Your deeds are your monuments.
I think that means what you do will kind of stick on you like memories. and what you do will be remembered by everyone and people will think that’s the type of person you are depending on what you do or say and anything you do and in the book we are reading the main character august does alot of brave things and people remember him for that.
And also his friend jack did looks of things he is remembered by. Like he was friends with august. At first it was because Mr. Tushman asked him to be friends with august. But then later on it was proved that jack enjoyed being friends with august and its really boring without him. and alot of people thought that was cool of him.
