An important part in the book "Wonder" is when August's sister see's August as a baby at the hospital. This scene is important because Olivia the sister has to adapt to how August looks and she would get mad when people just stared at her brother. This part creates a little bit of conflict because Olivia starts arguing with the people staring at her brother. Olivia is surprised to see her brother and get all angry when people stare at her brother because August does not have a normal face and when people stare at him Olivia gets ticked off. This is at the Rising Action because it is just details getting into how August gets treated. "I knew he didnt look exactly normal, but I really didn't understand why strangers seemed so shocked when they saw him. Horrified. Scared. Sickened." (85) "There are so many words I can use to describe the looks on people's faces. ANd for a long time I didn't get it. I'd just get mad. Mad when they stared. Mad when they looked away. "what the heck are you looking at?" I'd say to people- even grown-ups." (85) I predict no one is going to want to be August's friend until they really get to know him and spend time with him.

An important scene in the book "Wonder" is when the main character August (Auggie) is going to meet his new principal, at his new school, and take a tour. This scene is important because August is a kid that does not have a normal face and he has been homeschooled all of his life because he didn't want people to see his face. August kind of makes a scene because he was going to take a tour around the school campus with 3 kids from school, and 2 of the 3 kids are nice and the other one is mostly like a bully. The characteristcs that August shows are being shy and non-confident about his facebecause in the tour August always had his face faceing the ground. August is really shy when he meets the principale but he was also really nervous. August was also shy when he went on the tour with the 3 other kids. This part of the amazong story is at the rising action. "I was about to say something else, but then all of sudden I heard other voices outside the office: kids' voices. I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but my heart literally started beating like I'd just run the longest race in the world. The laughter I had inside just poured out of me." (20) "What's the deal with your face? I mean, were you in a fire or something? "Julian that is so rude!" said Charlotte. "I'm not being rude," said Julian, "I'm just asking a question, Mr. Tushman said we could ask questions if we wanted to." "Not rude questions like thst," said Charlotte. "Besides he was born like that. That's what Mr. Tushman said. You just weren't listening." "I was so listening!" said Julian. "I just thought maybe he was in a fire too." "Geez, Julian, said Jack. "Just shut up." I predict that people won't like August because of his face but will grow to like him as the year develops. |
