Polacio made there be several different narrators because it gives you the story from different perspectives which for me makes things less confusing. One question that I asked myself as I read the book is, does Auggie think of himself as ordinary or extraordinary, because in the beginning he says that he is not an ordinary kid, but as the story goes on he starts to act like all other ordinary kids. I predict that August will stand up to his bullies in the end and be treated like an ordinary kid.

A lot of things I can predict are going to happen because that's what happened in the movie. I can also make text-to-self connections, because I know what it's like going through middle school.

One conclusion I have drawn is that Auggies parents use most of their free time helping him because Via said that she wish she could spend more time with her mother since she's constantly at the hospital with him.  I can also draw the conclusion that Amos and Henry don't like Julien anymore because they helped Auggie when he was getting bullied.

They slant downward at an extreme angle, almost like diagonal slits that someone cut into his face, and the left one is noticeably lower than the right one," because it isn't too complicated, but descriptive enough to visualize.

The 'gist' of the story is there is a kid named August Pullman who has a face deformity which has made it hard to make friends. He starts to go to school for the first time. In his Journey through school he meets a lot of friends and a lot of bullies. In the end he learns a lot and gets treated finally like and ordinary kid.

At the end of the story he embraces his difference and begins to accept the fact that he is different and he becomes more confident and less shy  with other kids.

This is because at the beginning of the story nobody was very nice to Auggie because he looked different on the outside, but then people started to get to know what he was like on the inside and began to accept him as a normal kid.

The book starts with Auggie being really shy and not wanting to interact with anyone outside of his family. This then progresses to him him being able to talk to his administrators at school. Auggie meets some new friends and is comfortable talking to them. At the end of the story Auggie gets a standing ovation in front of his whole school and isn't shy. This shows that he went from a really shy kid, to being proud of himself and happy to not be isolated.

You get to know what people are thinking in their own way so you get several different takes on the same story, this  makes the story way easier to understand because you can learn the story from a bunch of different styles, so if you don't understand it from one you can understand it from one of the other ones.

This story also taught me that everybody has flaws that we don't want people to know about and just because his is a more visible flaw doesn't mean that he is a worse person.
