Write a letter to Jack Will from Auggie’s point of view. Explain to Jack what you heard
and how it made you feel. Point of View
Dear Jack Will,
I haven’t spoken to you for a long time now and I know you’re confused why. As it is
obvious you have no clue. On the day at school when we had to dress up in Halloween
costumes, I came into the class room like I normally do and just happened to sit next to you
and Julian. Obviously you didn’t see me because I was dressed up. You know that Bleeding
Scream sitting next to you that was me. I heard every word you said. I know that I have
problems with my face and that’s why not many people like me. But if your just sitting next
to me because you had to. You should have just told me at the beginning that you didn’t
want to be my friend. And the reason why I am not at school. Is because of you, Julian and
those jerks. So if you think I am ok with all this no, I am hurt more than ever. I thought I had
a real friend. This is my big reasoning for not talking to you. So please don’t talk to me.
Ever, ever again.
Sincerely, August
