Based on the Book

 

Wonder by R.J. Palacio

 

 

 

In the book Wonder, Auggie has to overcome challenges because of his facial deformity.(A kid doing a test) August is being bullied because of his face.(kids being bullied) The gist of the story I think is Don't judge a boy by his face. (Sad kid) I think that is important because you should not be mean to someone because they have a facial deformity.(bullying crossed out) You should instead judge them by their character.(character with a check mark) I wonder why the kids made fun of him.(bullies) He never provoked them or anything. I think that they were just trying to be mean.(mean crossed out) In the book wonder, R.J. Palacio, the author wants us to understand to judge someone by their character, not what they look like.(character with a check on it)

Throughout the story, August was bullied because of his facial deformity.(bullying) Some people at his camp especially made fun of him because of his face.(camp) For example, on page 266 at the top, Eddie said, “What happened to your face?"(bully)At the bottom of the page, he also said, “Are you talking to me, Freddie Kruger? I don't think you want to mess with me, you ugly freak."(another bully) This shows that August was made fun of because some people couldn't control themselves and acted very rude. The cause was because they were making fun of his face.(August in wonder) Auggie didn't resort to violence, he didn't even make Eddie pay a fine! I wonder why Eddie broke his hearing aid.(Auggies hearing aid) It might’ve been an accident. Maybe that is why August didn’t press charges.

Also in the story, most of the boys in 5th grade that were friends with Julian turned on Auggie because of Julian.(list of augist and Julian's teams) For example, on page 170, Charlotte explained why not many people were talking to him. The author writes,"...Anyway, so basically what happened at the party was that Julian went around telling everyone that you punched him because you had emotional problems..." This shows that Julian basically caused the boys to turn on them.(group of boys) Julian is the main problem of this part of the story.(Julian/Julian's book) I wonder why Julian doesn’t like Auggie. He is always mean and rude to him and Jack. Maybe it was because on page 154, Jack punched Julian in the mouth.(fist) The author writes, “We could have been partners. You don’t have to be friends with that freak if you don’t want to be, you know....” (Another fist) 
After Julian said that, Jack punched him in the mouth. Julian was the problem of that situation too.  I wonder why Jack punched Julian in the face.(teacher shushing) He could’ve just told the teacher or told him to be quiet, but punching him in the mouth? Was that really necessary.

By the end of the story, the school was treating August like a normal person!(thumbs up) They were not mean to him at all, they were actually nice!(kids high fiving) Except for Julian. (Kids fist bumping) For example, on page 305 at the middle, people told August,"way to go, Auggie!" They also chanted,"Aug-gie! Aug-gie! Aug-gie!"(chanting kids) This shows that the school was being nice to Auggie. Most of them were but now everyone is nice to Auggie! I am glad that everyone was being nice to August by the end of the book.(wonder book) It wouldn’t have been as good of a book if there wasn’t a happy ending.(happy ending) Not many people would want to read it.

This essay shows that August has to overcome challenges to reach happiness.(kids smiling) This theme relates to the world because a lot of people have to overcome challenges to reach happiness.(people smiling) I think that this whole situation that August went through might have helped him because he can be stronger if he has to face it again.(more kids smiling) I think that this might happen to August again at somepoint in his life because there are some people in the world that are not nice and are mean.(bullies) That is why I think that this helped august in the end.(end sign) I think that Auggie is glad that the situation is over because he went through so much pain!(happy kids) This proves that this essay shows that Auggie overcomes challenges to reach happiness.(more happy kids)

The Indus and Ganges river valleys ideal locations for early settlement because they are great ways to travel. The Ganges River flows through grassy plains. The Indus River is often compared to the Nile River. Like the Nile River, the Indus River is an important source of water. The Indus and Ganges Eivers are also good for farmland that lies along their banks.

Science Bumper Sticker!

Today, I designed part of my bumper sticker for science. This is what it looks like:
My slogan is, "Your Health is in Your Hands" the drawing I think is going to be a sink, soap and hands in the sink. 
I think that is important because if you don't keep your hands clean, you can spread diseases and bacteria. Also if you touch your face, you might get a disease.

Tomorrow, I am going to be getting my candy. A lot of people have a sled what is is and I think that I want... SKITTLES!
I really like skittles. My second choice was warheads I think. The gummy kind. I also like chocolate. Hershey chocolate and twix and snickers and...and....everything!
I like hard candy that is sweet and the kind that is minty. Especially lifesavers. I had some of those today. This is because in my choice hour, we get candy for doing French games.

Waffle Time!

Today, I made waffles when I got home. Yes, you read that right, I made waffles in the afternoon. I prefer waffles over pancakes but my brother, Dyson, likes pancakes better than waffles. 
"Waffles are easier to cut," I say.
"No, pancakes are easier to cut," Dyson remarks.
"How? Waffles are easier because it shows a path with the lines and stuff."
"Uuuh. I still like pancakes,"
So, that's how part of my afternoon was.

My day

Today, I got my hair braided! I don't have to comb it now! Yay! But now I have to wear a swim cap when I swim. Uuuugh. I don't like it when it has to cover my ears and then it feels like it's pulling my face up. But, I do like swimming. But it does hurt when I have to get my hair braided. I have a tender head. That means that it hurts a lot. I have gotten better at concealing my pain....conceal, don't feel, don't let it show....
