No surprise there. I know how she feels, I too have a little brother named Nicco. He had cancer, and a lot of surgeries. I guess that\u2019s how August and Nicco are sort of alike. Olivia and I are the oldest, which means we have more responsibility and more is expected from us.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia understands that Auggie has been through a lot but at the same time she also feels jealous of him because we all need and want some attention once in a while.<\/p>\n<p>When Nicco was still taking his liquid medicine, he would always cry and have a tantrum because it tasted bad. My dad would get mad because he wouldn\u2019t listen. My dad has been taking care of Nicco and I for a long time. If my dad didn\u2019t take care of Nicco, he would have died. My brother owes his life to our dad. Because my dad was so busy taking care of us, he now doesn\u2019t have a job and my mom is the only one that works. Nicco complains that my parents are too strict, but he deserves it.<\/p>\n<p>Via and I are alike because we both have little brothers that have some sort of illness. They\u2019ve both been in a lot of surgeries and survived.<\/p>\n<p>Via and Auggie are wiser beyond their years because they have both been through a lot and know that anytime something bad might happen to one of them. Life is too short to be selfish. Via has trouble with school, and Auggie has trouble with how she looks. Via knows that her parents are too busy to deal with what she wants, so she does it by herself. That\u2019s why she\u2019s so independent. Auggie is wiser beyond his years because he has felt a lot of pain, well we all have. He knows if he puts himself out there, he\u2019ll get made fun of. So he hides himself and is more cautious of what he does.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I think how Olivia and August are wiser beyond their years. \u201cI won\u2019t describe what I look like. But whatever you\u2019re thinking about, it\u2019s probably worse.\u201d \u2013Wonder by R.J Palacio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via is jealous?! No surprise there.
