Detailed explanation-1: -The book starts and ends in the first person point of view, told by the main character Auggie, a ten year old boy. Throughout the book, the point of view changes and is told through other perspectives (through the eyes of his sister and kids at the school).
Detailed explanation-2: -Activity Overview. Wonder is told from multiple points of view. First Auggie, then Via, then other characters. As students read, they’ll notice how each of the points of view are important to understanding both Auggie and the people around him.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Wonder, the changing points of view affect the plot by letting the reader get a glimpse of many people’s thoughts and moods as the plot progresses. The shift in the point of view really helps us look into many people’s opinions on different situations.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Wonder, R.J. Palacio tells the story of Auggie, a tough, sweet, 10-year-old boy, who was born with distorted facial features-a “craniofacial difference” caused by an anomaly in his DNA. Palacio tells NPR’s Michele Norris that the book was inspired by a real-life encounter with her own kids six years ago.
