Wonder

       In Wonder by R.J Palacio August Pullman a boy with a wonderous face, changes through out the book. In the beginning Auggie is a boy who everyone dislikes because of his outside appearance. Auggie does not see any good in his face, he knows what people say behind his back and it doesn't make him feel any better. Auggie is a home~schooled boy who doesn't think anybody could possibly be friends with a "freak" until one day. Auggie is supposed to be going in the 5th grade, his mom takes him for a tour of a school to see if this year he'll go to school. While Auggie takes a tour of the school he notices that some people can be rude even though they don't realize it. For example " So, whats up with your face, were you in a fire or something? " said Julian " Julian thats so rude! " said Charlotte. So like in that situation Julian is being rude but doesn't realize it until someone points out it's offensive.


      I think Auggie changes in this book mostly through maturity, and realizing new things about his face that he didn't realize in the beginning of  the book. One example is when he met Summer. He thought that like all the other kids, She was asked to be friends with him because Mr.Tushman asked him to. I think Auggie didn't realize that Summer was trying to be his friend because, he found out that Mr. Tushman asked a bunch of people but they were being real jerks instead of friends. But this girl was trying to be Kinder Than Necessary. I think if people would just get to know Auggie a little better the whole school could be friends with him!


    In wonder from the first page to the last one major change in Auggie, his perspective. On the last page when Auggie is walking with friends which he didn't have in the beginning or when a bunch of people came to take a picture with them. Auggie didn't have that in the beginning. I think that Auggie knows now from his 5th grade experience, everyone in the world can be mean and stick with " Cool Kids ", but those who decide who they'ed actually have a good time with, make good decisions. Like for example, the part when Miranda changed, and hung out with her good friends instead of popular ones, she realized that in a long time she hasn't felt really. And sometimes hanging out with the old is better than the new.



    One thing in Wonder that I learned is. Never. Ever. Ever. Judge a person by their appearance, no matter what they look like. It's always okay to be randomly nice if you see someone suffering, just being there to help them. Giving them an extra hand. And Don't Judge a person by their face.
