Perseverance In Wonder And War Horse

Perseverance can enable you to overcome tough circumstances in life. This can be seen in both books, War Horse by Michael Morpurgo, and Wonder by R.J. Palacio. In War Horse, there is a horse named Joey. He has lost people he has cared about, and tries to find his way back home. In Wonder, Auggie has a facial deformity, and has a hard time in middle school. The theme perseverance is included in both the stories, War Horse and Wonder, but in different ways.
In the same way Wonder and War Horse are alike. A similarity is, both Joey and Auggie have companions throughout the book. For example, in War Horse, Joey has Albert and Topthorn to help him. In Wonder, Auggie has Jack, Summer and his sister, Via. It is hard for Auggie to fit in at his school.
Thankfully, Summer, Jack, and Via are there to assist him. Another reason why these books are similar is, they both lost people or animals that they loved. Joey lost his friend Topthorn. Joey was really sad because Topthorn has been nice to him since the first day they met. Auggie lost his dog, Daisy. This was devastating for Auggie, because Daisy used to snuggle with August when he was upset, along with cheering him up in general. Another comparison the two books share, is perseverance. For instance, in War Horse, Joey held on tight and survived through tetanus, dissimilar to generally horses who have had the infection. Likewise, the book Wonder shows perseverance. Auggie had to go to school day in and day out even though almost no one talks to him. This was especially hard for him because he has a facial deformity. It was really hard for Auggie to make friends. Nobody wanted to be his friend, because they are scared that they might get the “plague.” The “plague” is if you accidentally bump into Auggie, you have a fake disease. This is very mean of the kids because it isn’t nice to treat people differently because of how they look. For that reason, Wonder and War Horse have similarity.
Although War Horse and Wonder have a lot in common, they likewise have a considerable measure not in like manner. For example, War Horse is a book told from a horse’s point of view. Wonder is told from a kid’s perspective who has a facial disfigurement. Another reason why they contrast is, they both show perseverance in dissimilar ways. An example of this is, in War Horse, Joey has to persevere by having to moving on and leave his friends throughout the story. On the other hand, Wonder, Auggie has to persevere by not letting pushing through the difficulties he faces in school. On that manner, War Horse and Wonder are different in many ways.
