“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 was at the beginning of Jack’s perspective because when Jack said those mean things about Auggie.

He didn’t know that the person in the bleeding scream costume was Auggie and he heard that Jack was saying mean things about Auggie. Jack didn’t know why Auggie was ignoring him so he asked Summer why and she said “bleeding scream” as a hint. He didn’t know what it meant so it was like the part in the quote “What is essential is invisible to the eye” where he didn’t see the important part.

At first Jack was acting nice to Auggie because Mr.Tushman said so and after that Jack wanted to be actual friends with Auggie. Jack wanted to be friends with August because he didn’t find the popular boys group fun at all and he actually wanted to play with Auggie instead, so after he said those mean things he didn’t know why he said it, it just came out of his mouth and he wanted to know why Auggie was ignoring him because he wanted to play with August not with the popular boys.

Julian didn’t see Auggie as a friend just because of his face and everyone should be treated equally but Julian never experienced anything with Auggie so he treats him very badly. He also said that “What’s the deal with your face were you in a fire or something” and that was very rude.
