The Ending Of A Wonderful Story

1. Explain August’s fears of going on school retreat/camp, were they justified?
   Of course, they are justified! It the first time he's slept away from home and he's stuck four hours away with people like Julian. Think of it this way, how would you feel if you were in Auggie's situation?
2. Compare Eddie and Julian. How are they similar/ different. How do their interactions with August reveal their character?
   They're both bullies, we see this through the way they act around Auggie. While Eddie is a lot more obvious with his insults, Julian says things that aren't so obvious and can get more under someone's skin/
3. Explain how August's relationship with his classmates has changed since he first started going to Beecher Prep, give explanations.
   In the beginning, most people treated August like he had some sort of plague. But as the story goes on, people, other students, start to warm up to him, treat him like a normal boy.
4. Describe how August has shown greatness during his year at Beecher Prep? Do you think he deserves the medal? Why?
   August has gone through so much throughout the year and never gave up. By "give up," I mean he never dropped out. I personally think he deserves the medal after having to deal with Julian and other bullies all while having a smile on his face. Sort of.
5. Compare the character of Auggie at the beginning of the book and in the final chapters. How has he changed and what has contributed to this change?
   At the beginning of the book, August was a shy, not very talkative boy but as the story goes on he comes out of his shell and becomes a lot more confident.
6. Describe your favourite character in the story. Explain their impact on the story and why you picked them.
   I really like Via. She's such a strong girl, having to hold the burden of being the older sister of a "deformed" kid. I feel like I can see bits of myself in her, the way that she thinks and acts etc.
7. This story explores the themes of; Friendship, Betrayal, Overcoming Challenges, Bullying and Family Relationships. Create a brainstorm web for each of these themes that shows what the story has told for each theme.
8. What do you think Auggie's future holds? What do you think will happen in his life?
   I think his life will have a lot of ups and downs, it will be a rocky road, but he'll get through it.
