Wonder Deep Comprehension Quiz

Read the self-contained story guide first. Then answer each question using details from the guide and your own inferences. The guide summarises key events and ideas from R.J. Palacio’s Wonder; it is not an extract from the novel.

Story guide: August’s first year at school

August Pullman, known as Auggie, has been taught at home by his mother. Because he has a facial difference and has had many medical operations, his parents worry that starting at Beecher Prep will expose him to unkind reactions. Auggie decides to attend anyway. At school, he meets students including Jack Will, Summer and Julian. Some classmates avoid him or say hurtful things; Summer chooses to sit with him, and Jack becomes his friend.\n\nJack later says something unkind about Auggie when he thinks Auggie cannot hear. Auggie is hurt and keeps his distance. Jack realises what he has done, feels sorry and tries to repair their friendship. Meanwhile, Auggie’s older sister, Via, loves him but sometimes feels that her own needs are overlooked because the family has spent so much time caring for him. She takes a step towards her own life by joining a school play.\n\nDuring a school trip, older students from another school threaten Auggie. His classmates stand by him, and the group’s experience strengthens their sense of loyalty. By the end of the year, Auggie is recognised at the graduation ceremony for his courage and kindness. The story is told through several characters’ viewpoints, showing that people can have struggles others do not see. One of the ideas explored is that choosing kindness can matter more than trying to impress others or win approval.
