Storyboard Description
Symbolism in Wonder Book
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- SHOES
- Auggie mentions shoes a number of times. This shows that he spends a lot of time looking down, not making eye contact. This is probably because he is self-conscious and doesn't want to see the reactions people will have to his face.
- Slide: 2
- THE PADAWAN BRAID
- Oh no, Auggie! Your braid!
- Auggie cutting his braid off symbolizes personal growth and a clear transition from one part of his life (homeschooling) to another (real school).
- Slide: 3
- MASKS
- HappyHalloween!
- Auggie frequently wore an astronaut helmet in the past, and also wears a Scream mask on Halloween. Masks symbolize Auggie's desire to hide from others. He feels freakish and thinks people don't like him because of his appearance.
