Wonder
Literary Essay
By. Olivia Bakirci 5th Grade Mr. Joseph
Depending on how you look at it, wonder can teach you many life lessons.
After reading the story Wonder, and talking about it with others it seems that
everyone sees the same message in the book. So many people do this and they don’t
even realize it.
The important idea in the book Wonder is that you
should never judge a boy by his face. Pretty much they are saying don’t judge a
book by its cover. The story is about a boy who has a facial deformity and he
was always homeschooled. For fifth grade he decides he will go to a real
school, he it is easier than he thought but harder for a kid like him. The
theme in the story is that you really shouldn’t be a bully because it may hurt
the person much more than you think.
In
the story you will see how Auggie changes, gets stronger and has more friends.
For example, he met Summer, he thought the principal talked to her. But the
principal didn’t, she just was doing it to be nice, that made auggie happy.
This shows that if you are nice to others then you can change some ones day.
" Jack: can we b frenz agen? August: ok Jack: awsum!!!! August: lol yes
dude we'r fenz agen. " That made auggie happy that he got an email from
jack.
Also he met Jack, the principal talked to him but
later on jack actually liked auggie. For example, he didn’t really like auggie
until he realized that auggie was a nice kid and that he was a great friend and
his face didn’t matter. This shows that if you really spend time with someone
then you may find that someone is better than you thought.
By the end
of the story auggie has freinds and is not judged by his face but by his heart.
For example, summer and jack don’t even care about how he looks anymore. This
shows that if you look past how the person looks they may be prettier inside
than out. In some situations the person may seem weird or crazy, but don’t
judge them if it only happened once. Or twice or even three times. Give them
more than one chance. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you like to be them if
people judge them all the time? I don’t think that you would.
So
the theme in the story is don’t be mean because it could hurt that person so
much more then you think. Some kids and maybe some adults judge people about
how they look. And the way jack became auggies friend shows that if people are
nice you realize who you really are. Are you a bully who makes people feel bad
or are you a nice caring person? This relates to real life because so many
people are bullied by their skin color or how they look. Is it really
necesarry? Stand up for yourself. And don’t make others feel bad about who they
are just because they are slightly different than you!
