I think that October precept means to August is that we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honor our heroes. Monuments are made out of memories that people do for all of us.

August has learned from all he has been through. Even though he has deformed face he is a smart kid. I think that what he is having a really hard time at school because people don’t look at his deeds because they are so busy looking at his face.
