Wonder part 1

Throughout Wonder,

What do you think of the line ‘Don’t judge a boy by his face’ which appears on the back cover of the book? 

The line, “Don’t judge a boy by his face,” tells readers that there is something wrong with August’s face. Since these are his words, he is telling the world that there is more to him than what you see on the outside. It makes me wan’t to read “Wonder” even more. I wonder if he ever gets cured? From this quote, it foreshadows August’s appearance

         At the end of the chapter August speak directly to the readers “I wont describe what I look like whatever you’re thinking, its probably worse” August was born with severe medical problems that caused deformity to his facial features and skull that prevented him from going to a conventional school- until now. He is about to start 5^th grade at Beecher prep, and if you've ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is August’s just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?

August worried about others opinions of his physical appearance. “The only reason I’m not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way ”After ten years of being himself, August has learned to protect not to notice how others people react to him.

August describes the way that many people react to seeing his face for the first time: by immediately looking away. Have you ever been in a situation where you have responded like this to seeing someone different?

         I have been in situations where people look at my students differently by avoid having conversations with them. For example couple days ago we went to a community walk, people were looking at them as “phenomenon” and started gossiping about their appearance and what were they doing there.
