Mr. Hube was wearing a bright purple sweater with tan khakis, and was extra fidgety. Something got him all hot and bothered, and it was obvious. His pale blue eyes glanced the room, and the pauses, he worried his lower lip, driving Charlotte crazy, that his outfit choice was bold for a teacher and that he appeared nervous to speak in front of his own class.…

    Character Analysis: Wonder By Palacio

    During this week of reading Wonder By Palacio a quote that popped up to me was “Does August see how other people see him, or has he gotten so good at pretending not to see that it doesn’t bother him? Or does it bother him? When he looks in the mirror, does he see the Auggie Mom and Dad sees or does he see the Auggie everyone else see? Or is there another August he sees, someone in his dreams behind the misshapen head and face?” because It made me think about how August feels about how other people look at him and how his parents look at him. Also it made me wonder how Mom and Dad look at August is different by the way other people look at him and how he looks at himself. This made me feel bad for August having to deal with what other people…

    Why Does Beecher Treat August

    He is taken to his homeroom class, and the science laboratory. August isn`t excited to go to school in a very crowded, public area because of his deformed face. He is worried that people will treat him differently. For instance, whenever August is walking down the street, people would stare at him, and treat him much differently than they would treat someone with no disorders. This made August feel very self conscious. Julian is making this new experience much more difficult for August. Julian is not treating August with respect, because he thinks that just because August has a deformed face he has no feelings. He asks August questions that make him feel very unwelcomed, and uncomfortable. August experiences Julian`s very sceptical…

    In Wonder by R. J. Palacio, August is a kid with facial birth defects. In the beginning of the story August said, “I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you are thinking, it’s probably worse.” August lives with his parents, sister, and their dog, Daisy. His sister, Olivia, is going into her first year of high school. August is a normal ten year old kid on the inside but it can be almost impossible for people to look past his face and judge him by his personality. August goes to his first school when he is starting fifth grade. August has never gone to schools before because of all his surgeries on his body. At his first school, Beecher Prep, he meets these kids, Julian, Jack Will, and Charlotte, who are forced to be friends with him.…

    Wonder Maggie Character Analysis

    Auggie has lived his whole life being stared at and given weird looks, so much so he just has to pretend he doesn’t see all the faces people make when they see him and his distorted face, but now he has had to endure those kinds of looks everyday from his classmates in his first ever year at school in 5th grade. However, despite all the looks, bullying, and exclusion, school was still undoubtedly the most amazing experience Auggie has ever had in his life. After reading Wonder by R.J. Palacio I believe that Auggie going to Beecher prep not only had a positive impact on his life, but also for all of his fellow classmates and teachers Auggie’s heart has touched. Auggie may have had some of the worst days of his life at Beecher prep, but…

    In Wonder by R.J Palacio we follow the journey of August Pullman who has a very rare genetic deformity. In this essay I discussed the point of view of Jack, Summer and Via. These characters are all very nice to August. The message that the author is trying to get across in this book is that it’s about what people are like on the inside not the outside and you should accept it if people are physically different to…

    Art Experience by Justin Lopez

    I have been doing art for as long as I can remember. From the time I was in Kindergarden to my senior year in high school I've been doing arts and crafts. I've had art teachers, vacation bible school leaders, and my parents teaching me how to create things my whole life. I usually only recieve art instruction when I sign up for art courses. I've completed all sorts of art projects including paintings, clay, abstract, landscapes and all other types of activities. I had two very good art instructors in high school and they were very critical and rewarding and that probably is why I enjoy art as much as I do. I've had a very broad range of activities from drawing with charcoal and pencils to painting and sculptings. For the most part most of my art activities weren't holiday centered they were more of your own imagination and idea's. All of my art projects were graded on pretty specific grading rubrics. It measured how much you worked on it and made sure that you followed all of the necessary guidelines. I have had a great experience with art in my past and I'm excited to learn more about it. My strengths in art I would say would be that I really enjoy drawing and shading pictures of things and my weakness is that I don't really know that much about the history of art and where it all came from. Art relates to society very much so. Advertising is used everywhere you go and you wouldn't have that without art skills. I am very excited to learn more about the history of art and sharpen up my old art…

    'School' By Peter Cowan

    The text information in Peter Cowan's short story School, has been constructed in a way that we as the reader can interpret it in countless more ways than what it may mean on a surface level. Cowan limits the information of the text to allow the reader to form their own meaning. The text does not provide complete information about the boy in the story; it merely implies that he is feeling alienated and depressed. There is no text information that unambiguously explains that the boy is feeling alienated and excluded. In the last paragraph, the boy's difficulty is described by, 'He looked at the symbols on the paper and they blurred and made no pattern.' In this sentence, we assume that he does not understand the work, but this is only inferred. This text can be analysed as being limited in text information; to interpret it, the reader has to make assumptions of the omitted information.…
