veryone is unique in his or her own special way. Wonder by RJ Palacio is about a boy named Auggie, who has a severe face deformity, and kids make fun of him for being simply unique. In the story, Auggie tries to change himself to appeal to others, but you don’t have to do this; the only person you have to make happy is yourself. Auggie has a very unique feature that he got rid just because it didn’t appeal others. Auggie ‘s smart, funny, and courageous. But his facial abnormality resulted in him having 27 operations. He is always sensitive to how other kids and adults react to him. Auggie was schooled at home, but the real problems for him starts when goes to school and has to fit it. This makes readers feel sad. This book shows that kids aren’t supposed to be made fun of each other just because they are different. Kids or adults aren’t supposed to be made fun of at all! They need to accept how others are or they will be treated the same way. I can relate to this book because I know how this feels to be bullied because of differences. I have been bullied before, but we have to remember that our differences make us who we are. Just like Auggie, who is amazing no matter what people say, each person is amazing. If you feel down on how you look or how you are, don’t worry! You are amazing in every special way. People love the way you are!. Even if you don’t think you’re special you are! MARCH 2017
