December Book Review – Luxy Ruiz Title: Wonder Author: R.J. Palacio Genre: Children's Literature & Realistic Fiction Wonder is about a young 10-year-old boy, named August Pullman, with facial birth defects. Auggie shares his thoughts with us on how he feels about this situation. The main characters of this story are Auggie, Via (his sister), Julian, Jack Will, and Summer. The main characters of this story helped Auggie become less self-conscious of himself and make him feel normal. The main characters run into many problems. For example, Auggie gets judged by many of the kids at school, especially by Julian. Another example would be when Auggie and Jack get into a fight over something Jack had said. The main characters didn't have many adventures. However, they did come across very difficult tasks of life. My favorite character would have to be August Pullman. This is because despite all these obstacles he came across he managed to get past them. Another character I really …show more content…

This is because Via is the older sister who cares a lot her brother and is defensive towards him. She knows that her brother would need more attention due to his conditions. This is why Via learned not to bother her parents with the little things. Her parents thought she was the most understanding girl in the world or was she…. I have felt the way Via felt and tried not to bother my parents while they were going through a rough time. A book I have read before that I can connect to Summer too is Rose from Out Of My Mind. I think this because Summer is a supportive friend to Auggie and in Out Of My Mind so was Rose to Melody. A text-to-world connection I made was to connect Via from wonder to Jonathan from Stranger Things. This because Via is Aggie's older sister and is very protective of him. Jonathan from Stranger Things is very protective over his little brother after coming back traumatizing experience. This show they both really care about their

    I brought the story of my grandmother’s death to the text and it completely changed how I analyzed this text and ultimately came to relate to it. I drew connections I would have never drawn from simply reading this story once. It is clear, especially at the beginning of the story, that there was a lot of distance between the two brothers. When the narrator visits his dying brother, he “remembers the time when he was jealous,” (Lassell 480) and also the narrator tells himself to “forgive him out loud, even if he can’t understand you.” (Lassell 480)

    There were really no very interesting characters in this book. I was never one to be interested in history. There were some interesting parts though, for instance, the chapter about the railroad man was pretty good, and it was kind of cool that he got promoted to vice-president of the railroad he work on within a year after he started the job. Some of the wars he was in were ok as well. It sometimes amazes me that there were so many unnamed heroes.
