Wonder
Wonder is a great book. It engaged me and the story line is wonderful. It is about a young boy who's face is not like your's or mine, it is strange. His name is August. From what I have read August's parents are sending him to school even though he dose not want to. He does not want to go to school because of his face, he thinks that people will judge him. When he goes on the tour of the school, his mind might be changed after he meets two children and his principle Mr Tushman.
I can see why he might not want to go to school because when the uniform changed at my school I did not what to look different because I thought people would judge me too. I can also relate to why he is worried that the other kids would judge him because I have a friend that is different and some people judge him.
There are some questions I would like to ask the author. Why did she choose the name Wonder for the book and why did she choose the name August for the main characters name? These are some of the things I like to think of while reading Wonder.
All together Wonder is a hart warming book with a touching story line and I think the message is that it dose not matter what you look like it is about what's inside that counts.

A very thoughtful response to this wonderful book, James. Your connections clearly show you have great empathy for your friends which you also display in your interactions. I hope you continue to enjoy the book. It will be interesting to see if you are correct about the message.
ReplyDeleteHi James. Mrs Standring invited me to have a look at the year 5 blog - she and Mrs Spencer are bragging - again! I was really interested in your response - especially in your reflection about feeling different in your new school uniform. I would never have given that a thought but thanks to you I will be mindful of people's feelings. Thank you. I would like to read this book - I am very curious about it! Happy reading and happy blogging! Mrs Bell
