How is the October precept mean to Auggie? For August, it’s a huge deal for him. He wants to make a good impression, after all it’s his first time in school. The precept for October is “Your deeds are like monuments” In his essay, he wrote a very deep response. He stated that the monuments were built to honor that person of what they did. He also stated instead of using stone, they use the memories that you had with them in order to build it.

August wants to make a good impression. Even if the kids are mean to him, he won’t give up. He mentioned he got used to this problem, as in he doesn’t get effected by the insults that much as it used too. After all this time, August get to meet people in his age. Which makes him happy.

The precept really encourage August and he wants to show he’s an ordinary kid. If his peers give him a chance. He REALLY wants to fit in, which is why it’s important to him. I’m assuming it’s the reason why he pushed himself to write a good essay for Mr. Brown. Which expresses his feelings about the precept in a detailed way. The precept is important to August because he wants to show people he’s normal. But August is in a position where everyone doesn’t really like him. August want to still treat them good. He wants to choose kind.
