Isabelle is writing about a passage from the book Wonder by R. J. Palacio.“Go inside if you want,” Julian said. It was the first time he looked at me.I shrugged and walked over to the door. Julian moved out of the way quickly, like he was afraid I might accidentally touch him as I passed by him.

I
I was very sick one winter with flu. I had to stay inside all month long, and no one could come to visit me. I was so lonely and felt so sad, because I wished my friends would come over, so I know how August might have felt when everyone stayed away from him.
O
Once my brother fell off his bike and really scraped his leg badly. It looked so bad, I did not want to touch it at all. I stayed far away from my brother that week, so I understand why Julian might have been afraid to get too close to August.
J
Julian was very cruel to August. Just because August looks different does not mean he does not have feelings. Julian should have ignored all the differences and tried harder to be nice to August. He could have given him a hug or high five.
A
August must have felt very sad to always be different. It is not his fault that he looks different, and his feelings were probably hurt when Julian jumped away from touching him.

Stacie is writing about Wonder by R. J. Palacio.I started to follow her, but Julian cut right in front of me, which actually made me stumble backward."Oops, sorry about that!" said Julian.But I could tell from the way he looked at me that he wasn't really sorry at all.

O
Once, after I hurt my brother’s feelings, my parents told me to apologize. I was not really sorry at the time, but I had to apologize anyway. I know how August feels.
P
Pushing people is a really mean thing to do. Julian was especially mean to push August, because August already has many physical challenges. I feel very sad for August.
M
My older sister sometimes bothers me at home. She usually says she is sorry, but I know that she does not really mean it. I understand how frustrated August might feel.
I
If I were a principal at the school, I would make a rule that no one could cut in line or shove people. This would help people like August, so he would not be pushed around.
