Have you ever experienced a time where you and your parents ever got in a fight? Well if you have, you know what it’s like. August doesn’t. August is the main character in Wonder. He has a deformed face. Here are three reasons that August’s parents are great for him.

August’s parents are great for him because they have all the things August needs. First ,they give him a lot of attention because he doesn’t get a lot of attention outside home because of his face. For example, people just stare at him and run away from him outside home. When he was bullied, they had to give him attention because if they hadn’t’ he would have never wanted to go outside his house again.

Secondly, his parents are also loyal to him. On page 291, August said “She tore the place up looking for that helmet, Dad!” That quote shows how loyal they are to August. His Mom looked and looked and looked but she couldn’t find the helmet.

Lastly, his parents are understanding. For instance, whenever he comes home from a bad day, they are always there to comfort him. They understand because being the parent of a different child gives them an understanding of how he feels. The author stated that when she started reading to him he started crying. His mom acted like she knew that was going to happen. She treated him just the way he should be treated and she knew she would do that because she was in different shoes than other parents.

In my opinion, August’s parents are great for him. These three reasons are why they are so great for him. He barely ever gets in a fight with them because they’re so nice. He would probably want to drop out of school if he didn’t have those parents.
