Novel Study of Wonder Part 4 Jack (165-220)


1. In my opinion, this quote means that the things that are most important in life can not be seen by simply looking at it.

2. At first, he didn't want to do it but when he found out that Jamie ran away screaming after seeing August for the first time, he realized how hard middle school was going to be for August.

3. At first, before finding out what he had done to August he thought everything was fine and there was just something wrong with August. When he realizes what he had done he feels remorse and regret.

4. Jullian wouldn't stop talking about Jacks relationship. There was definitely a better solution than punching Jullian but I think Jullian had it all coming.

5. I made me realize just how much he wanted to be popular, but I also realized that he wasn't as bad of a person as I thought he was.

6.  I think once August finds out he will be confused, not believing that Jack actually punched Jullian.
Once he confirms it I think he will be surprised.

7. Jullian's mother really does not care about anything but herself, and she does not want a 'freak' in her sons class photo. That's why she cut out August out of the photo. This sends a message to Jullian that it was ok to judge people by their looks.

8. August is not really handicapped, he does has trouble eating, but that does not stop him from doing anything that others can do. I don't think it placed any burden on the kids because Mr. Tushman never asked the kids to befriend August, instead he actually tells them to be nice to August.

9. I completely disagree with Mrs. Albans. This is because the only thing that is wrong with August is his looks, other than that he is just like any other student, meaning he shouldn't be treated any different.

10. He absolutely hates it. He constantly feels like people are staring at him. And keeps getting notes in his locker.

Novel Study of Wonder Part 3 Summer (145-161)


1. She was invited to the party because she used to be in the "popular" group until she started to sit with August during lunch. Even so, she is still viewed as pretty.

2. Summer fosters a relationship with August by sitting with him during lunch and opening up to him while August opens up to her. This is beneficial because August now has someone to talk to and Summer has someone fun that she can be open to.
