 Why do you think Mrs Bartholomew tells Tom who she really is at the end of the book?
 I think because if Mrs. Bartholomew don’t tell tom who she really is, Tom would keep thinking about where his good friend went for the rest of his life, so the Mrs. Bartholomew didn’t want to hide from him anymore and told him the truth.

 How would the story be different if it were written from Tom’s perspective?
 I believe the story will be more excited and fun if it’s written by tom’s perspective cause you can imagen lot’s of things, you know, when the story is not written by a characters perspective, it will be very boring, I love the book “wonder” because it’s written by different character’s perspective, you can imagen lot’s of detail by carefully read each part of the story, the one reason I don’t like “tom’s midnight garden” is that it’s not written by a characters persuasive. Ok, so, I deeply believe that it will be more perfect if the book is written from Tom’s perspective, that’s the big different, you know, if the book is written from Tom’s perspective, the book will be better.

 What different types of masks are there in Wonder and how are they important?
 Masks sometimes is important, sometimes not, it depends on who it is.
 But I think the mask is very important to August. The mask is like an invisible wall, which makes other children think August is a normal little boy. Let other children not bully him, laugh at him, discriminate against him and cast a vicious look at him……

 Julian, unlike the other characters, does not finally learn a lesson about kindness. Why did Palacio choose not to have him change?
 First, I think because if Julian learn a lesson at last, it will be very unbelievable, at the beginning of the story, Julian wanted to kill august directly, how can he don’t want to kill august even though august proved with his own strength that you can’t judge people by what their looking like.
 Last, it will be very boring if Julian learn a lesson, if palacio choose to gave him a change, I will feel that the ending is childish, I will probably throw this book out of the window or draw a ugly, silly picture on the book and put it into he trash can, just joking, the real thing I probably going to do is never ever read this book again, that’s it.

 What would be lost and gained if the story had an omniscient narrator?
 The lost of omniscient narrator is that the book’s perfect part of reading “wonders” is you can imagen what the character is thinking, for examples, I think Julian is a bad character, no one will arguing with me because I have right to think that way, but if a omniscient narrator tell me ever single thing, My imaginary wings will be broken。
 The gained part is that sometimes I just can’t imagen what the character was thinking, for examples, when jack will was saying if the god turn’s him to august, he will killed him self, I just can’t understand why he says that mean word, but if a omniscient narrator tells me jack just want to make friend with the cool kid because he’s family is poor.

 What are the strengths and weaknesses of having the story written from the perspective of a horse?
 The strengths of having the story written from the perspective of a horse is that you know more about what the horse is thinking about, for examples, if the story is written the other characters perspective, they won’t tell you what is the horse thinking about and you, the reader, don’t exactly what the main character was thinking about and get boring.
 The weaknesses of having the story written from the perspective of a horse is that you don’t know what does other character was thinking about, that was a big problem, too, because when the reader, us, just knowing what is the main character was thinking, then, we will got boring, too.

 How does knowing the context of War Horse influence the way you read and appreciate the book?
 Knowing the context is important because if you don’t know the context, you will not know what the story is about, you will fell boring and don’t want to read the book anymore(just like me), I don’t know what WAR HOURSE is about, so when I finish reading a few chapter, I got bad felling to this book, To put it bluntly, every time my mother forces me to read this book, I feel like I’m wasting my time, but when I was reading HOLES, I very enjoy this book, because I know the context, that is the power of context.
 
 ps:i fell sorry that i forgot to submit my homework last week, this is my home work last week.
 
 What do you think the title holes mean?
 I think the title holes mean Stanley and his friends zero was digging holes, they was digging holes to build character at first, they were digging holes to survive at next, and they were digging holes to find the treasure at last, the second meaning of the title is the main idea of this book is about holes, it tells the reader that the story of this book is about holes, but if the author choose to change the book title to “Stanley ”or change it to “Stanley and his no good-dirty-pig-stealing-great great grandfather” instead of the title “holes”, it seem to be very untrue, and You can’t let a man who hasn’t read the book know who Stanley and his great great grandfather is.

 I think chance is more important than choice in the holes because chance is like a present that the god gave you, chance is like two roads, leading to two different fates, for examples, my great mom gave me a healthy body and a good memory, If I choose not to study every day and indulge in the game world, I will become a social trash. If I choose to study hard every day, I will become a social elite，but, if my mom choose not to having a baby(me), I will not born in this world, and if I am not born in this world, I will lose my chance, if I lose my chance, I will lose my choice. I will gave you another examples, Stanley Yelnats, the main character in “HOLES”, he found a gold tube that write KB on it in chapter 13, he was lucky, it was a gift from the god, it was his chance, but instead of gave the tube to the warden and get a day off, he choose to gave the tube to x-rays and made friendship with him, that is Stanley’s choice, You can understand that chance is the mother of choice, because if Stanley didn’t got a chance(find the gold tube), he will not get a choice(gave it to x-rays or not).
