I think that Mr. Browne’s October Precept: “Your deeds are your monuments” means that whatever you do before you pass away will be commemorated to your legacy through the years. Auggie understands that others aren’t judging his deeds, they’re judging his face and for that he understands it all even though he has facial problems. I think that the gifts to life are disguised so that we’ll find out for ourselves how important they really are.

Mr. Browne’s October Precept is one of the themes for “Wonder” because it is allowing you to see what is inside of everyone and how you can leave a memory on people when you’re nice or when you’re mean. Even if someone who lived a life of poverty and for the people who take care of them have no occupation, the good things we do in life always seem to find a way out, and that is what we’re most likely to be remembered for.

Such like St. Therese, a French Carmelite nun from Lisieux, France who believed that she would not get famous or rich, so she served God by the little things that she did in life. Her quote: “Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show you my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can show my love is by scattering flowers, and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and work, and the doing of the least actions for love.” St. Therese is showing that deeds don’t all have to be miraculous and huge they just need to be something from the heart, she is representing that deeds can come from small places but turn out to be something special and true.
