The novel Wonder is in 1st point of view. First point of view is when a character from the story narrates the novel. You know when a character is narrating the story when he/she uses words like " I thought ,we , this was". The character expresses  their thoughts and feeling while narrating the story. This helps me understand the story better, because i get to know what they are thinking during a conflict. Who they would blame, which makes me think deeper into the story. When the novel is in first point of view, the character narrating the story expresses their  opinions on the actions other characters make and their decisions . Which makes me wonder if they are doing the right thing. And if their feelings about their decisions are going to effect the conflict of the story.  ]]> 2018-03-06 16:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mdinorcia/7tst0tpno6ya/wish/238731665 mdinorcia https://padlet.com/mdinorcia/7tst0tpno6ya/wish/238731872       In the realistic fiction novel, Wonder, by R.J. Palacio , the theme of the story is "what goes around comes around." The theme "what goes around comes around", means whatever you do that really stands out, good or bad, to someone or something else will always come back to you. If you do something good to someone else, something good will happen to you. There are many examples, of "what goes around comes around" in the novel. But this one really stands out. After all the bullying Auggie endured, when a guy named Eddie follows him and Jack into the woods, and starts bullying them. Then, some surprising kids come to the rescue, and stand up to the bully.  ""Yo, dude"said a new voice behind us. "What's up man" eddie spun around and pointed his flashlight  toward the voice.

Palacio, this book deserves a 100 out of five, but since we have to choose 1-5, it deserves a 5. Why? This book is a genuine story of a boy named Auggie, and our mistakes. Our mistake is that we bully people who are "extraordinary" and we can't help it.  We can't recognize greatness.This little boy Auggie almost died because a bully named Eddie had to make fun of him because of his "face deformity". It is a very emotional story, and really gives us a feel, that words hurt. they leave scars that cannot be hidden. August didn't do anything to deserve anything  to deserve all the bullying, and appearance, yet we are the ones who look normal when we make more mistakes than Auggie ever could make. " You can't fit in when you were born to stand out". Some people in the world are a truly a wonderful miracle. This book teaches us to ,love, to feel hurt, to be kinder than necessary, and to recognize  true greatness with the true friends in life. August may say otherwise, but I really do think he is extraordinary. This book, was made with wonder, love, and a little boy named "Auggie".]]> 2018-03-11 17:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mdinorcia/7tst0tpno6ya/wish/240599572
