Auggie is a new boy at Beecher Prep and he already feels uncomfortable. Julien is a boy that picks on Auggie about his facial differences and doesn't know Auggie feels. Auggie was sitting right in front of Julien and Julien called Auggie names and told his friends that if he looked like Auggie he would cover his face.For example on page 77 the text states, “I think he looks like a orc.”If I looked like that,” said the Julien voice, kind of laughing, “I swear to God, I'd put a hood over my face everyday.”This is important because on Halloween everyone was in a costume and Julien didn't know which costume was Auggie. So, Auggie was sitting in front of Julien, Miles, Henry and Jack Will and Julien was talking about Auggie and was saying all this mean stuff about Auggie.
