Literary Essay Wonder

A literary Essay based of the book Wonder by R.J Palacio 

In the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio Auggie has to overcome the challenges that come with having a facial deformity but he eventually finds good friends. Theme of the story is that there are going to be issues in life but you just have to push through and keep going. In the end it will pay off. I think that is Auggie is special and different or a "Wonder". 

Earlier in  the story Auggie has to make some difficult decisions.  like when his mom wants him to go to school. “I don’t want to go to school” Auggie says folding his arms. “It would be good for you” His mom says. Auiggie feels like he doesn’t belong at school and every one will laugh at him. When Auggie actually gets to school for the first time he made some new friends. All the people that were giving him the tour were friendly to him.  He was starting to get used to being at a new school. This shows that Auggie is preserving and trying to make new friends.

Later in the story, Auggie finds out that not every one is nice as he thinks. Julian is mean to Auggie and Auggie tries to stay away from him. Julian started this thing called the plague and you get it if you touch Auiggie. It's like a disease or something. During Halloween Auggie decided to change his costume last minute and when he shows up to school he sees Jack calling Auggie mean names and making fun of his costume. Unfortunately it was just a misunderstanding because Jack thought that Auggie was coming in a different costume so he didn't know who he was making fun of but he shouldn't have any way.
