When people are respecting, caring, helpful & include others.
Example 1 - Fight scene at the nature reserve.
- Amos & the boys rescue Auggie & Jack from the bullies. At the end they high five Auggie .
- Shows kindness because because up until this point the others hadn't touched him or treated him with respect.
- Theme of kindness is important because through it Auggie makes friends, is more confident and happier.
Cafeteria scene -
- Shows 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 rebuild Auggies trust in friendships. if she hadn't shown kindness by sitting with him, he wouldn't have learnt to make new friends and move on.
Importance of family & friendship -
Through these relationships our characters build trust, resilience and self confidence.
Example 1 -
- Scene where Auggie cuts off his padawan braid.
- Link to importance of family because 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 1 -
When Jack punches Jullien for calling Auggie a freak.
- Shows 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 the type of friend that puts you down if you don't agree with him.
- Is important because it shows how real friends treat each other, they build trust and can forgive each other.
Being right vs being popular -
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 then 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 hiss class so when he chooses to be mean that becomes the thing to do.
- Jullien shows 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.
