I think Auggie is wiser, because he’s been through a lot his entire life. He’s been through surgeries. So he knows pain, he wanted to go because he had time to think about it. He’s been teased a lot of times from school or outside. So he learned not to listen to them and knows how to deal with it. Auggie knows from experience that what you do is more important than how you look. He cares more about what he does then what other people think (sometimes). He doesn’t like to quit. He won’t be mean because he knows what other people would feel. That’s why I think Auggie is wiser.

I think Via is wiser because her parents have been taking care of Auggie more then they take care of Via. Because of that she is more independent. Like Auggie she knows that it’s more important then what you do then what you look. That’s why I think Via is wiser. That’s why I think Auggie and Via are wiser then their age.
