Chapter one is mostly setting the stage for a larger novel; it illustrates the perspectives of Augie, his mother, and Grandma Lausch. Augie is constantly observing his household’s behaviors and listening to his ‘grandma.’ She is a rather opinionated woman that leads the household after Augie’s father dies. His mother on the other hand is a woman that is paralyzed with fear. Simple minded and subservient, Augie’s mother follows the family hierarchy with Grandma at the top followed by the rest in a horizontal fashion. These two different mindsets give Augie insight into how he might live his own life. His mother filled with love and sympathy and ‘grandma’ full of wisdom and orders give him a good look at two different sides of a spectrum. I can’t agree with Saul Bellow’s representation of Augie’s mother; while she is not knowledgeable or seen as useful, she plays an integral

Theme: One lesson I learned is that you can’t judge people if they are different. In this book, Auggie has a disorder on his face. Many people stay away from him because of that. Inreality they just judged the funniest person they have ever met. Auggie always could feel when people were staring at him. He hated it. Summer witnessed this happening. She knew she had to do something, so she did. Another lesson this book taught me is that life is what you make it. Auggie had the fear of dying a lot. He went through tons of life threatening surgeries. He hated them, but he aleays had a laugh with his friends and enjoyed every second of living. I never through about what would happen if I was in his place and had to hope I lived through a surgery.
