Because his face is deformed, he has a hard time making friends.  He lives in New York City with his Mom, Dad, and sister, Via where he has always been home schooled.

I chose this picture because it is the cover of the book and the quote is from the book.]]> 2019-01-05 00:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317551932 53003 https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317617397 Auggie states a lot of  opinions in the book Wonder:

"Waking up to a snow day is just about my favorite thing in the world" (pg 146)

Auggie is giving his opinion on how he feels when he wakes up and it is a snow day.]]> 2019-01-06 00:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317617397 53003 https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317617410 Wonder is written in first person. It is easy to know this because Auggie tells the story and often uses I in his sentences.

Ex :  " I wasn't used to waking up so early" (pg 61)]]> 2019-01-06 00:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317617410 53003 https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317617426 One inference I was able to make was when Via said ""August is the Sun. Me and Mom and Dad are the planets orbiting the Sun" (p. 82)

This is what Via says about how important August is and then everyone else comes second. It helped me to understand that she feels slightly jealous.]]> 2019-01-06 00:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317617426 53003 https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317617464 Another inference is from this statement: "He's just a kid. The weirdest-looking kid I've ever seen, yes. But just a kid" (p. 119)

Summer is saying that she accepts Auggie for who he is and that he is just a kid like everyone else.]]> 2019-01-06 00:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317617464 53003 https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317618907 Metaphor:
"Mom had had Via for years before and that had been such a walk in the park" (Mom's expression) (p. 6) ]]> 2019-01-06 01:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317618907 53003 https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/317700446 Simile:

The effect is that Auggie is very hurt and stops being friends with Jack Will.]]> 2019-01-07 23:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/53003/sbf20nwa0z0v/wish/318125685
