You've got to love yourself first. You've got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody  else.

 The only way you can accomplish(a person accomplishing somthing) in life is to love yourself when you have love  you can do anything.some important ideas are overcoming differences  and making memories(memories). throughout the story( a person reading) we hear about August life and his greatest adventure yet school(a school) friendships rivalries( friends and enemies) and heart breaks(broken heart) this story is truly amazing even through the death(a grave) of the one thing that augast thinks overlooks his face and love him.  But the truth is people love him he just needs to find out.  I think(a person thinking) throughout the story August starts school this year. and throughout the year kids start to change there opinion about August and he also thinks about himself different I think that the important idea is you have to learn to love yourself(a heart).(6



In the beginning he starts out saying " I am not a ordinary ten year old boy yes I do ordinary things like i eat ice cream i ride my bike I play catch and play my Xbox"(a kid riding a bike). This shows that in the beginning what he thinks of himself he refers to himself as not an ordinary boy he literally knows this because ordinary kids do not make ordinary kids run away( kids running).  This supports my claim because he has to learn to love himself this is at the begging where he hates his deformity(a kid with a deformity) and hates himself for having it. When I first read this i immediately knew there was something wrong with his body. and one more clue to that he does not love himself. (5)



Earlier in the story on page 43 he tries so hard to not get noticed and even raise his head up from his desk( a shy kid) just so kids in his mind he thinks how can I love myself if other kids hate me call me the freak.  But the truth is for anyone to have others even like you you have to like yourself.  He does not know it but other kids do like him Christopher and summer like August and his family loves him(a  family).  He does not see it that way and so until August truly knows they love him he will never be able to love himself.  This was starting to happen but then a  huge set back  jack will said in front of august that he did not like august in fact said "if i looked like that I would kill myself "(MEAN KIDS)this made august not just not love himself but at this point he hates himself. (5)



On page 165 to 167 August and jack are most likely texting and became friends over jack punching Julian(a kid puching a kid) . Jack did not mean what he said he did not realize(relizing) that when he said it ,but he realized after.  This skyrockets(a rocket) August feelings and at this point he lies himself but Julian had turn the whole 6 grade boys against him so they all hated him(more mean kids).  For a normal kid I would think it was terrible but to August having one true friend is amazing.  The part that I really think August learned to love  himself was the nature(animals) retreat as he was getting bullied Amos miles and Henry came out and helped him they had everybody forget about the war(a war.)  And the day August went to school without anyone snickering at him he realized that people loved him. an example of this is at the end his mom says “you really are wonder Auggie you are wonder” this shows they loved him and he loved them back finally August learned to love himself(heart). (6)

can not look at him. (5)



My conclusion is when I think of myself in real life I could never overcome(a wall) what agust did. It is amazing what aguast can overcome with the power of one persons love people can do anything. Aguast overcame his differences  toke insults(a picture of insults) from bullies a whole grade hating him. He went through all of this just to find out something he already knew .he realizes he is loved and he thinks of himself as wonder. (5)(a boy wondering)
