Palacio, the main character of the story is August Pullman, or Auggie for short. some of his character traits are intelligent and has a deformed face. Evidence that supports these traits are, "I know academically it's been a great year for you. You're one of our top students. Congrats on the high honor roll" (Palacio, 285), and, "It's not just that he's a new kid mom' I answered. 'He's deformed" (Palacio, 135). Another character in the story is Summer. She is sympathetic and understanding. Evidence that supports these traits are, "I sat with him that first say because I felt sorry for him" (Palacio, 119), and, " I would have stayed mad at him longer but then he told me about something bad that happend to him on Halloween ans I couldn't stay mad at him longer" (Palacio, 126)]]> 2018-03-07 17:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sbriskie/mangodog/wish/239272714 sbriskie https://padlet.com/sbriskie/mangodog/wish/239793360 In the realistic fiction novel Wonder By R.J. Palacio, the story is written in first person. However, there are different parts in the story, which shows different points of views of different characters. This helped me understand the story better because showed how one event affected different characters in different ways. It affected how other characters might of felt positive or negative for a event. It affected characters, for the better or worst. This also helps devolves the characters and personality. ]]> 2018-03-08 17:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sbriskie/mangodog/wish/239793360 sbriskie https://padlet.com/sbriskie/mangodog/wish/239808358 In the realistic fiction novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio,  the theme of Wonder is to not judge a book by it's cover. This statement means to not make assumptions by what they look like or what clothing they wear. This relates to Wonder because in the story, on the first day of school, people didn't want to be friends with him because of his looks, but then once they look past his face, they realize that he is different than they thought and they want to be friends with him.]]> 2018-03-08 17:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sbriskie/mangodog/wish/239808358 sbriskie https://padlet.com/sbriskie/mangodog/wish/239817881 In the realistic fiction novel Wonder by R.J.

Palacio? I can easily give it 5 stars. I give it this rating because the book does a lot of things right. At the beginning of the story, I felt bad for Auggie, and at the end, I realized how much Auggie and every other character has changed, and I felt happy for them. R.J. Palacio knows how to properly develop a character so that you feel the same emotions as that character. Also, splitting the story into different parts with a different prospective's is a genius idea. it shows how different events affected different characters in different ways, and it adds more depth to the characters than there already is. I would easily recommend this book to any person who is thinking about reading this book, and the whole story will be planted in my brain for the rest of my life.]]> 2018-03-09 16:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sbriskie/mangodog/wish/240249111
