He marcado varias frases, de estas que no has oído nunca y no sabes por qué ya que tienen muchísima razón. Lo que me ha convencido definitivamente de este libro ha sido la maestría de R.J. Palacio para situarse en un futuro inmediato de la novela original, planteándonos el cierre de tramas que habían quedado semi-abiertas de una manera diferente. Overall, this collection was exactly what I was looking for: beautiful and inspiring quotes to start your day on the right tone. Nevertheless, I must mention that other than the ‘kindness’ theme of the book, it has nothing to add to the Wonder series, or any of its characters. I loved Wonder #1, #1.6 (Pluto), #1.7 (Shingaling) and specially #1.5 (Julian). It's a lovely book, but you could erase any reference to Wonder, rename it 365 inspirational quotes, and nobody would probably notice. And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
Wonderis a beautifully told story about heartache, love, and the value of human life. One comes away from it wanting to be a better person.” - Patricia Reilly Giff, two-time Newbery honor-winning author of Lily’s Crossingand Pictures of Hollis Woods This collection features multiple quotes that really resonated with me, while others I had to read multiple times to get the message across.This book is a collection of precepts that Mr. Browne has gathered over the years along with some essays in which he touches upon the themes presented within. For instance: kindness, strength of character, overcoming adversity, or simply doing good in the world. I personally don't buy this notion that all kids go through a 'mean phase.' In fact, I think it's a lot of malarkey! Not to mention a little insulting to kids. When I talk to parents who tell me, as a way of justifying something unkind their child has done, 'What can I do? Kids will be kids,' It's all I can do not to bop them on their heads with a friendship bracelet." It all started from the very beginning of the book, I already knew that I would love this one as for the ideas of how it was written. Indeed, this is an undoubtedly unique and powerful collection of percepts and sayings of different authors chosen by fifth grade students (some of which are even written by the children themselves!) which gives me a wide perspective of both the young and the old's thoughts of life. I agree, sometimes it's good to start over. A fresh start gives us the chance to reflect on the past, weigh the things we've done, and apply what we've learned from those things to the way we move forward. If we don't examine the past, we don't learn from it."
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love." Además, las partes en las que el profesor hablaba sobre experiencias o sentimientos (entre cada más hay fragmentos más largo novelizados), me convencieron totalmente. Es un libro que se tarda más en leer de lo que parece, porque pide que sea hagan pausas para comprender mejor los significados de algunas cosas. This is such an inspiring, uplifting and though-provoking collection of beautiful precepts and quotes that puts a smile on my face. You can easily identify with these sayings, ranging from quotes from the ancient times to quotes made and submitted by children. Most of them focus on kindness and its meaning in our life, especially in a time when there is so much division and hatred among human beings across many aspects and communication platforms. The others are about love, courage, finding the silver lining in the darkest situation, hopes and dreams, being yourself and putting all of your efforts into achieving what you set out to do. So very magnificent and much needed. Don't choose the one who is beautiful to the world. But rather, choose the one who makes your world beautiful."Just goes to show, everyone really does have a story to tell. And most people, at least in my experience, are a little more noble than they think they are." The best quotes don’t speak to one particular truth, but rather to universal truths that resonate—across time, culture, gender, generation, and situation—in our own hearts and minds.” Full of heart, full of truth, Wonderis a book about seeing the beauty that’s all around us. I dare you not to fall in love with Auggie Pullman.“ Wonderis a shining jewel of a storythatcannot help but encouragereadersof all ages to do better, to be better,in how they treat others in life.I’m totally in love with this novel.” - Trudy Ludwig, anti-bullying advocate and author of My Secret Bully, Confessions of a Former Bully, Better Than You, and Just Kidding I love quotes with a fiery passions, which is why I somehow always end up looking at the quotes on my Goodreads. I’m a quote collector.
It’s in the bigger themes that Palacio’s writing shines. This book is a glorious exploration of the nature of friendship, tenacity, fear, and most importantly, kindness.” P)laying nice is something that doesn't end when you start middle school. It's something you need to remember every day as you walk through the school hallways on your way to becoming adults."
About us
What makes R.J. Palacio’s debut novel so remarkable, and so lovely, is the uncommon generosity with which she tells Auggie’s story…The result is a beautiful, funny and sometimes sob-making story of quiet transformation.” A big collection of inspiring words that will appeal to the legions of fans awaiting more wonder in their lives.” You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can be grateful because thorn bushes have roses." I'm embarrassed to admit that, unlike my dear friend and teaching partner Debby, I didn't immediately recognize the transformative power of Wonder. I had to read it aloud to kids, and hear their reactions, before I began to get it. But really, it wasn't until my second year of reading it aloud (3rd reading) that I had my own 'aha' moment. With each rereading, Wonder filters deeper down into my soul.
Great Deal
