Wonder Essay draft 4

Iof perseverance you can do anything.

n 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.   I think Wonder by R.J palacio is about the power of perseverance can help people get through hard times.        

               Throughout the story kids make fun of his face like the character Julian, who started a war with Auggie. It’s 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 7^th and 8^th graders. The 7^th and 8^th graders shined a flash light on Auggie and they screamed “Monster!”  and the 7^th and 8^th graders tried to beat up Auggie, Jack and few other kids (named Miles, Amos and Henry).   This makes Auggie feel different.  Then the 7^th and 8^th graders started chasing them and after they ran away Auggie even made two new friends that were mean to him before (Miles and Henry and a little bit Amos).  They could not find their way back because it was so dark.  When they got back and they could see Auggie saw that the 7^th and 8^th graders took off his hearing aids.          

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 and at least Julian went to a different school. 

Now, as I think about the power of perseverance, I realize that the power of perseverance can help people get through stuff you cant do but when you use the power
