Wonder Work | Pages 205-248

1. August doesn't like events that include parents because he will have to face people whose eyes are not used to his face, or don't know what is wrong with him. 

2. The change that is occurring is that people are being kind and being social with August. 6 months ago his classmates were scared to touch him or talk to him. 

3. August felt sad and embarrassed about getting hearing aids because he didn't want to stick out even more than he does. If he got hearing aids, people would notice them a lot more. I don't think his argument was justified because it is much more beneficial and important to get hearing aids rather than not. Better health and hearing senses is more essential than self-asteem. 

4. Via kept her part in the play a secret because she didn't want the school to find out about her deformed brother. She was afraid people would think of her differently. Via's mm said the play wasn't something August would be interested in because he would get bored. Plus, August doesn't like social events or being around parents.

5. It means that everyone across the world should be recognised for at least one of their talents and skills once. August might believe it because he wants to be recognised for his academic excellence in science and be seen as normal and superior, as he hasn't gotten that opportunity yet.

6. Daisy's death had a negative effect on the characters but got something positive out of the experience. The whole family was sad and crying about the death but it was the thing that brought them together again and made all the fights forgotten about. 

7. Miranda claimed sickness because she might have been effected by nerves or felt pressured by the fact August was there. He was a painful reminder of all of her struggles with him, Via, and camp. 

8. My perception on Miranda changed because she has been through many bad things in her life that she hasn't really mentioned in the story or told anyone. Camp was more than just a style change, she ended up telling a web of lies and being sucked in with the popular girls for it. At first I felt Miranda was a mean person that changed and didn't want to hang out with Via anymore, but then my opinion changed when I found out she had gone through bad things and she just didn't know how to deal with her feelings about Via, August, her family, and camp.
