I have read this book and also seen the movie so I completely understand what you are trying to say and I agree, Hazel is a very cautious person and she does not want anyone to feel sorry for her in any way. I agree with the three characteristics you identified her as because throughout the whole movie and book she identifies herself as scared, cautious and courageous.
Thank You …Cindy Reynosa

Dear Emmanuel,
I was interested in your post because Wonder by R.J. Palacio is one of my favorite books. I agree with you about how this book was enjoyable. I think its how all the different feelings you feel throughout the whole book that makes it enjoyable and wants to keep on reading it.
One thing you said that stands out for me is: “You just don’t want your brand-new fancy high school friends to know your brother’s a freak!’.” I think this is sad, to be honest, because well it’s just sad that Auggie thinks of that.
Also, that sentence that you included in your post, reminds me of something that happened to my sibling (my sister). Sometimes when like something that doesn’t “go her way” she uses the “it’s because I’m deaf” card on us all the time. We know it’s a joke as she doesn’t really mean by her using her disability in a bad way. She loves it, we love it, it’s amazing in its own way!
But besides that, thanks for your post. I look forward to seeing what you write next! -
I really enjoyed reading your piece as much as I did reading the book. This has got to be on my top 3 books I have ready while in school. What I felt was unique about it was how they took almost a mediocre message and took it to the moon. You should never judge someone based on what they look like cause we as humans can only control what we look like so much. Every human is human no matter what they are we all are the same, we are one.

I enjoyed reading your article because I have read the book and have seen the movie. I also agree that it was touching and sad at times throughout the book. One sentence that stood out for me was, “The tension rises on Halloween when Auggie is wearing the scream mask and he overhears Jack talking to a lot of popular kids saying that he would kill himself if he had to look like Auggie.” I think that once Auggie heard that from his friend Jack he felt betrayed because he was feeling like he had at least someone to hang out with. I also think that sentence can imply to everyone because when you find out your ‘friend’ has been talking about you behind your back it can feel like you have been lied to and can maybe develop trust issues. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to see what you write next.

Dear Emmanuel,
I too have read the book Lord of the Flies. I agree that Ralph lacked some serious leadership skills. It showed how he couldn’t bring everyone together to work. He was often demeaning to other characters such as Piggy. The line you wrote, “Jack’s response here deepens a reader’s sense of Ralph’s terrible leadership skills, and sparks a feeling of hatred and for a new change in who’s in order/ charge.” It shows how he actually ended much dividing the group. I also agreed with the traits of demanding, bossy, and stubborn that you described him as. -
Dear Emmanuel, I enjoyed reading your analysis of Ralph’s character development. Yes indeed his leadership skills were not the best fit but as the young teens and children did not have any supervision they turned to Ralph because he carried himself and had the physique of a leader. Although his choices were sometimes not reasonable the children followed even Jack could not demolish Ralph’s leadership when he decided to make his own tribe.

Hi Emmanuel, I really enjoyed reading this, as a Harry Potter fan myself. I love how you were able to recognize Harry’s character and how he is forced to change as he is put in dangerous situations. I really like how you picked your quotes and how you explained them. As I read them, I was able to imagine the scenes from the movie when Sirius and Lupin find Peter and take him from Ron. I enjoyed this, and I hope to read what you have to write next.
Sincerely, Diana.
