Book Talk

I am reading "Wonder" by R J Palacio, a fiction book.

     The story mainly takes place in two different places. One is in the character's house and at school. The main character in the book that I'm reading is August. August was born with a disability, and looks very different than the other kids. Nobody talks to August because of the way he looks and because he's different from them. August is described as scary looking, so far in the book there hasn't been a solution to this problem yet but the problem is August's disability. If it weren't for this, he would have a normal life just like every other kid does too. The whole mood or theme changes in the story. I mainly find it sad because no body talks to August just because of the way he looks or his disability, everyone is the same no matter what. The theme of this text/story is not to judge someone by how they look, people are judging August because of how he looks/disability, and they even called scary looking which is worse. People just judge by appearance not by who you are.

I like this book because it gets you wanting to read more of it. In every chapter the author gives everybody's point of view. The point of views he gives are from, August, his classmates, family, and more. With the author doing that you can see how everybody feels while this problem is going on. I recommend some people to read this book because it is honestly read good.
