yolandive — 2018-03-11 20:33:16 UTC

Auggie's family is loving, funny, protective, and supportive—and everyone who knows the Pullmans can see what a nurturing and caring family they are. Through all his struggles along the way, his family is always there to comfort him, to shore him up, to encourage and support him, and to celebrate his victories.

It only takes one person to help someone who was once lonely feel much more confident and secure, and the friends that Auggie makes in the course of the novel play a huge role in helping him to get through his first year at school.

yolandive — 2018-03-11 20:34:59 UTC

Kindness features prominently in this novel, as many of Auggie's struggles in life are linked to the unkind responses of others.

Middle school is often a cutthroat place, and kids who are different in any clear way will stand out from the crowd and face bullying as a result of their differences. Auggie's differences are evident the minute he steps foot in school; however, the other kids must try to get used to the way he looks and accept him for who he is.

Auggie shows great courage in surmounting all of the obstacles that he faces in his life. He pushes on despite the kids who mock him, torment him, and bully him, revealing true strength of character.

yolandive — 2018-03-11 20:36:38 UTC

Popularity is an important theme in this novel: multiple characters struggle with the choice between doing what will make them popular and doing what they know is right.

yolandive — 2018-03-11 20:39:20 UTC

August hasn't had hordes of friends over the course of his life, but he's well-liked by the friends he does have, and warmly loved by his family.

The Who sum up the question best with "Who Are You?"—and they really want to know. So do we. Are you the same person you are at home as you are at school?

Wether the reaction will be kind, respectful or rude he will have to learn or adapt to how different types of people see him. These situations are or can be linked to kindess.

Auggies family is very loving and supporting. I know this because, in the book, whenever Auggie is feeling sad or lonely, his family will always be there to comfort him. For example, when Auggie’s sad because he doesn’t want to go to school, his parents are there with him making jokes.

August is popular, not because of how he dresses or acts (like how Julien is wealthy) but because of his facial features and the way that people see him meaning that students who attend the same school as him know him by his face.

For about the first 9 - 10 years of his life, Auggie spends most of his life feeling isolated from everyone else. For example, when he first goes to school, no - one apart from Jack and Summer want to be his friend, everyone else cringes just just when they accidentally touch him, this made him feel isolated, lonely and sad.

August's family is and has to be supportive due to the fact of August's facial feaures which leads to people judging him and making hard for him (in his words) feel normal. So August's relatives are supporting him in practicly every thing he does.

August is a very kind kid- he doesn't judge others because he knows the pain of being judged and doesn't want other's to experience the same pain he did.
