I began reading the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio to my reading classes today. I only had time to introduce the book and read chapter 1 - Ordinary. In this chapter, Auggie, the main character, lets us know how badly he wants to be just an ordinary kid. What exactly is an ordinary kid and why do you think it's so important to Auggie that he is seen this way? Let me know what you guys think!
I really want to know what Aggie looks like
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think they are not telling us yet?
DeleteI think it is to add suspense to the book so you will keep reading to find out what he looks like.
DeleteHi Jalen, I want to know what Aggie's face looks like too.
ReplyDeleteok mrs. kirby... so i think he just means that he wants a normal face....
ReplyDeleteI think you are right.
Deletemrs.kirby that bok seems really good id like it if u whould read it more and also i think that auggie just wants to be like a normal kid that whouldnt get stared at and make friends easily. i also bet he whould proably want his face to look like anormal face!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehope u enjoy my comment :)

ReplyDeletereally good book and really funny part about the very farty nurse.I feel kinda bad that he has a face disorder.I know how he feels with not having a lot of freinds.
Is it more important to have a lot of friends or just a few REALLY GOOD friends?
DeleteThis book looks interesting, I'm looking forward to hearing it.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are looking forward to it!
DeleteI wonder if they will tell us at the end of the book what his face looks like.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to wait and see! :)
DeleteI really love this book! I look forward to ready it all day. The chapters give the cliff hanging effect that I think is really cool.
ReplyDeletei bet they are not telling us because they want to build suspense.
ReplyDeleteI think maybe the author doesn't tell us what Auggie looks like yet because she wants us to "get to know" him before we "see" him. Just like everyone else, maybe we would judge Auggie before we really gave him a chance. What do you think?
DeleteMaybe. Mrs. Kirby has a good idea too.
DeleteI really wish that Auggie told us what he looks like. It's driving me nuts! The farting nurse part really cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about what I posted on Claire's comment about why the author hasn't told us what Auggie looks like yet?
DeleteI think the farting nurse part was hilarious!
I feel really bad also that he has a face disorder and I hope that he realizes that he is perfect the way he is.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. In fact I hope all kids realize they are perfect the way they are. What a great comment, Annaliese!

ReplyDeleteplease read more Mrs.kirby
I promise I will!
DeleteI meant im looking forward to READING it all day not ready it
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to it too! (I knew what you meant.)
DeleteI' probally going to go to the libary and read ahead.
ReplyDeleteNO READING AHEAD! I WANT TO SURPRISE YOU!!!
DeleteNot fair!;0
DeleteMrs Kirby please read more than just one chapter!
ReplyDeleteI read 2 chapters today! It just depends what we have time for.
DeleteI'm really interested in this book! I wonder what his face looks like. I'm sure it's not too bad. I mean, he seams like a nice person, so he's at least pretty on the inside.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteThis book is really good so far. Poor Auggie though... i really would not want to freak out little kids at the park while i am just playing! Don't you?

I would be sad if people ran away from me screaming. That would be so hard to deal with.
DeleteYou're right
Deleteyeah. that would make me really sad.

Hi Mrs. Kirby. I really like this book so far. I think Augie wants his face to be just like everyone else's, because people wouldn't see him as wierd if his face were normal. He just wants good friends that will always be with him and apreciate him just the way he is. I think it is wrong of him to wish he looks like everyone else, because it's good to be different sometimes. He should see himself as special and unique, not wierd. everyone should respect Auggie just the way he is.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great lesson.
DeleteIf good smelling gases put people to sleep, then I guess bad smelling gases wake up doctors who are unconscious in the middle of delivering a baby!
ReplyDeleteFunny!
DeleteIt's funny imagining that farting nurse yelling "STAY CALM!!!"
ReplyDeleteIan Lai
That part was definitely funny!
Deleteit is really funny!!!!!!
DeleteHey mrs Kirby! I'd really like it if we could kind of rush in class so we could read more! Oh, and I wouldn't be scared of auggie. I'd be very nice to him and try to make everyone else be nice to him.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could read more too. It's such a good book! We will have to work harder and try to get done faster I guess.
DeleteYou are right even though he's different in person he's still the same as us inside
DeleteI know! Just because his face is different doesn't mean that he isn't a living breathing person!
DeleteHi! I can't wait for Auggies birthday!
ReplyDelete:)
Deletei love this book
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteMe three!!
DeleteThis book is great so far
ReplyDeleteI want to know what Aggie looks like!
ReplyDeletei want to know what Auggie looks like too! I mean, if i had a messed up face i would freak! I would not want to go out in a public place at all!
ReplyDeleteWow this book is really good so far!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I want to know what Auggie's face looks like. I feel bad for him.
DeleteI want to know what Aggie looks like and think he should go to school.
ReplyDeleteI think the people that are Auggie's friends are so nice because they did not think he was weird. And they were not afraid of him or anything. It is sad, though, that his best friend moved away. Isn't it?
ReplyDeleteManda<3
I think that I would be scared my whole life if i were him. I totally agree Amanda.I would probably ignore it though sometimes and just put it behind me.
ReplyDeleteI really want to know what Auggie looks like!
ReplyDeleteHe's probably not as ugly as he says.
DeleteHe probably feels bad about himself so he's exaggeration.
I hope that in the end it gets better or he gets surgery. I hope he had a great birthday.
ReplyDeleteI really like this book
ReplyDeleteI also want to know what Auggie looks like Grace
