There is much to say about this part of the novel. First off, the big fifth grade camping trip took place. It’s probably one of my favorite
scenes in the book. It’s when Jack and
the other boys finally stand up for August. It’s been a long time coming if you
ask me. I was waiting for the time when Jack would be put to the test again and
this time he came through! In the end,
August, Jack, and the other boys are okay and eventually get back to the rest
of the group.
This last part tied together how much August has really
grown as a person. He’s grown into an extraordinary young boy. “Greatness’ lies
not in being strong, but in the right using of strength… He is the greatest
whose strength carries up the most hearts…” (pg 304). August becomes the
receiver of the Henry Ward Beecher medal for his class. “But
hey, if they want to give me a medal for being me, that’s okay. I’ll take it. I
didn’t destroy a Death Star or anything like that, but I did just get through
the fifth grade. And that’s not easy, even if you’re not me,” (pg
306). August finally got his standing
ovation, he deserves it.
On a side note I'd just like to say this book really touch my heart! I caught myself tearing up a couple times throughout the book. I will definitely suggest it to others! I already have suggested it to a couple people and I hope they do read it! Very touching, and inspirational. I loved it.
