Effect on the viewer-sympathetic,sad,sorry,lonely,depressed,miserable,downhearted,forlorn
Directors purpose- Emphasises the sadness of the moment and importance of auggies relationships with his family.
In the scene where auggie cries to his mother about being bullied, colour and lighting is used to create an atmosphere of sympathy. We see this though the use of warm and dull colours in the shot. these make the space feel safe and comfortable for auggie to express his emotions. This makes us understand how auggie is feeling,miserable,depressed and oppressed because he looks different from his peers he asks his "mum will it always matter which" is a felling most in the audience can relate too. This was done to show the theme, the importance of friendship and family,because Auggie learns resilience by talking issues through with his mum.Combined with this is the use of the close up shots to show the emotions and tears on Auggies face.This reminds the viewer of a moment later in the story where Auggies is upset because his sister via doesn't want him to go to her play. Just like this scene Auggie runs to is room upset and a member of his family comes to reassure him.

Kindness- Verbal/physical action that is nice,caring,using manners ,respect

Example 1- when jack sticks up for Auggie during the fight scene with Julian.
- shows kindness- sticking up for a friend
- not letting others talk badly about friends.
- jack has previously not been kind,talked about Auggie behind his back
  Example 2- when Amos and the others help jack and auggie fight the 7 graders

-Important because- helps people make friends
-builds a person self confidence
- makes people feel accepted/ include
-if there wasn't kindness Auggie wouldn't have made any friends grown his self confidence to be able to take off his helmet,feel include at beaker prep.

 Importance of friendship and family- trust,trust of others support systems, people you feel safe with,help build resilience

Example 1-When the Pullmans dog daisy dies.
- shows theme - brings family together to grieve
- Auggie and via put aside there argument to look after each other.
Example 2- The fight at the nature reserve where Amos and the other boys come together to rescue jack and Auggie from the 7 Graders

- Show theme-support because they stand up for each other -Trust- the boys came to help them ,they don't abandon each other
- resilience -the boys support each other to move forward, they are all friends now

Importance to the story- Good relationships with friends help Auggie build trust and feel safe.He takes the helmet off.
- Friendship with summer teaches him resilience,trust and forgiveness
- His family are always there to support him when things go wrong at school.
Straggle  between right and popular- being right means showing integrity-doing the right thing when no one is watching.
- being popular means agreeing with/ acting in away others want you to even when you don't agree.

Example 1 -When jack chose to stay with Auggie as his science partner instead of Julian.
shows theme-jack chose right over popular. Julian wanted to leave out and jack chose not to.
-in the past jack had picked friendship with Julian over Auggie.
Example 2-  When Summer decides to sit with Auggie instead of the popular girls who were talking behind Auggies back.
Shows themes- Summer chose right- not to sit and talk nasty with her friends but to go and sit with Auggie who was alone
- Auggie doesn't trust her at first because of jack and summer stays anyway and helps Auggie- link to importance's of friendships
Important to the story- The concept is relatable everyone has to experience this so it helps the viewer to engage with the story.-makes kindness/relationships move obvious when we've seen the person struggle.
