More questions i have to do about Wonder 81-117

• HOW WAS THE POINT OF VIEW DIFFERENT IN PART ONE THAN PART TWO?
  WHEN THE BOOK GOT UP TO PART TWO THE STORY WAS TOLD BY OLIVIA,
  AUGUST’S OLDER SISTER.
  
  
  

  In a paragraph, describe the challenges Via must face being Auggies sister?

  I think Via will face lots of challenges being Auggie’s sister because
  she is always trying to protect him and keep him out of harm.
  Olivia also wants to be someone other than ‘ the cripples sister’.

  She feels embarrassed when she invites her family to places.
  Olivia loves August very much and doesn’t want to see him hurt.

  
  
  

  Via says ‘ August is the sun’ explain what she means.

  She says that august is the sun because it feels like everything revolves around him,

  the spotlight is never on her.

  
  

  Via thinks that her parents are wrong when it comes to making August feel normal,

  why do you think this is?

  I think she feels that making him feel normal is a bad idea because nobody else thinks of him as

  normal and she doesn’t want him to get his hopes up. Do you agree?

  No but I understand her argument.

  
  
  

  Via goes by Olivia at high school, why do you think this is?

  I think she doesn’t go by Via because that’s

  what Auggie calls her and she wants to be her own self, not just Auggie’s sister.

  
  
  

  How is Olivia going at high school? At highschool nobody knows about August,

  she has a boyfriend and some other friends so it is going well.

  
  
  

  What are the odds of Olivia having a baby which looks like August?.

  If she marries someone with the gene there is a %50 chance of the child having the gene and

  being fine, %25 chance of the child not having the gene at all and

  %25 chance of the child looking like Auggie. Do you think these are good odds?

   They are not the greatest.

  
  
  

  Explore the character Miranda, what did she say to August in the end of part two?

  Miranda was Via’s best friend and she said that she misses Via.

  
  
  

  Describe Via as a character. Via is August’s big sister and is a very empathetic person,
  she has her own problems but worries and cares about Auggie heaps.
  She loves her family but wants a life of her own. Do you empathise with her? Yes, I do.

  
  
  

  What do you think will happen to august when he returns to school?

  Nobody knows that it was him in the bleeding scream mask,

  he will continue to be friends with Summer.

• It means a girl that he likes can only see his heart
• Jack thought it would be a good idea to show August around the school because he was new

person coming to the school so he did it.

• Jack probably feels bad because he was good friends with August but he ruined it by saying rude

things behind his back

• Jack was provoked to punch Julian in the face because Julian was saying bad things about August

because of his face and it was also a kinda bad thing to do because he hit someone else but it was also

good because he was saying bad things about August

Sarcastically: In a ironic way intended to mock others

Tics: Spasmodic contraction of the muscles
