I just didn’t give my actions any thought and poor people like Auggie had careless and unaware people doing things all the time that made him feel bad about himself while he had no control over it.Īfter reading this book I would most definitely react differently to someone like August. Like Charlotte I wouldn’t give them a handshake.
I wouldn’t picture myself in their shoes and think about how they face being stared at wherever they go. I would not have worried about how they felt when I stared at them for something they could not control. I realize that me assuming such a thing is completely rude and judgmental. I am embarrassed to say that I would just assume that since I have read this book. Charlotte wasn’t necessarily unkind to Auggie she just didn’t become one of his close friends, another thing I would have done.īefore reading, Wonder I am sad to say at first glance I would have looked at someone with facial deformities and assumed he or she had special needs. Charlotte was trying her best to be nice to Auggie but she didn’t become friends with him, I would most likely do the same and stay my distance when I wasn’t forced to be with him. Normally when meeting someone I would shake his or her hand but I would most likely be a little shy around someone like August. If I were to meet someone like Auggie I probably would have done something similar. In the book August says when he meets Charlotte “she gave me a quick wave, a smile, and said nice to meet you”. The character I think I would have reacted similar to would be Charlotte.
Before reading this book if I saw someone like Auggie I would have definitely reacted differently. The book Wonder has definitely changed my perspective.
