Part 3/9:
As Auggie navigates his feelings of inadequacy and isolation, he is mostly sheltered at home, homeschooled by his loving mother, Isabelle, while yearning for social interaction. A significant moment arises when Isabelle insists on sending him to Beacher Preparatory Middle School. In a clash of perspectives, Auggie's father, Nate, fears for his son's wellbeing in a world that often shuns those who are different, likening the school environment to a "slaughterhouse."
