I WONDER why we have to do a NOVEL STUDY Part 5

Questions for pgs 158-204

1. Discuss the motivations for Julian's mum to photoshop Auggie out of the class photo and the message that's sent to Julian. 

She photoshopped him out because she wanted people to ask about Julian not the kid with the face deformities when they see the picture at their house.

2.What do you make of Mrs. Albans' statement that Auggie is handicapped? Do you think that she was correct when she said that it was too much of a burden on the kids to befriend August? 

I don't believe that he is handicapped. He can work just as well, maybe better, then the kids in his class. I also don't believe that it is too much of a burden for the kids in his class to befriends him because of his face. He can't change that. 

3.Mrs. Alban also thought that Auggie shouldn't have been allowed into Beecher Prep. Do you agree/disagree? Why? 

He passed the test that was needed for him to get into the school so he is allowed to go. He's smarter than other students in Science and he was homeschooled so that's pretty good. 

4. How did Jack handle being frozen out by all the boys in Beecher Prep?     

He didn't handle it very well. He said that he felt alone and that everyone was staring and judging him. He wanted to find new friends but all the boys-except Auggie- were ignoring him. 

  5.Why was Justin nervous when he was going to meet Olivia's parents?How did it show? How did it work out?

He was nervous that his tics would start because that's what happens when he gets nervous. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on them.  

6. Why does Justin greet the different members of the family in different ways? Explain each greeting. 

He greets the family in different was because he has different reactions to them. When he sees August, he's astonished but wants to make sure that no one picks up on it. When Justin meets Olivia's parents, he is nervous because he doesn't want his tics to show.  

7.In the bus stop, Justin told Julian and his friends to leave Jack alone. Was this a good thing to do? 

No, because even though Justin thought he was helping he made it worse. Julian started picking on Jack more because he didn't confront them himself. 

8. In the chapter titled Bird, Via states shes an 'awful person'. Why do you think she feels this way. Is she correct? 

She thinks this because she didn't tell Justin about her and Miranda's relationship. And then when he asked him about it she got upset because she didn't tell him.

9. In what ways is Part 5 different from the other parts of the book?

It's in Justin's POV and since he isn't apart of their family or hasn't known the family for a long time has a different view on Auggie's condition. And his pat is in all lower case with no capitals apart from in names.
