VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W / S]

Writing exercise

The main character August is a bright ten-year-old boy who was born with a terrible facial difference. In order to protect him from others staring, he has been home-schooled for his whole life and her mother taught him the knowledge. Soon, August would be in Grade Five and his parents decided to take him to a real school for studying. At first, he was very dreading, but he met Jack Will and Charlotte and they soon became best friends and experienced many challenges. After that, August was more confident and he was not self-abased, because he thought he and others do not have any differences. He made himself a wonder. I think this book is very interesting and different. The writer divided the book into eight part and each part is the view of different character from the books. You can read one thing from different characters’ opinion and understand this story better.
