This year we read the book and read the movie of Wonder by R.J. Palacio. In my opinion the book was better, but the movie was outstanding too. I thought the book was better because the movie left out a lot of stuff, like the hearing aids and the puppy, Bear. But there were many similarities too. For example, in both , Via changes when Miranda changes too. But in the book auggie has hearing aids, and in the movie he doesn’t. These are a few examples of the similarities and differences.
In both, Auggie gets in a fight with some 7th graders, which does happen in the movie. But in the book he gets his hearing aids taken by Eddie, a 7th grader. He does not have hearing aids in the movie. In the movie he is called ghostface, not
Bleeding scream, the original name of the costume.
So in all, i thought the book was better than the movie. I loved the movie, it is only that they left out quite a bit. That is my opinion.
