“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 is related to Jack because he does not care about how August looks like. Jack only cares about what others do and think about.
I think Jack only cares about what others do and think because of what has already happened in the story; Jack said before that he was getting use of how August face looks like. He also talked about how he would rather be friends with August instead of Julian, Henry, and Miles right before he said that he regretted what he said to Julian and Julian’s parents that he would kill himself if he was August.
But Julian is the opposite. He does care about how August looks like. But he doesn’t know that August is a really nice friend.
Julian does not know that August is a nice friend because he is always rude about how his face looks like. An example of when this happened was near of the beginning of the book when Julian ask “what happened to your face, were you in a fire accident?” Another example of when this happened was when Julian said that he looked like Darth Sidious.
Another reason why Julian doesn’t know that August is a nice friend is because he doesn’t even try to talk to him or try to get to know him better.
These are some reason why this quote is related to Jack and not to Julian. This quote is not related to Julian because he judges about how others look like. He is also very rude to others. This quote is related to Jack because he does not care about how others look; he only cares about what they do and think about.
