Comparing Wonder By R. J Palacio And Fly Away Home

Have you ever gone to school where people stare at you all the time? Or kids run away from you screaming in the playground?Well, in the books, Wonder by R.J Palacio and Fly away home by Eve Bunting, August Pullman also known as Auggie from “Wonder”, and Andrew from “Fly Away Home” Who lives in a airport, are both similar and different in many ways, because of how hopeful they are, brave, and of how different they look.

His eyes may be where his cheeks are supposed to be. He may not look normal. One the other hand, Andrew is very different. He is “normal” He doesn't make other kids run away screaming, or he doesn't get started at wherever he goes. He is just a “Normal” kid. For those reasons that is why they both look very
