In the book Wonder (wonder book) by R.J. Palacio (author), Auggie has a facial deformity (facial deformity) and people do not like that (people not liking something). He is bullied (bullying) a lot at school (school) and I think this story is about Auggie (auggie) trying to fit in at school (fitting in at school). Eventually most people are nice (being nice) to him but at the beginning of the story, it is a nightmare (nightmare) for Auggie. People always look away from him when they see him. When people see him for the first time they will be shocked (shocked face) or surprised. People are mean to him a lot and they will call him names or leave mean notes on his locker (locker). There are many other things that people will do that are rude or mean to Auggie but these three are the only ones I am going to explain in this essay. Because of all this I think people think Auggie is strange.
Throughout the story people are always looking (looking away) away from
Auggies's face whenever they see him. They also stare at him a lot too.
For example on page 22 the author writes "Jack Will looked at me and
put out his hand. When I shook it, he kind of half smiled and said 'Hey'
and looked down really fast." Jack Will looked down and that shows
that people don't want to look at his face because of the
deformity. People will always stare at him too. Sometimes
in the park or at school people just stare at him with their mouth open.
That is very rude because if he sees them he will know they think he is strange
and it will make him feel bad.
When people see him for the first time they will be shocked or
surprised. On page 63 the author writes "he got a look at my face
and without even meaning to said “Whoa!" This shows that people do
get shocked when they look at his face. The 8th grader was surprised when
he saw Auggie for the first time as he was running down the stairs. That
is why he said that even though he didn’t mean to. It was rude to Auggie
for him to do that because it will make Auggie feel bad because someone was
freaked out just by looking at him.
People are mean to him a lot in the book. They will ask mean
or rude questions and call him names. They will also pretend that he
has some plague and you can't touch him or else you will catch it and you have
to wash your hands within 30 seconds or you will catch it too. On page 29
the author writes: "What’s the deal with your face, I mean were you
in a fire or something.'" This shows that people are mean to
him. It shows that because Julian was asking a mean and rude question
about his face. But there are also nice people. One time Auggie
made a joke and a person left a doll in his locker with a note on it.
There are also a lot of other nice people like JackWill and Summer and others.
People are mean to Auggie. They always look away or stare
when they see him. They will be shocked and very surprised if they see
him. They do much more things to him too. All of this happens
because Auggie has a facial deformity. People can be a little scared or
surprised at that but for some reason they will bully him about it too and that
will make him feel bad. It is a bad thing to bully him about something he
was born with and can’t do anything about. People think that Auggie’s
facial deformity is strange.
