Thoughts 27-50

Is it difficult for August to eat in front of others? 
Does the way he eats have an effect on what August thinks about himself?

  1. I know it's hard for August to eat in front of others, as he thinks he eats like a turtle. It definitely has the effect of lowering his self-esteem.
    The way he looks doesn't matter.

  3. August probably feels awkward when he tries to eats. Due to his surgeries, he has a hole on the roof of his mouth, so he eats in the front of his mouth. He describes his eating ass "the way a tortoise eats." Plus, I don't think anybody wants people watching them while they chew. This does lower August's self esteem.

  4. Yes because of his surgeries he can only chew in the front of his mouth which looks odd. This makes him think that he looks like a tortoise which is defiantly has a bad effect.

  5. August must feel weird and awkward when he eats, because when he chews he chews in the front. This causes messy eating. He says that he eats like a tortoise and that lowers August's self esteem.

    1. Socially this must be difficult because it is not accepted by peers to eat this way. What do you think?

  8. I think it is hard for August to eat in front of everyone, for I myself would be extremely embarrassed if I ate like that. This would effect on himself because it would make him feel embarrassed and it would make him feel like he is so like different...

  9. It must have been awkward for August to eat in front of others because he was new and he was an unusual person and he had never been to school before, it must have been very difficult because of his mouth he feels like a tortoise in a bad way

  11. August feels self conscious about how he eats, even know he had his cleft removed twice but, im glad he found a new friend named summer. He also thinks he eats like a turtle.

  13. I think it would be kind of embarrassing to eat like him, and he thinks about himself differently, because he says he eats like a tortoise.
