Read the extract then identify the conflict that Auggie faces and how does he come over it? But I'm kind of used to how I look by now. I know how to pretend I don't see the faces
people make. We've all gotten pretty good at that sort of thing: me, Mom and Dad, Via.
Actually, I take that back: Via's not so good at it. She can get really annoyed when
people do something rude. Like, for instance, one time in the playground some older
kids made some noises. I don't even know what the noises were exactly because I
didn't hear them myself, but Via heard and she just started yelling at the kids. That's the
way she is. I'm not that way.

Now long and short works of fiction have different characteristics beyond simply the length of the work. think of a short story that you like and a longer work (novel or novella) that you like. you can use the story and novella from this unit if no other works come to mind quickly. discuss the elements of each work that made it enjoyable to read. what relationship did the form of the work (short story, novella, or novel) have in making it an enjoyable read? what elements of fiction were strongest in the work, and how did they impact your enjoyment of the story? compare the two works you chose. how are they representative of short fiction versus longer forms of fiction?
