Our writing task last week was to write a short essay explaining what point of view R.J Palacio used when writing “Wonder”. We also found quotes to back up what we thought. It was very fun but hard at the same time because there were only 3 books. So we had to write 3 paragraphs. Here is mine! I think R.J Palacio uses first person when she tells ‘Wonder’. There are 3 examples as to why I think this.
August is the main character in the book. August says:
“I know I am not an ordinary ten-year-old kid, I mean, sure, I do ordinary thing. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. I have an XBox. Stuff like that makes me ordinary”.
In the start he says:
“The only reason I’m not ordinary Is that no one else sees me that way”.
He also says “Since I’ve never been to a real school before, I am pretty much totally and completely petrified".
