Face Deformity In Wonder By J. Palacio

Near the end of the book Auggie feels accepted. On page 282 we find evidence of this when he says, “It was like I was one of them.” When he says “them” he is referring to the other students. Auggie could finally feel “normal” and it is necessary for August to feel this way because people have always seen Auggie as strange because of his face. At a point August even forgets he has Treacher Collins syndrome. On page 307 we find an example of this, “I wasn’t even thinking about my face. I was just smiling a big happy smile.” August felt like it didn 't matter what his face looked like. It just mattered that he was happy. For once, Auggie didn 't feel like everyone was trying to get away from him; on the contrary, he said, “It kind of felt like everyone wanted to get close to me.” (pg 308) August can finally feel like a “normal” kid.

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 is being very mean to August. He is being mean to August by asking him "What's the deal with your face? I mean, were you in a fire or something". He was also asking a lot of other mean things like "Your mom can't teach you science if she is not a teacher". He is also a hypocrite because with August he was so mean, but when he was close to adults he acted super nice to

He taunted August by making fun of his face. He would also talk about him behind his back. One time, during the beginning of school, he asked August in class if he liked Darth Sidious from Star Wars. What this meant was that in one of the Star Wars episodes, Darth Sidious' face gets shriveled up by Sith Lightning, so Julian was actually making fun of August's face. During fifth grade, Julian always commented about August to others and he also said mean words to him.

Just like Jack Will he was just using Augie as a friend. Then, on halloween they were all making fun of August. Next, Auggie walked in on Jack Will when he was making fun of him. Auggie got really sad and didn’t even want to go trick or treating, when it’s his favorite holiday. Jack really regretted it, so he wanted to be real friends

I knew I wanted to run out of the class right then and there. But I stood where I was and listened to Jack Will finish what he was saying”’ (Palacio, 2012, p. 77). This shows that his actions caused Auggie to feel hurt and abandoned by one of his best friends. Jack’s actions also triggered Auggie to drop him as a friend, and not talk to him unless, he needed him for school.

This quote highlights Auggie's desire to be known for something other than the way he looks. He is not so different from other kids on the inside, and when people get to know him, they find a funny, likable person worth befriending. The problem is that few people take the opportunity get to know him, since many people are put off by the way he looks. Auggie wants everyone to realize that it matters more what is on the inside than on the

August “Auggie” Pullman is a ten-year-old boy who has been home schooled his whole entire life because he was born with a facial deformity, but with his approval, Auggie’s parents decide that he should go to public school. When Auggie enters Beecher Prep, his school he is going to, he hopes that everyone will treat him acceptably and normal and see him as an ordinary kid, but do the students treat him as he hopes they do? In the beginning of the school year everyone saw him as the kid with the facial deformity, and no one talked to him besides the students that didn’t care about Auggie’s face, and who only cared about his personality. Summer Dawson is one of Auggie’s best friends, she said that she actually sees him as an ordinary kid, but

Even though kids at Beecher prep changed their minds about August near the end of the book, most of them bullied august because they judged his appearance because they were following julin and they were afraid. First of all, August was bullied because of his appearance. For example, during the Halloween part and the start of the year Julian would say that Auggie was

Auggie is a loser at school since kids talk behind his back. Julian from Wonder said “You remind me of Darth Sidious from Stars Wars.” He said this since Darth Sidious's face melted and became deformed in Star Wars episode 3. Additionally, there are some kids who play a game where you can’t touch him. He is being outcasted since he has no friends because he is a loser.

Julian is the snotty rich kid who turns the entire school against Jack because Jack is August's friend. Julian and I are not alike for many reasons. One of them is, Julian makes fun of August’s face. He asks, "So, whats the deal with the face? Did you get burned or something?"

I’d like to add on the idea that Auggie has made new friends that make him feel special and make him forget about how different he is then others around him by saying that his friends didn’t see him as a freak, they saw him as a trustworthy friend. In the story, Auggie was sitting alone during lunch and a girl from his class named Summer left her friends and went to go sit with auggie and said that it's not fair that Auggie is being treated badly because despite the way he looks, he is no different from anybody else. Also, Auggie has grown as a person to learn to accept and conquer challenges that come his way because in the story Auggie was

He could have gotten mad and left, but he was nice and stayed. These our all events that explain the theme of the story. Auggie said “ i want some nice friends for a change”, and sit by Auggie. Jack says “if all the guys in the fifth grade were lined up, he would pick auggie”, he also says he, that he used to not like Auggie but realized

He was very sad that he had not made any friends on the first day of school. The text says when auggie walked in the room everyone snickered about why he was in there classroom. When auggie got home from school on the first day of school he was in the hate love mood.

He could of stayed home and been rattled. It is most likely hard going to school with no friends. Auggie did it, he was strong and held his head high. Auggie’s school went on a field trip to a camp, Jack Will and Auggie adventured into the woods, bullies followed them and pushed Jack Will to the ground. Auggie stood up for his friend and himself.
