Kindness - When people are respectful, caring, helpful & including others...
Example 1 - Fight scene at the nature reserve...
- Amos and the other boys rescue Auggie and Jack from the bullies, at the end they high five Auggie - Shows kindness up onto this point the hadn't touched him or treated him with respect...
- The theme of kindness is important because through it Auggie makes friends, is more confident & happier...
Example 2 - Cafeteria scene - where Summer sits with Auggie...
- Shows the theme of kindness because Summer leaves the friends she has been sitting with who were being bystanders & went to sit with Auggie because he was alone...
- Summer helps Auggie build trust in friendship, if she hadn't shown kindness by sitting with him, he wouldn't have learned to make new friends and move on...
Example 1 - Scene where Auggie cuts off his padawan braid...
- Link to the importance of family because of shows that when Auggie is feeling sad/alone/depressed that he has a support network to build his resilience.
- Home is Auggies' safe & supportive place. He needs this relationship with his parents to help him build confidence to make new friends.
Example 2 -When Jack punches Jullien for calling Auggie a freak...
- Shows the importance of friendship because Jack wasn't willing to let Jullien bully Auggie anymore. Auggie is a real friend to jack, where Jullien is the type of friend that puts you down if you don't agree with him...
- It is important because it shows how real friends treat each other, they build trust and can forgive each other...
Doing the right thing, even if no one is watching or when no one else is doing it...
Example 1 - Jullien bullies Auggie...
- Jullien chooses to do things to be popular rather than doing the right thing, He calls Auggie names, Hides notes in his locker & tells Auggie he should kill himself. Jullien is the most popular boy in his class so when he chooses to be mean that becomes the thing to do...
- Jullien shows the importance of being right over being popular because through his actions he is removed from the school & loses his friends. Juxtaposed to this will. He decided he would rather be kind to Auggie and as a result keeps all his friends & isn't kicked out...
