Analysis Of The Book ' Wonder '

He was really happy that he can finally go to public school but yet he was nervous.When Auggie was born, he was not like any other kids he was different from all the other people so that kinda made his life hard for him because he had a rare sickness that does not often happens but for Auggie it happened to him. He thought that was not fair for this to happen to him and not anyone else.When he was born that is when it started for him.In the book it says this “ I know I’m not a ordinary ten-year-old-kid.” (pg.3)

His facial difference was his main struggle in life. An example of Auggie demonstrating the May precept from Mr.Browne was when he chose not to report the 7th graders who were using firecrackers, bullied Auggie physically and verbally, and took his hearing aids (even though the teachers found out anyway). In the same situation, Auggie wanted to run away from the 7th grade bullies, but he stayed, because he didn’t want to leave Jack behind. More than enough times, Auggie always put up with Julian’s bullying and mean notes, and he never told a teacher. He was never rude when he noticed people staring at him excessively, or looking away when they saw him. Auggie was always very good at being good to everyone he

Julian's chapter is really surprising if you read the first book. It's no spoiler that in the first book, “Wonder”, Julian doesn't like Auggie too much, he portrays a bully. He put mean notes in his locker, he made a game called the pledge, so if you touch Auggie or anything he touched you would have the pledge. Julian also turned everyone against Auggie, you can tell he was a mean kid to Auggie. When Julian got his class picture he made sure that his picture to not have Auggie in it. In his chapter he says, “I hope you’re planning on burning that” to his mom and he meant it. You would not believe what he really thinks of Auggie though, you'll just have to read his chapter to find out.

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

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.

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.

Auggie was born with Treacher Collins syndrome and a Cleft Palate. After multiple surgeries, his Cleft Palate is mostly gone and the Treacher Collins Syndrome is better than what it was. According to the book, “When I came out of my Mom’s, she said the whole

“‘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.

That means when he was born, he came out with a deformed face. Therefore, that doesn't stop August the way he is, Auggie he is a hilarious joyful kid. August though has been dealing with many difficult times in his life. Even though kids at Beecher Prep change their minds about August, most of them bullied August because they judged his appearance, they were following

I think that Auggie’s experience at Beecher Prep was a good one for him to get a taste of the real world. The reason I think this is because he made good friends like Summer & Jack and to a lesser extent Reid. Also, he made good relationships with his teachers and Principal. Also another example is how more towards the end of the the story Amos and Henry stand up for him when 7th graders mess with them.

Furthermore, since Auggie’s father views the astronaut helmet as a mask and cover up for Auggie’s face, he confiscates Auggie’s astronaut helmet. Once Auggie had become accustomed to his astronaut helmet, Auggie’s father had thrown the helmet away due to it shielding Auggie’s face from his friends and family--his father wanted to see Auggie’s face, regardless of its deformity, and Auggie’s father knew that Auggie’s courage and braveness in the outside world was not going to be achieved unless he did not have a choice at all but to show his face. Auggie’s father also wanted to prepare Auggie for when he continues his journey throughout his life, where he would not have something to hide behind from, but instead he wanted Auggie to overcome his fears and be proud of who he was so that he would be prepared when he had no choice but to show his face, but with confidence and courage instead of with fear and

People jump to conclusions that he is weird just cause of his unique face. But there are characters in the book that don't judge him like summer. When they first meets she gets to know him and soon become really good friends. “Kindness is the key to any friendship”. When Auggie tries to make friends on the first day of school he meets a girl named Summer at the lunch table.

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

The theme of Wonder shows the reader to be loving and kind no matter how the person acts or looks. R.J. Palacio, the author of Wonder shows in the story that students at Beecher Prep, Auggie’s school make fun of him. According to the text they call him names such as by “rat boy, freak, monster, freddy krueger, E.T., gross-out, lizard face, and mutant.” This quote shows how hurtful names can be. They leave ugly and nasty notes in his locker. On the other hand, there are a few students that stand up for him and help him through the hard times. Two students, Jack and Julian got into a fist fight because Jack had gotten stuck with Auggie and Julian wanted to change that since he thought Jack was bummed about being with him. Julian asked Jack “do

Auggie has a rare medical facial deformity, and has had numerous surgeries. He is homeschooled by his parents for all of his elementary years but is now approaching the middle school ages. Auggie’s parents decide to send him to Beecher Prep, a private school. He is going into 5th grade and is experiencing something he never has before.
