I think Auggie has this laugh/cry feeling because maybe he is still thinking about Mr.Tushman’s funny name and Julian hurt Auggie’s feelings and he wants to cry or maybe he sees Jack as a friend because he is nice to him. I think this is why Auggie has this laugh/cry feeling.
Day: 14 November 2016
Auggie is feeling bad and some is funny because, he scared if someone laugh at him about his face and maybe he doesn’t have friend, no one want to be friends with Auggie, but Auggie’s teacher likes Auggie and Auggie likes his teacher too, that’s why say Auggie likes school and he have some don’t like school.
On October 31, the spooky Halloween is coming! On Halloween, every house owner will put a lot Jack O Lantern near their front door, I saw a ghost on the door, but I could see it was made of paper.
It was 8:00 p.m. I heard some kids laughing and screaming “trick or treat” to the people who opened the door. We knocked at the door and shouted “trick or treat” to the people, too. We kept trick or treating. Suddenly, I touched a “spider web“, I felt it was made of strings with a lot of sticky sugar.
We still kept trick or treating, we knocked at the door and shouted “trick or treat“ to the house owner, but he didn`t gave us candy. He said: “I am sorry, we just moved here, we don`t have any candy for you. “ we said “That`s ok“ and walked away.
It was 9:00 p.m. we had to go back home. I took a chocolate bar out of the bucket. I put the candy straight into my mouth. It was soft and sweet. It was tasty…
That was a spooky Halloween night.
I think that Mr. Brown’s October precept is very important to Auggie because he thinks “Your deeds are your monuments” is very important because he thinks that is how people should view him. Instead of focusing on how he looks, they should focus on what he does, because people gossip about him, talk behind his back, and make fun of him. If people focused on what people did, not what they looked like, they would find out that Auggie is very kind, caring, and trustworthy, so Auggie would have lots of friends and would be very popular. But people can’t see past his face. Auggie thinks that what you do is more important than what you look like, and what you say, and I agree with him!
What The Oct. Precept Means To August and How it Contributes To One Of The Themes of Wonder
It’s important to August because if he does good deeds to other people.
They will like him more and they will be friends with him. So now people won’t be that mean to him. August wanted to feel normal, all of his good deeds will make people remember him. August will feel what he wanted to feel.
I think this precept applies to Auggie because he helps his family by doesn’t complain after all his surgery’s. I think this because he does a lot of nice things for his family like staying calm when he knows he is under pressure.
His ‘deeds are monuments’ because the monuments stuck with his family for a long time. At school this is kind of the opposite for Auggie but this much different for his friends or teachers. Because he helps his friends by keeping them company. This is opposite with any random students because they think he has the cheese touch. Like Greg Hefley in the book Diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney. These random students don’t want to even touch him or even be near him or playing with him or keep him company.
This precept ties in with the story because all the doctors are doing all the deeds for Auggie like surgeries or just a quick check up. His family packs lunch for him and even kisses him goodbye when he leaves for school. All of these things stick with Auggie for the rest of his life.
