This requires that the writer take a firm position, <em>defending his points</em>.  He doesn't present the other side, but, because he believes he is suggesting ideas that will make things better, he invites participation and advises that if the ideas are not embraced, things might not get better.

Yuri [45]
<span>During the time spent disclosing to her story, Rowlandson uncovers much about Puritan culture and states of mind towards ladies and Native Americans; comparably, she gives data about Native American culture, however regularly without acknowledging or even obviously understanding it.

They may have inspired the author to make August's character strong enough to face the challenges of a new school with the loving support of his family.

Explanation:

The children's novel <em>Wonder </em>by Raquel Jaramillo tells the story of a physically deformed boy August "Auggie" Pullman. The whole plot revolves around his deformity and how he began to accept what he really is, despite the deformity. The story also delves into his relationship with his best friend Jack and his sister Olivia's frustration in having to sacrifice her needs to her brother's needs.

In Natalie Merchant's song <em>Wonder</em>, she sings about a girl who will make her way <em>"with love, with patience, and with faith"</em>. These very words may have inspired the author to make the young boy Auggie's character strong enough to be able to overcome the challenges that he will face in the new school. Added to that, the support of his loving family members, even his own sister Olivia will also help him face the challenges.
