Wonder

Here is another question/ answer blog post about wonder. I really enjoy reading the book and answering deep questions about it, it makes me think. I like how most of this part was about the character Justin, Olivia's boyfriend. Next time I would add more graphics.

What are the motivations for Julian's Mum to photoshop August out of the class photo?She didn’t want Auggie in the photo because she thinks he is deformed and ruins the photo for the rest of the class.What message is this sening Julian? It is sending the message that it is ok to pick on Auggie for looking different., it really isn't.

What do you make of Mrs Albans statement about Auggie being handicapped? I think she thinks that Treacher collins syndrome affects mobility and other functions. Do you think she was correct when she said it places too much of a burden of the kids to befriend August? No, lots of kids have become friends with Auggie and It had brought no negative effects other than being disgraced by the popular kids whose opinion shouldn’t matter.

Mrs Alban also thinks Auggie shouldn’t be allowed in beecher prep, do you agree or disagree? I disagree because Auggie causes nobody any harm.

How did Jack handle being frozen out by all the other boys in his school? He spent his breaks with Auggie and Summer instead.

Why was Justin nervous about meeting Olivia’s parents? Because meeting your partner’s parents is a big deal. How did it show? He was acting a little weird. How did it work out? Olivia’s parents like Justin.

Why does Justin greet the different members of the family in different ways? Because he greeted them how he thought was appropriate. Explain how he greeted them? He gave Auggie a hello fist bump, Olivia a kiss of the cheek and Olivia’s parents a hello handshake.

In the bus stop chapter Justin told Julian and his friends to leave Jack alone, was this a good idea? Partly, he was sticking up for someone he knew and who was his girlfriend’s brother’s best friend. It could of been a bad idea because the kids could have teased Jack about needing August’s sister’s boyfriend to stick up for him.

In the chapter called bird Olivia says she is an awful person, why is this? Because she doesn’t want Auggie to come to the play because nobody knows about him. Is she right? No, she has never been embarrassed of Auggie before and it makes sense she doesn’t want people to know about him.

In what ways is part five different to other parts of the book? All the writing is in lower case, it is told from a different perspective.
