You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover like when Dr. Hugely judged Melody and thought she was dumb. So did Mrs. Buillups. When they didn’t tell her the plane left they thought she was dumb and didn’t invite her to the team breakfast. It would have been hard to be friends with Melody. Would you have been friends with Melody? Would you have judged Melody like because she looked weird.
I would have been friends with her. I might say hi when she comes in or I might help her down the steps. I am completely truthful when I say this. It would be hard to be her friend but I wouldn’t do what they did to her. Making fun of her and leaving her and not telling her until after the competition. One time I was playing football with my best friend and two fifth graders (no offense to me and other fifth graders) and we had fair teams. The fifth grader who was on Aiden’s (Storm one of my friends in Albuquerque) team left because he didn’t want to be on Aiden’s. He didn’t want to be on Aiden’s team because he thought he was bad at football since Aiden had glasses. Now Aiden is the second best quarterback on his team and the best wide receiver from my opinion.
Auggie (August) was also judged and treated wrong because he didn’t look like them. That is how Melody and Auggie are alike, they both know they’re normal they just wanted to be treated normal. Auggie can do everything normal but no one will give him a chance to do what he can do. Unlike Auggie’s best friend Christopher, everyone has a Christopher someone who would do anything for you. No matter what you look like or what you do your friend will stay by your side.
Everyone gets judged at one point and all you have to do is hope someone will be a up stander. Like when Mrs. V stood up for Melody at the aquarium. She was being and up stander and stopped Claire from judging and calling Rose weird for doing something nice and hanging out with Melody. Even if Melody was a little weird.
Have you ever been judged?
Did someone stand up for you?
Would you have judged Melody?
