\u201cNow here is my secret. It is only with one\u2019s heart one can see clearly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.\u201d \u2013Antoine de Saint-Exupry.<\/p>\n
I think that his quote is at the beginning of Jack\u2019s perspective because he wanted to be friends with Auggie, but at the same time he wanted to be cool and popular. Basically be with the cool kids or something.<\/p>\n
What I think this quote means to say is that no one is perfect, people come in different shapes and sizes. I also think that it means not everyone can see someone the way you see them. But we humans are just so quick to judge. But it is part of our nature. I have an example that I have for you today. One of my classmates asked me last night, \u201cHow come you don\u2019t like (blank)?\u201d Then I said, \u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t like him, it\u2019s just because he was mean to me before. I didn\u2019t like him not because of the way he looked, I didn\u2019t like him because he was pretty violent. Jack knows how Auggie was being treated by Julian. All that people see when they look at Auggie is a monster, an alien. But if they only gave him a chance to speak, he\u2019d be the funniest, kindest, loyalist person they could have. If we as humans just didn\u2019t care about how each and every one of us looked, there would be no racism or sexism in the world. Auggie tries hard to impress the people in his school, when he really shouldn\u2019t. We\u2019ve all looked at someone and at least thought. \u201cWow, he\/she is really ugly.\u201d Or something like that. Don\u2019t lie you haven\u2019t done it before. But even though we do these things, we must be mindful for these things that we as humans say thoughtlessly. It could scar someone for life.<\/p>\n
At the beginning of the quote, \u201cNow here is my secret.\u201d As I said, Jack wanted to be with the popular group but at the same time he wanted to be friends with Auggie. Which plays as his secret. How you may ask? Well, its Jack\u2019s secret because he never told anyone. When Julian bullied Auggie, all Jack did was watch. But he sometimes stepped in and gave poor Auggie a hand. But at some point of Jack\u2019s perspective, he says he doesn\u2019t want to be Julian\u2019s friend anymore.<\/p>\n
