Before Auggie started real school he had a friend named Christopher. He moved to the suburbs.(Suburbs ) They still stayed friends but didn't see each other as much. They still went to each other's birthday parties.(birthday party) When he was at Christopher's house he overheard his mom tell Christopher's mom that he was going to start going to a real school.(house) He did not want to start real school.(school) He cried to his dad and told him he didn't want to go. He thought that his dad wouldn't make him go. His mom and dad got into a fight and they decided that he should go.(parents fighting)
They set up a meeting with the principal of the school.(school) Auggie went and met the principal. (Principal) The principals name is Mr. Tushman. He giggled about his name. (Boy giggling) He knew that people talked about his name behind his back. A boy named Julian gave him a tour of the school. Julian was not nice to him. He acted nice for friend of the principal and his parents. Auggie wanted to leave the school after being with Julian.
When he started going to a real school he was afraid how he would be treated. In the beginning Auggie didn't have friends and was shy.(shy boy) His face was this deformed and he was afraid how people would treat him when they would see him.(deformed face) He said " I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you are thinking it is probably worse. ". He feels very bad about himself.
On the first day of school he was sitting alone at lunch. (School lunchroom) A girl named Summer sat next to him. She felt sorry for him. Summer was was nice to him and they became friends. Jack is a friend of Auggie's. Jack sat in the desk next to Auggie's. (Boys in desks) After Jack got used to the way Auggie looked he thought that Auggie was cool ands smart. They became good friends. Jack betrayed him one day and it made Auggie feel very sad and it made their friendship end for a while. Jack said he is not his real friend while he was sitting right next to him. Jack didn't realize that Auggie was sitting next to him because he was in a Halloween mask.( Halloween mask) Auggie ran to the bathroom and cried and he swore he would never go to school again.(Boy crying) Auggie's sister Via convinced him to go back to school. It made me feel sad when I read this.
When Jack and Auggie became friends again, Julian made the entire class go against Jack. Julian is always mean to Auggie. He is a bully. (Bully) Auggie had two true friends Summer and Jack. Julian made all the other kids in class follow him and be mean to Jack and Auggie.
In the book he learns to feel better about himself.(book) The other kids get used to it. Auggie makes friends and other kids like him for himself and not what he looks like. Auggie gets bullied and it made me feel sad. (Sad face) When he went to fifth grade nature camp he really got bullied by older kids.(nature camp) His friends stuck up for him.
Near the end of the book Auggie won an award. (Award) He didn't realize he won at first. Everyone started cheering and clapping for him. (Hands clapping) Auggie feels like he is floating as he walks to the front of the room.(floating)When he arrives, the audience gives him a standing ovation.( audience standing ovation) Auggie finds this amazing. He feels like he is a character in Star Wars receiving an honor for blowing up the Death Star. (Boy happy)
Auggie ends up excepting himself and becoming his own person.(person) The kids in the class end up liking him. The teachers always liked him too. (Teachers) Auggie is happy he went to the school.(happy face) He even thanks his mother. She called him a wonder.
This story made me feel a lot of feelings. Sometimes you feel sad and sorry for Auggie and sometimes you feel happy when he becomes happier and feels better about himself.(sad and happy face) I liked the book a lot. (Book) The book shows how people can feel bad and sad about the way other people treat them. The book let you know that you shouldn't judge people and you should be a friend to people who look or are different.
