the wonders of "Wonder"

 

In the last two terms of grade 6 we have been reading a book named "Wonder" by Raquel J. Palacio i really loved this book and i would recommend it 

the part of the book that stood out for me is the fact that this boy named August (he has a deformed face) got bullied a lot and i can kind of relate to that since i have a deformed thumb and I've been bullied for it before i came to Elkanah 

this story hasn't changed me much but its changed the way i look at the world , my mum always said i used to look at the world differently to others but this book has honestly made me see the world in very "different" terms . I often see the world as colourful but there are some days when I'm sad were id rather hide from the world and now I'm usually looking at the colourful side . I mean if August could deal with it so can i 

Like i said earlier i would most likely identify with Augie/August because i know what its like not fitting in . it takes some time getting used to needing to hide or run from others in the world , I understand how hard it can be in a NEW SCHOOL not knowing ANYONE and being different . moving to different schools is hard enough , having a deformity as well only makes it harder 

well that's my experience with Wonder and i really enjoyed it . i would recommend it for people who like a lot of drama and excitement . There are some sad bits in the book if you like emotional reads but I'm not gonna spoil that for you . until next time bye
