The Quotes from "Auggie & Me (Three Wonder Stories)"


Book Tittle [Augie & Me : Three Wonder Stories]
Author [R.J. Palacio]
Publisher [Alfred A. Knopf, New York]

This book is kind of the serie of the first book "Wonder". In this serie Palacio tells us the stories of Auggie Pullman (as the main character) from three different character's prespective. The first chapter is about Julian as Auggie's friend that difficultly accepts Auggie at the Beecher Prep middle school. The second chapter is about Chirstopher as Auggie's oldest friend that studies in different school. And the last chapter tells us about Charlotte as Auggie's welcome buddy at school.

This book could tell us the age of middle school kids. How do they socialize, interact, their stage, activities, teenange problems,  friendshipness, encourage to do kindness, and so on. I think this book is recommended to parents and teachers even the teenanger who have or teach and role as a middle school kid.

In this article I focused on the quotes that written in the book. Even just in a sentece, a quote can make us feel better. Please check and share these quotes.

  1. Our mistakes don't difine us. [Introduction - XV]
  2. If you don't know what to do, just be kind. [Mr. Tushman - 13]

  6. Life is ahead of us. If we spend too much time looking backward, we can't see where we are going. [Starting Over - 92]
  7. Rules are rules. [9:14 a.m. - 121]
  8. And when good friends need us, we do what we can to help them, right? We can't just be friends when it's convenient. Good friendships are worth a little extra effort. [Space - 126]
  9. When something scary like this happens, it acts like a wake-up call, you know? It makes us reassess what's important in life. Our family. Our friends. The people we love. [10:52 p.m. - 169]

[11:59 p.m. - 175] I really loved this paragraph, after reading it I felt a good vibe about kindness. To me "kindness is contigious" when we got someone's doing good to us, it wil make us to do good also to others. And the next sentece after that paragraph made it clearer. Sometimes frienships are hard. [11:59 p.m. - 175]
  12. People seem to think that Broadway stars just come out of nowhere - but that's not true! They practice until their feet hurt! They rehearse like maniac! If you want to be a star, you have to be willing to work harder than everyone else to achieve your goals and dreams! The way I see it, a dream is like a drawing in your head that comes to life. You have to imagine it first. Then you have to work extremely hard to make it come true. [How (and Why) I Love to Dance - 199]
