What different types of masks are there in Wonder and how are they important?
The masks are important because they can cover peoples faces which makes that no one knows who is who under the masks so this way every one will think August is a normal kid and won’t bully August, this way August then won’t feel as bad, and so everyone will play with him.

What would be lost and gained if the story had an omniscient narrator?
First, the gained of story having a omniscient narrator is that the reader can know all the characters mind, and will not need to guess some of the character’s feelings, this will make reading the story easier and so more people can enjoy the book, even if they are not so good at English
The lost is that when you know all the characters feelings and don’t need to guess anything, you might start to feel boring about the book and wouldn’t like it.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of having the story written from the perspective of a horse?
first, The strengths is that the title is called ” War Horse” Joey the war horse is the main character so it is sticked to the title of the book.
second, writing from the perspective of the horse will make the story special and more interesting to read, because when the author writes from the horses point of view, they also will write the horses feeling what he feels about been a war horse and also how they they react from there feeling, for example: when Joey was sold to the British army, he got a very mean rider and he hates him, so his react was to try to threw him down on the ground but he just can’t threw him down on the ground, because he always grip his knee on Joey very hard.
third, other story might been written from albert’s point of view or british trooper’s point of view, and their is not so many stories will use a horse’s point of view, and it will have a huge different with normal stories.
The weaknesses is that when the author writes the book from the horses point of view, we won,t know other people’s feelings and the only way of knowing is to use our imagination and imagine there feeling with the hint of there action.for example: when albert found out that his dad sold Joey to the British army, I can tell that albert was very worry about about Joey because he made Captain Nicholls made a promise that he will take good care to joey as good as possible. but the book didn’t tell how albert feel in the situation.

How does knowing the context of War Horse influence the way you read and appreciate the book?
first, I think knowing the context will help you know what is really happening at the time, and also you can read and understand the character’s feelings in the book which helps you to read the book.
second, when you under stands the book and what is really happening in the story, you will find the story more interesting, and you won’t feel boring about the book, so you will take time and keep reading it till the end. but when you don’t understand the context of War Horse, the only thing you know is that the British and Germany were fighting in World War I and a farm horse called Joey was sold to the British army and he was captured by Germany and came back from Germany and went back home with Albert to the farm. and it seems a very boring story, but when you know the context of the story, you get the feelings of the characters like when the troopers runs runs forward where machine guns fires at them, they might be very scared.

I agree that chance is more important in holes because if there was a chance to find a way to some kind of pond or lake that is better than the water under the ground, or find a way back in the city maybe they won’t need to came back to camp green lake. If there where a chance that the warden didn’t found them when they came back to camp green lake. for example: One time, I forgot to do my Chinese homework, but the next day my Chinese teacher surprisingly didn’t found out that I didn’t finish my home work so I got a chance to rewrite it without being given twice as much homework.
I agree because in the story, I got a choice because of a chance.
