August is a boy with a fatal disease. Every time he goes outside, people move to the other sidewalk, look down, or whisper to someone next to him/her. He has gotten used to it and acts like he doesn’t notice and care, but deep down, it hurts him. August, from the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio is a fortunate kid. He is fortunate because he survived a deadly disease, he has an caring and understanding sister, and he has two real friends, Summer and Charlotte.
August is lucky because he survived a deadly disease. On page 7, paragraph 1, it says “the nurse whispered in her ear when the doctors told her (his mom) I wouldn’t survive. ¨He has been through lots of surgery because of his disease. On page 104, it says, ¨he has some of these mutant genes occur pregnancy sometimes their inherited from one parent carrying the dominant genes.¨ August´s surgeries has affected his education. He hasn't been able to go to school. The surgeries have gotten less when August has started school, but if that didn't happen, they wouldn't have been deadly in the “surgery” way but that could affect him as he got older.
August Pullman has a caring and understanding sister. When she was going through hard times, she would be there for him. On page 112, it says, ¨´Tell me what happened,´ my sister said. And I told her what happened. I had overheard some very mean things some boys were saying about me. I didn't care about what the other boys said, I expected that , but I was hurt that one of the boys was my ¨best friend¨, Jack Will.” August's sister has also been going through hard times (she's in high school) but she always makes the time for August. She’d be the first person he would tell about what goes on at school. When they walked outside and people stared and looked away, she said “What the heck are you looking at?¨ even to grown-ups.
Lastly August is lucky because he has a real friend. Summer is a friend to August because she is there more than he needs her. Summer is always by his side and she is always nice to August. An example of how Summer is nice to August is on page 51, paragraph 1 where it says ¨’Hey, is this seat taken?’ I looked up, and a girl I've never seen before was standing across from my table with a tray of full of food.” And on paragraph 6, it says ¨My name is Summer, by the way. What´s yours?¨ That indicates that Summer wanted to sit with August and wanted to make friends.
Although August had some people who hurt him, he also had some people who helped him. Even though I don't have a fatal disease like August, he still taught me that when people put you down, you get up and keep on trying and you don't let those people take you down.
Me, I don’t think that the age should be changed. This is because people of today are becoming less and less mature. Voting is a big deal. And many people don’t take it as serious as they should. It’s something that should be taking as pride. When people vote not just their vote matters. The vote of the people should be for the people. Moving the age to 16 is saying the we should move the age of drinking to 16. Voting is bigger and more life changing event then drinking. The age to drink is 21. Your brian should be at a right age to understand what you are actually going to do. If anything I think that the age should be moved to 21. Im a 14 year old American girl that is proud of her county and the place that I call home. I want it to stay that way. So if I have to wait a couple extra years to vote then so be it. At least I know that my county, family, friends, and even neighbors are safe. I understand that many people don’t agree. There wanting to be able to go on there social media and post pictures of them voting. That isn’t what we need. I get where people are coming from there is a lot of 16 years olds having kids and living on there own. But there is a lot more that aren’t then are.
you cannot solve a problem that makes no since because the meaning of irresolvable means impossible to solve or settle so it would mean going in circles without ever finding the answer to something that makes no since nore able to ever be solved
