the third floor. Now I was glad I’d gone on that little tour, because I knew exactly where to go and didn’t have to look up once.” This shows Auggie was very shy and ashamed of his face before he started school. In part six of Wonder, Auggie stated, ““Did you know the guy who created Ugly dolls based them on me.” Then she to Ellie and some of the other girls what I had just said, and they all thought it was funny, too.” This quote shows Auggie was becoming less shy and more outgoing, which created a positive impact on his

August Pullman is a 10-year-old boy who has a mandibulofacial dysostosis. Which causes his face to appear different. Because of Auggie’ appearance, people a very unkind to him. Auggie has gotten 27 surgeries to help him with his facial deformity. He lives with his parents, his older sister Via, and his dog Daisy.

On the tour, he meets Jack Will, Charlotte, and Julian. Jack Will was the kind kid, but Julian was really mean to

Imagine that you are a young child with a parent that just walked out. You are learning to deal with your other parents constant complaints or crying as well as how to become more self reliant to stay out of your parents hair.

Most people have been taught since a very young age to never judge a book by its cover. However, in the movie The Breakfast Club, judging seems to be occurring a lot. The Breakfast Club is about a group of teenagers who have received detention on a Saturday afternoon. While in detention, the students learn a lot about each other that they otherwise didn’t know before. After watching this movie an individual learns that they cannot judge a book by its cover- in other words, no one can judge another character based solely on an appearance.

Each character in the book House Rules is brought to life. Emma is the mother of both Jacob and Theo; she is the foundation of the book because she makes both her sons who they are. Although Theo is a little rebellious and gets a crumb of her attention, he has still turned out to be a reliable brother. One can notice her passion towards the happiness of Jacob. Jodi Picoult brings Jacob’s character and illness alive, revealing both greatest and poorer qualities of Jacob. The twist to the story exhibits that Jacob is much more than his ailment and cares for his family. The author glued all the pieces of the book perfectly. House Rules made my heart beat a little faster when Jacob was suffering in jail and resorted to inflicting pain on him and made my visage change expression. At the same time, it made me laugh when Jacob waved his right hand when the judge asked him if he knew what it meant to waive his rights. A lot of Jacobs’s humor is related to the behaviors that are included with Asperger syndrome. Jacob always quotes song lyrics and lines from movies because it calms and an exit to run to. It is hilarious how he literally takes situations. Once, Jacob’s attorney expresses that if he needs a sensory break, he should "pass a note". Furthermore, Jacob passes a note that says "F#"(F sharp). Moreover, another captivating aspect of Jacob is his obsession with forensics. Though it is this fixation that ultimately gets him in trouble, he provides interesting facts and eleven

In the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio, Auggie shows insecurity by being antisocial, hiding his face, and blaming his looks on everything that goes wrong. When his sister Via had a school play, she didn’t invite Auggie because she thought he would be bored but Auggie thought his sister didn’t invite him because he was deformed. “You think I don’t know what’s going on? You just don’t want your fancy little friends to find out your brother is a freak” (Auggie 218). According to this quote, August is insecure because he didn’t get invited to sister’s play and blamed it on his appearance right away instead of considering other possibilities. Another example of August’s insecurity is when he almost missed what ended up being the best thing that ever happened in his life. He explained “Via, I don’t think I should go to the campout. What’s the point? I won’t make any friends because everyone will scream and run away from me. I know I would if I saw someone who looked like me” (Auggie 263). This quote shows how insecure he is because

In the chapter “Costumes”, Auggie describes the astronaut helmet that he wore constantly as a younger child--to Miranda, the one to give Auggie the helmet, Auggie’s father, who threw it away, and Auggie and his friends each interpret Auggie’s astronaut helmet itself in contrasting ways. First of all, Miranda gave the astronaut helmet as a gift to Auggie years ago when Auggie was experiencing life throughout his early years; the astronaut helmet signifies assistance and friendship to Auggie. When Auggie was given the astronaut helmet, Miranda was aware that the many pedestrians on the street would give Auggie unfavorable reactions upon seeing his face--as a result, Miranda felt the need to aid Auggie with his uncomfortableness with his facial

The book is written in several points of view. The unique voice of all these characters make the book more interesting and important. We get to see the feelings of each character as they interact with Auggie. When you read this book you start thinking as if you were in other people's shoes. What if I were… August? Jack? Summer? Auggie’s parents? Via? Julian? What would I do? How would I act? To discuss these questions and encourage answers is a tremendous learning opportunity for students.
