Reactions to August's Appearance

When August is in public, people's reactions to his facial differences are extreme and hurtful. He describes feeling like the North Pole, with people acting like compass needles always pointing at him.

Example: Kids often run away screaming or even start crying when they see August.

At school, August faces cruel treatment:

  • He is called names like "freak"
  • Other students act disgusted if they accidentally touch him
  • People treat him like he has "the plague"

Vocabulary: Plague - A highly infectious, usually fatal disease that spreads quickly.

At school events, August feels particularly self-conscious as parents and students stare at him. The constant attention and negative reactions take a toll on August's self-esteem and sense of belonging.

Responding to People with Disabilities

The narrator reflects on how to appropriately interact with people who have disabilities or visible differences. They suggest:

  1. It's natural to look briefly, but avoid prolonged staring
  2. If the person notices you looking, offer a friendly smile
  3. Don't make a big deal out of their appearance or disability
  4. Treat them normally, as they already face many challenges

Highlight: The goal is to make the person feel more comfortable and accepted, not to draw additional attention to their differences.

The narrator emphasizes that people with disabilities don't need additional scrutiny or awkwardness from others. A simple smile and normal treatment can go a long way in making them feel more accepted and happier in social situations.

The Performance Space

Charlotte, Julian and Jack are giving August a tour of the school. Charlotte talks enthusiastically about the school play, explaining that August could help with lighting or backdrops even if he's not acting.

Julian makes rude comments, implying August isn't smart enough for the challenging science elective. Charlotte defends August, saying he was homeschooled and will do fine. Jack tries to move them along to the library.

Highlight: Jack whispers to August that Julian is a jerk, showing early signs of friendship.

August feels good about Jack's supportive attitude. As they leave, August stumbles into Julian but doesn't feel sorry about it.

Quote: "August notices that Julian makes rude comments about his appearance, asking why his hair is so long and what happened to his face."

This scene establishes the initial dynamics between August and his classmates, foreshadowing future conflicts and alliances.
