‘Wonder’ essay. First person.
Over the last week or two my class, Rimu have being reading the book ‘Wonder’ by R.J Palacio. Last week we wrote a short essay about it. I have used 3 examples from the book and from my own opinion. Here is my short essay, I hope you like it, enjoy and comment!
‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when they see him. This is R.J Palacio’s first novel and it is written in the first person.
At the start of the book ‘Wonder’, August is talking about him. I think that is first person because the book has “I” instead of him or he. For example, August says,
“I know I’m not an ordinary ten year-old-kid.”
August also in the first chapter of the book,
“My name is August, by the way. I won’t describe what I look like. What you are thinking is probably worse.”
Also in Chapter 2 It says
“Next week I start fifth grade. Since I’ve never been to real school before, I am pretty much totally and completely petrified.”
“Next week I start fifth grade. Since I’ve never been to real school before, I am pretty much totally and completely petrified.”
Therefore, ‘Wonder’ is written in the first person.
