What is the nickname August has been given? What is “the plague”? Explain.

August was considered to have a plague and it meant that if you touched him, you had 20 seconds to
wash your hands or you would get it. If you had it you were considered to have a sickness because of
everyone thinking his face was a sickness you would get. August got the nickname: “Zombie Kid” from
Julian and everyone in school started calling him that.

So far, you have read the story from three different viewpoints. Why do you think the novel is
called “Wonder”? Develop your own interpretation based on the story events.

I think the book is called that because no matter who you are, your looks, your religion, or anything
makes you someone amazing and a wonderful person. On this occasion, Auggie is being presented in
different perspectives of his surrounding people, and most of the people, despite his look, he is someone
loved and amazing, making Auggie such a wonder.

What problems can you see in the language used by Justin? What could this say about him?
Analyse and interpret.
 English 2021
I can see that Justin has an informal language and does not respect capital letters in the written text in the
book. This may explain that he might be someone that does not care about his problems and just living
the life he has as normal and nice as possible.
