200-500 words. DUE FRIDAY
The astronaut helmet
·In the chapter ‘Costumes’ Auggie describes the astronaut helmet that he wore constantly as a younger child. We later learn that Miranda was the one to give Auggie the helmet, and is proud of the gift, but that it was Auggie’s father who threw it away. What do you think the helmet signifies to each of these characters and why do you think they all view it so differently?
So.. Think about:
Miranda: The helmet signifies (stands for) ________
August: The helmet signifies ________
Father: The helmet signifies ________
***When you are thinking of the word signify and how to use it, think about certain clothes kids wear. A child may view the way they dress as making a certain type of statement. Yet, for their parents, the statement might be totally different. The astronaut helmet meant something different to each one of these characters. Go for it. Do good work this week!
