Wonder By R. J Palacio

“Do you really know the real reason behind Wonder Woman?” The Secret History of Wonder Woman was written by American historian Jill Lepore. The book was published in 2014 by the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.

In The Gift, Ian Parker discusses a personal story of a man named Zell Kravinsky that had given almost his entire fortune and kidney under moral obligation. The “big question” that will be evaluated in this paper is there important limits to how much do-gooding morality can ask of us? If so, how much can it ask of us to sacrifice for others? This question had placed great influence on Zell Kravinsky story and it is important we evaluate his arguments for moral obligation can ask of us.

The most important lesson for Rachel that comes out of this situation is that after wearing the disgusted sweater she has become even older, and it was tied to the experience instead of the birthday itself. She understands that it is the challenge she needs to grow up faster as she will receive additional benefits of behaving the way she wants and resisting to the outside irritators. As for the literature techniques, the author applies language, diction and symbolism to reveal the issues of experience, aging, knowledge, power, authority and freedom. The discovering is gaining age are conveyed with the help of the memories of eleven-year-old girl on her birthday. Rachel resists her humiliation from Mrs. Pierce, and that is the exact moment when her “smart eleven” comes as well[2].

Amy Tan had many personal experiences in her story. For example, when Amy Tan was living in Northern California, her mother had very high expectations on her. Her mother wanted her to be with the American society and be the best she could be. Amy Tan had to get a haircut very short to the way other famous children were acting in the United States. Amy’s mother was the one who encouraged this. With that, in the story “Two Kinds,” the young girl named Jing-mei live in a part of California and she had to get a very short haircut. Jing-mei’s mother wanted her daughter to look and act the same way Shirley Temple did. Within both of the girls lives, they each had to act like an already famous person exactly to please their mothers.

Okay, we all know wonder, but this is kind of a behind the scenes part two called, Auggie and me it was published in august 2015.

Palacio teach the readers about strength and courage. Dave wants to teach you to use strength and courage to overcome your challenges, R.J. wants to teach you to use strength and courage, to keep going, even when things get tough. Both stories are about young boys facing problems in the world-that others face too. But, ones takes place at a horrid house, where the boy gets abused by his mother, and learns to us strength and courage to stand up against his mother, and get help. However, the other takes place at a terrifying middle school, where a boy gets bullied, and uses strength and courage to advance through tough times. Both the young boys in each story use strength and courage. This is important, because everyone should have courage and strength, because it can help you get through many things, like it did for Auggie with school and the bullies, and Dave with his mother and her abuse. Whether we choose to use our courage and strength to overcome our challenges, or use it to push through tough times, we all have the power within
