Theme
Understanding of others
Many people all over the world treat people with much respect and then there are those who are bullies ... which treat people like their completely different but everyone's special in their own way.
Discrimination
"No man, it's an alien!" said the other kids.
"No, no, no man it's and orc!" Laughed Eddie, pointing that flashlight in my face again"(Palacio).
This quote represents how people should not judge someone just because they look or act differently, everyone should be treated equally.
The author believes people should not judge someone just because people look differently, everyone should be treated the same as others.
Trash Talk
At the Halloween day August was a post to be going as Boba Fett yet, he waked in a as a screen costume and since Jack did not realize that it as August, and he insanely rude and making fun of him to be cool in front of his friends. "Basically, he heard Jack bad-mouthing him and saying really horrible things behind his back. It kind of explained his attitude and why he'd been out "sick"(Palacio 266).
This shows that people should not talk behind anyone's back, it's rude and everyone knows the saying "if you don't have something nice to say don't say it at all.
Not so bad?!
At this point in the story, Summer has made a table where only the peoples names that have seasons or months can sit there so she has included august even though other despise him because of the way he looks. "Who knew that sitting with August Pullman at lunch would be such a big deal? People acted like it was the strangest thing in the world. It's weird how weird kids kids can be"(Palacio 119).
Don't judge people just because they look or act complete different than other they should look for your personality.
