To me the “Precept”: Your deeds are your monuments means to me that the things people do is what they will be known by. To me it seems like an unfair statement because everyone makes mistakes sometimes and if you make one you don’t want to be known for that or have that mistake as your “Monument”.
 
In this section of Wonder August went to his first day of school. I think August was nervous because of the way he looked but, he ended up being fine. Julian was a bit mean to him in Homeroom. I think Julian was only mean because he is afraid of August. When he met Summer in the cafeteria and made that list with her he probably felt really good to have another friend at the school. That is what I thought about August's 1st day of School.
 
While I was reading the book I was wondering why Julian would be so mean to August. I think it is because Julian is just afraid of how August looks and is mean to him to hide his fear. Another theory I had was Julian is mean to August because he is one of those kids who is really nice in the presence of adults but really mean to kids who are not his friends. I thought this because Julian gives off a vibe of a mean kid. That is what I thought while I was reading I Wonder.
