"Maybe I'm not so different from everyone else after all. It's like somebody gave me a puzzle, but I don't have the box with the picture on it. So I don't know what the final thing is supposed to look like. I'm not even sure if I have all the pieces."

"I can't believe how much you've grown up this year, Auggie," she said softly, putting her hands on the sides of my face.

"Do I look taller?"

"Definitely." She nodded.

"I'm still the shortest one in my grade."

"I'm not really even talking about your height," she said.

"I heard Maya, who was next to me, give a little happy scream when she heard my name, and Miles, who was on the other side of me, patted my back. "Stand up, get up!" said kids all around me, and I felt lots of hands pushing me upward out of my seat, guiding me to the edge of the row, patting my back, high-fiving me. "Way to go, Auggie!" "Nice going, Auggie!" I even started hearing my name being chanted: "Aug-gie! Aug-gie! Aug-gie!" I looked back and saw jack leading the chant, fist in the air, smiling and signaling for me to keep going, and Amos shouting through his hands: "Woo-hoo, little dude!"

Summary and Rationale of "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

# data[].attributes.body
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost tells a tale of a person whose future was influenced by their past.  This relates to the essential question of how do different backgrounds shape different people? because they both relate to the past and how it affects the future.

Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper tells the story of a young girl born with cerebral palsy.  Because of this disorder Melody Brooks struggles to move her body.  However, Melody's brain is very well developed.  She has  a photographic memory but due to her disorder she struggles to communicate it with others.  When she finally reaches fifth grade she is given a medi-talker.  This allows her to effectively communicate with her peers.  She is finally able to prove her genius.  After some hard work she earns a spot on her schools whizkids team.  But when the team has a competition in another state they move up their flight and leave Melody behind.  These events shaped her into someone who knows what is actually important to them.  They also allowed her to feel like a normal kid.  Which was something she struggled to achieve at the beginning of the novel.

"Jack's version of the story was probably the best because he's so funny, but in whatever version of the story, and no matter who was telling it, two things always stayed the same: I got picked on because of my face and Jack defended me, and those guys—Amos, Henry, and Miles—protected me. And now that they'd protected me, I was different to them. It was like I was one of them."

Wonder tells the story of a young kid named Auggie who has mandibulofacial dysostosis, also known as Treacher Collins Syndrome.  A very rare condition that leads to abnormalities in cheekbones, eyes, ears, and chin.  He is home schooled through his early childhood but he reaches a point where his mother cannot keep educating him.  So he is forced to go to a public middle school.  Auggie faces torment, even by those he believes to be close to him.  But, late in the story many of those who tormented Auggie stand up for him when he is assaulted. Even though he sustains physical injuries and loses very expensive hearing aids the incident still results in a net gain for him. He realizes that he is not as disliked as he thought and that other people would risk their own physical well being to protect him. At the end of the story Auggie is much more comfortable, happy, and confident.

"The Road Not Taken" By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Quote From Nelson Mandela and Rationale 

# data[].attributes.body
This quote by Nelson Mandela explains the importance of how different back rounds help shape the present and even future of everyone.   The quote says that if you know someones back round and embrace it your relations with them will be much more in depth, personal, and better.  Embracing someone else's culture also helps more people be accepted.

The essential question and the newspaper article How Memories of Experience Influence Behavior both allude to the idea of the present being influenced by past events.  Specifically how people are swayed by their back rounds.  The article addresses the psychological impact of past events on decision making.  It does so by presenting an anecdote.  The anecdote is about how you view a product, store or restaurant.  If one major event happens that stays with you, consciously or sub-consciously.  This applies to the essential question because a person's back round will impact every decision they make, consciously or sub-consciously.

The magazine article addresses many differences in how people from different places eat, talk, make decisions, value different things, and where they prioritize themselves or others.  For example, the article recognizes a cultural difference in Asia vs Europe.  Adults in Europe tend to much more outgoing and more willing to adventure out of their comfort zone than adults in Asian countries.  This is traced back to how those adults were raised and therefor their back rounds.

The premise of the entire Divergent series is a city divided into four sectors based on personality traits and values. When a child has reached a certain age they are given the choice, stay with your family and culture you were raised in or start anew in another faction. Veronica Roth explains early on in the book that each factor has certain characteristics that they fall in line with. The personalities of the sectors don't change from generation to generation because those that choose to stay with their families absorb the culture of the faction. Then, they repeat the process with their kids.

Captain America is someone who was brought up one way and held on to those values with everything he had.  This makes him a perfect example of how back rounds shape people. He would be very different if he hadn't been raised with patriotic values. He could have even become the very thing he fights against.

Battlefield is a game about World War 1. One very obvious trait is that soldiers from each country have their own values. For example, some countries are much more willing to sacrifice one for the lives of many. On the other hand, some countries do whatever they can to eliminate any possibility of casualties.

Rationale of How Culture Drives Behaviours

# data[].attributes.body
The Ted Talk How Culture Drives Behaviours explains how all cultures and back rounds are different. For example Julien was raised in a culture with a style of socialization different form where he now lives, Norway. The reason for this is all around the world people are raised into different environments. This then determines how they act, make decisions, and think. This back round can be altered with exposure to people of other back rounds.
