Novel Study of Wonder Part 6/7 August/Miranda (245-274)

1. The main reason he does not like school events is that there will be new eyes to stare and judge August's appearance.

2. Students have started to realize just how stupid the war was, and they realized how normal August really is.

3. He didn't want to wear hearing aids because he would stand out even more than he already did, considering the unusual look of the hearing aids. The unusual look of the hearing aids would also give others another reason to bully him.

4. We already know that Via does not want to be known as the girl with a deformed little brother. If August ends up going to the play, everyone in her school will find out about her deformed litter brother and all her efforts in keeping August secret will go to waste. Her mother realises this and tries to prevent August from going to the play.

5. In my opinion, I think August means that everyone should be noticed for their achievements at least once in their life. That way they might be encouraged to work harder in order to be noticed again.

6. Daisy's death obviously gave everyone a shock and filled them with grief. But I think the most important effect was when August saw his dad crying for the first time. Making him realise that even his dad has weaknesses.

Novel Study of Wonder Part 5 Justin (233-242)

1. It is always nervewracking to meet your partner's parents if you make the wrong move they might not approve of you. At the time Justin was stressed making his ticks even worse. In the end, Via's parents ended up liking him.

2. I think he greeted each member differently to suit each person. He shakes the dad's hand to be formal, fistbumps August to come off as cool, hugs the mum to show his soft side, and kisses Via because that's what couples do.

3. It was a good thing to do at the moment but in the long run, it was probably the wrong move. This is because now Jullian can say stuff like, you had to get a teenager to help you.

4. She says that she is an awful person because she didn't tell her parents about the play. The main reason she feels awful is that the reason she didn't tell her parents about the play is that she doesn't want her new friends to know about her deformed little brother.

5. For one it is from Justin's point of view. The biggest difference is that the grammar is not the best.

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.
