Star Wars is one of Auggie’s passions. Why do you think this is? Do you see any reasons for Auggie to identify with these characters, or to aspire to be like them? I think that Auggie passion is Star Wars because In Star Wars they cover faces with like Masks type of things. As Auggie is very embarrassed and ashamed when it comes to his face.
What questions did Julian ask August and why did August want to slide under the desk? Explain why Julian asked those questions? Julian kept asking a question about star wars mainly Darth Sidious because he has a messed up face just like Auggie
Mr. Browne’s September Precept was 'When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind'. I think there is always a time to be right and kind. Auggie position I would prefer to be kind to him Because his whole life people have been giving him dirty looks, Pointing him out to people, Talking about him wondering about what happened to his face.
In the chapter One to Ten, August is feeling mad with his mother but he's not sure why. Explain why you think he was mad? He got mad because his mum had lied to him about having to go to a public school.
August invited his whole class to his birthday party but not many kids came. Why do you think they didn't go? Some kids I believe actually couldn't make it but other maybe its because they didn't like Auggie, Maybe it was because of his face. Most of the kids in his class won't even touch him so I don't think they are going to go out of their ways to make it to his birthday party.
August says he has an 'Aversion' to getting his picture taken. What is an aversion? Why does Auggie have an aversion to having his picture taken? Aversion mean's to really dislike or disinclination something. In Auggie situation, his aversion is taking picture's and I think that this is because he is insecure about his face and what he looks like.
Why does no one want to touch August? How do you think this makes him feel? Well, I think that nobody wants to touch him because they might "catch his disease" With is actually impossible because he was born that way so. But I feel that Auggie much be sad that his own classmates wont even touch him and only go near him once the teacher tell them to.
Did your opinion of Jack Will change after August overheard him talking to Julian? Explain. Yes, It changed very quickly that Jack Will would prefer to be popular and hang out with people like Julian than have a good genuine friend like Auggie. I fell quite bad for Auggie because he feels like his own "friend" turns on him to be cool.
Do you think August will go back to school? Predict what will happen next? Well if I was Auggie I would prefer not to go back to school but I think he will, I think that he will want to be strong and stand up for him self.
