I chose this picture because it is the cover of the book and the quote is from the book.

The book Wonder is about a ten year old boy named August, also known as Auggie who was born with a disfigured his face. Because his face is deformed, he has a hard time making friends.  He lives in New York City with his Mom, Dad, and sister, Via where he has always been home schooled. Auggie is about to start 5th grade in a real school and is terrified of what kids will do when they see his face.

An examples of cause and effect from the book is when Auggie's friend Jack Will goes along with making fun of him with other boys when he doesn't know Auggie is listening. The effect is that Auggie is very hurt and stops being friends with Jack Will.

I choose this picture to show Auggie with his family.

Metaphor:
"Mom had had Via for years before and that had been such a walk in the park" (Mom's expression) (p. 6)

Simile:
"So sending him off to middle school like a lamb to the slaughter" p. 10

Another inference is from this statement: "He's just a kid. The weirdest-looking kid I've ever seen, yes. But just a kid" (p. 119)

Summer is saying that she accepts Auggie for who he is and that he is just a kid like everyone else.

I picked this picture because Auggie is most comfortable when he is wearing the helmet until he no longer needs it.

One inference I was able to make was when Via said ""August is the Sun. Me and Mom and Dad are the planets orbiting the Sun" (p. 82)

This is what Via says about how important August is and then everyone else comes second. It helped me to understand that she feels slightly jealous.

Wonder is written in first person. It is easy to know this because Auggie tells the story and often uses I in his sentences.

Ex :  " I wasn't used to waking up so early" (pg 61)

Auggie states a lot of  opinions in the book Wonder:

"Waking up to a snow day is just about my favorite thing in the world" (pg 146)

Auggie is giving his opinion on how he feels when he wakes up and it is a snow day.
