POST #4 {W O N D E R}


PART VIII --

1. Auggie has matured, we could see it in different scenes on Part VIII (A) when he asked to his mom for a new duffel because the one that he had Star Warrs stuff is printed on it. (B) When he decided not to take his teddy bear “Baboo” with him and that note that he left to his mom, that says  it all! (C) When for the first time he leaves home to a school trip, it’s like he leaves his comfort zone to an out the box zone, and (D) the way Auggie handled Eddie’s insults compares to his reactions in the past on same circumstances.


2. Auggie recognizes that it is important to be known. He will no longer hide himself from people’s sight.


4 - Emblematic moments: (A) The fight in the hood, Julian's friends now stand up for Auggie. It shows that they accepted Auggie as one of their own), (B) the time of graduation that marks the end of one stage of development and the beginning of a new one.


Question | Julian is the only character who does not learn a lesson about kindness at the end of this book. Why did Palacio choose not to have him change?

  1. Julian embodies what Via said to Auggie early on in the book: some kids will always be mean. No matter how likable and friendly Auggie is, there will always be those kids who cannot see past his face. What Auggie learns, though, is that he does not have to keep those people in his life, and that things have a habit of working out for the best. It is important to move past unchangeable, negative opinions and not let them get to you.
