? The hero of this book is Augie. He is an ordinary but unusual boy. Because of his unusual face (congenital disability), he never went to school before he was ten years old. At the age of ten, his mother carefully selected a school for him to learn from me-Beecher Middle School. From then on, Auggie began an extremely difficult campus life.
? Looking through the catalogue of this book, I found that the title of each chapter is different, as if it were the name of a person? The following seems to list a small story in life? My daughter told me: "This book tells the campus life of Augie from the perspective of six people, and describes different Augies in their eyes." For a moment, I feel that this writing idea and article structure are quite ingenious, and it can also describe Auggie's life more truly.
Chapter 1 August
When fate came to my cradle, I raised a smile.

? On the first page of this chapter, a famous saying is selected, which conveys the positive energy of creating miracles to us. The boy Auguste (Augie) described that he was treated differently from birth because he was born with a congenital facial disability, severe deformation and ferocious appearance. When people see him, their expressions are full of fear, horror, surprise, anxiety and sadness ... Auggie has long been accustomed to people's performances, and his heart is full of strong desire to become an ordinary person. Because of disability, Augie suffered from surgery since childhood, and has had 27 operations since birth! Twenty-seven times, this is also unbearable pain for an adult! Whenever talking about his birth, his mother's eyes are full of love. The vivid and interesting story is more dramatic because of the existence of the fart doctor, which makes people laugh out loud.
For such a boy who is physically special but has been active and studious since childhood, his parents gave him more care and encouragement. Before he was ten years old, he lived a carefree life under the protection of his parents. Faced with the problem of "whether to let children go to school", parents have had several disputes, and this problem has become the biggest contradiction in the family. With the help of parents' caring efforts, at the age of ten, Augie finally had the opportunity to go to school and a correct attitude towards himself. Even so, Augie, who entered the school, always suffered from different eyes. It was like relentlessly uncovering the scars that were about to heal again and again, which more strongly impacted Augie's little self-confidence, but he became more firm and strong in the constant self-resolution of inner contradictions ...
? After reading this chapter, I have two biggest feelings:
? First, we give too little encouragement to our children in life, just because our children are normal people, and we always put forward higher requirements, ignoring more encouragement to our children in the process. Everyone wants to be affirmed by others, and children need encouragement, affirmation and appreciation. William James, the father of modern psychology, pointed out: "The greatest need of human beings is to be understood and appreciated. "When children even have a little progress, we can say" You are great, son ",so that children will not only experience the happiness encouraged by their parents, but also have an optimistic attitude.
? Second, we always want our children to live under our protection, with less setbacks and more success, but we don't know that our children will go to a wider world one day. We can't protect them forever, guide them to face difficulties correctly, and cultivate their ability to overcome difficulties is particularly important.
