Wonder By R. J. Palacio by Sophia von Drechsel https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418 Made by Sophia von Drechsel en-us 2019-07-16 17:05:29 UTC 2019-08-14 01:55:56 UTC hello@padlet.com "My name is August, by the way. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you are thinking, It's probably worse." Pg 1, Category: Text to World 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/371766185 This reminds me of how a lot of people over exaggerate about things about them, to make them sound cooler, or for people to have sympathy for them]]> 2019-07-20 22:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/371766185 "It took about two weeks for my grade to get used to it, and a month for the whole school." Pg:63 Category: Plot developments 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/371766412 This quote from the story shows that August soon got used to everyone staring, and everyone got used to him. I think that the plot has developed because if people are not going to make fun of his face, then how will the story still be interesting.]]> 2019-07-20 23:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/371766412 "His eyes are an inch below where they should be. They slant downward, like someone had cut slits into his face. They bulge outwards, because his eye cavities are to shallow for his eye. He doesnt have any eyebrows or eye lashes. His head is pinched, where his ears should be. He doesn't have cheek bones." Pg: 88 Catagory: Visualizing 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/371766568 This passage is very good at making the reader visualize what Auggie looks like, because he did not tell us at the begging of the book. Us, as the reader, has probably thought of Auggie looking different.]]> 2019-07-20 23:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/371766568 "She said to tell you she misses you" Pg: 117 Category: Questioning 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/371766764 This quote was said by Auggie as he was talking about a phone call that he got from Miranda, and that is what she said. This makes me question why did Miranda change so much, and not hang out with Via over the summer, if she missed her?]]> 2019-07-20 23:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/371766764 "People even joke around with me sometimes, everyone is acting like I am normal." Pg:209 Category: Inference 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372068969 Before this quote, Auggie was talking about how everyone did not like Julian anymore, and were starting to like Auggie more. My Inference is, that Auggie will slowly have more and more friends, and Julian will not have any, therefore making Auggie "popular", and Julian not. ]]> 2019-07-23 20:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372068969 "They started leading me out of the crowd,and I have to admit, for the first time in a very, very long time, I felt absolutely happy." Pg:248 Category: main character changes 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372303517 This is something that one of the main characters Miranda said. This was after the play, and Via puts her arm around Miranda. In my opinion this is a good example of how one of the main characters changes. At the beginning of the story, Miranda was thinking that she was too cool for Via, and gossiping about her, but near the end, she has become welcomed, and has felt home when she became closer with Via. ]]> 2019-07-25 18:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372303517 "I loved the way bits of fire dust would float up and disappear into the night sky. The stars looked as if someone had sprinkled salt onto a black table" Pg: 258 Category: writing style 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372304993 This sentence that the author wrote is very descriptive, and it creates and Image in my mind. The type of writing style that the author has used here is imagery and self to text. I think that it is Imagery because it describes how the stars look in the night sky. I also think that it is text to self, because I can relate to seeing the fire dust float up into the air and become ash.]]> 2019-07-25 18:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372304993 "You really are a wonder, Auggie. You are a wonder." Pg: 310 Category: Explanation of the theme 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372402669 I believe that this shows the theme, because it is about finding your true self. At first Auggie thought that he was a freak and no one wanted to look at him, because of the extra cells in his face. But then he soon realized, there is no one like him, he is a wonder. Which means that the theme of the story is, find your true self.]]> 2019-07-26 17:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372402669 Category: summery of the book 3-5 Pg: throughout the whole book 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372403026 August Pullman is not like you average kid, Auggie was born with a few extra chromosomes in his face. At First, he was home schooled, then his parents transferred to a middle school. How do you think that his middle school experience will turn out? Read to find out. ]]> 2019-07-26 17:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372403026 Category: Explanation of your opinion on the book Pg: throughout the whole book 2192454 https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372403635 My opinion on the book Wonder is it is an amazing book, and tells a wonderful story. Although, I got confused, because it switches who is narrating the story.]]> 2019-07-26 17:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/2192454/5n9eulpty418/wish/372403635
