1a) -he had weak social skills
-low self-esteem
-bad outer appearance
-social rejection
b) The schools on Ludus cover the entire planet and look totally the same. They are    giant and luxurios and are not limited to physical laws.
c) -there is no bullying
-no insults about appearance

2) The three places show different stages of what Wade thinks is a perfect society. While the public school is clearly a dystopia for him with bullying and no acceptance, Incipio and especially Ludus with the equal virtual characters are like "heaven". So the virtual world seems much more attractive to Wade, letting him dive deep into this reality.

2.

# data[].attributes.body
3 a)
1 -he is looking for reasons for his appearance and the related dissatisfaction because he is also bullied by fellow students due to his overweight
2- I don’t know
3- he compares his situation at school like Darwinian exercise cause he wants not to „die“ at school by all the bullying so he isolate hisself for safety
4-  he radically criticized the public school system because he knows about the behavior in this system and he know how it could be like in OASIS so he is afraid about the real public system
b) maybe the protagonist is so depressed by the bullying that he eat much more cause of the pain - there is an psychologically illness called binch-eating  it is the opposite of an anorexia... but it’s also the daily unconfirmed feeling at school - I think he can not identify hisself as an average student and that is the problem in the public school system

# data[].attributes.body
1. a) -he does not feel comfortable in the state school because he is bullied and is an outsider he has no friends in school, classmates bully him because of his overweight, his clothes and acne
- that is why he wants to go to the OASIS online school because there he cannot be hurt and bullied by others plus he is already addicted to OASIS it is like a kind of refuge for him
b)the schools in ludus are all identical as they come from the same construction code, the schools are huge places to learn the classrooms are likened to cathedrals, there are libraries where you can find every book written
c) OASIS is much better in Wade‘s opinion cause he can go straight to his hideout and stayed there all day and the most important fact is that he can’t be bullied any longer at OASIS he feel safe

Task 1

a) Wade‘s reasons for wanting to attend the new OASIS public school :

- real school hadn‘t be a very pleasant experience ( lines 1-2 )

- he was too shy to make friends in real life ( line 2 )

- he is more confident online ( line 4 )

- he was afraid of being judged by his appearance ( bullying )~> this problem does not exist online ( line 8 )

- besides, he is not dressed as stylishly as the others and only owns thrift shop clothes ( line 13 ) ~> the right and expensive style has become important nowadays

- he is an outcast in real life school ( line 16 )

- he describes school as: a daily gauntlet of ridicule, abuse and isolation ( lines 21-22 )

- In online school ( OASIS ) he can talk to other noobs like him and create a own avatar the way he want him to look like ( lines 44 - 45 )

b) school on Ludus

Ludus is the planet where all the OASIS public schools were located. ( lines 49-50 )

All schools look the same because they have the same constriction code. it is only copied again and again and used in other places. ( lines 53-54 )

the appearance is not dependent on any limitations or laws of physics, so there are marble hallways, cathedral-like classrooms, zero-g gymnasiums and virtual libraries containing every (school-biard-approved) bool ever written. ( lines 54-58 )

C) Wade‘s opinion on OPS #1873

advantages of OASIS

-he doesn't have to run away from bullies and drug addicts anymore because he can just stay in his hiding place ( lines 60-61 )

- nobody can see his insecurities ( lines 61-63 )

- he feels safe Because Nobody Can hurt him psychologically and physically
