The quote in Jack’s perspective is, “Now here is my secret, it is only with one’s heart that one can see clearly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

I think this quote relates to Jack and Auggie because of what they have been through together. I think it means a lot about Auggie because people always see Auggie through his face and they don’t really get to know him, some people don’t even want to get near him because of how weird his face looks. It gets so extreme at some points where they start to bully him and send him mean letters. The only people who see him in a friend type of way is Jack and Summer, but even jack was bullying him at some point.

There was a time in Halloween where Jack was making fun of Auggie. He made fun of him by saying, “Oh if I was Auggie I would kill myself” And “I don’t ever want to be like Auggie.” He probably wouldn’t have said that if he knew Auggie was there, but since Auggie came as a Bloody scream he thought that it was safe to make fun of him, but it wasn’t. It wasn’t safe because true friends never make fun of each other no matter what. Jack probably said those stuff because he was influenced by Julian, Henry and Miles.

I think this taught Jack a really big lesson about friendship and loyalty. He learned that it doesn’t matter if other friends are making fun of him because of Auggie’s facial disorder. He knows that as long as he sticks to being loyal to someone, they will be loyal back!

When they went to the camp Auggie and Jack got ambushed by these students from other schools, they were talking trash about August’s face, After a while Auggie got pushed by them and jack was there to stand up for him. When jack was standing up for Auggie Miles, Henry and Amos showed up to stand up for both Jack and Auggie. At that moment Henry, Miles and Amos didn’t care about Auggie’s face, they were tired of putting him to the side and bullying him so at that moment the they didn’t care about his face and they just stood up for him and Jack.

This proves that there are people in this world who have a heart and care about people more than their face and appearance. The quote really lives up to its name because the people who really care about anyone, won’t care about someone’s looks. This is why I think Jack and Auggie really live up to this quote because of what they’ve been through!
