In life
making fun of people does not help you.
It just makes things worse for you and other people. A boy with a
deformed face named Auggie, with strong character traits like his perseverance
being made fun of. R.J Palacio Wrote wonder because just like her kids
saw a boy with a deformed face. She does not want us to scream and be
scared just like her kids. R.J Palacio at least wants us to not judge
someone by what they look like, she wants us to talk to them first at least say
hi. This book is a very inspirational book to me if you read it you
might think that too.
Throughout the story kids make fun of his face like the character Julian, who
started a war with Auggie. Where if you touch him you get the plague. A
lot of people were on Julian side, and only some on Auggie's side. Most
girls were on both sides. Auggie didn't really care and got used to it than
the other kids started to get closer to Auggie after 2/3 months. That
shows that he has very good perseverance and does not care what other people
say and just keeps driving. Later in the story, Auggie went on a field trip to a nature center and stayed there for 3 days. At the end of day 3 they watched a movie outside on a huge screen. Jack had to go the bathroom and the line to the bathroom was long so they went into the forest. After they were done and they ran into some 7th and 8th graders. The 7th and 8th graders shined a flash light on Auggie and they screamed “Monster!” This makes Auggie feel different then the 7th and 8th graders started chasing them and after they ran away Auggie even made two new friends that were mean to him before.
By the end of the story Auggie won the Henry
ward Beecher medal for being a really good friend. “Using his quiet
strength” to lift up kid’s hearts and his perseverance. "I started
paying attention, for real now, to what he was saying." “The strength of one’s
courage" he repeated quietly, nodding and smiling". Auggie
really started paying attention to what Mr. Tushman was saying. All the
kids cheered for him when he went up to the stage everybody liked him because
he was a good friend accept Julian of course still didn't like Auggie.
