Two novels that have both similarities and differences are Wonder and Because of Mr. Terupt have a lot of similarities and differences.
The novel Because of Mr. Terupt written by Rob Buyea tells the story of seven kids and their year with their 5th grade teacher, in the book Mr.Terupt suffers a terrible accident.
The novel Wonder by R.J Palacio is centered around August Pullman who is 10 year-old boy who was born with facial deformities. Ever since he has was little he has been homeschooled, but know he has has to go 5th grade. The book shows how Auggie manuevers his way around school and how he makes friends.

Even though both book have multiple point of view they both accomplish different goal. The author used multiple points of view in order to get the reader’s predicting.

In Because of Mr.Terupt the friendships that Alexia made with Danielle,Anna and Jessica made her more confident about herself. In Wonder the friendships that Auggie made with Jack Will and Summer made him realize that it’s ok to be himself and people will eventually accept you. All the friendship made in both book made each character stronger, this could be the theme that friendship make people
