5. How do we know that Julian s behavior is affecting Auggie? What does Auggie do in response to Auggie s bullying? Auggie tries to ignore Julian. We know that Julian s behavior is affecting Auggie because Auggie gets visibly upset over his bullying and makes a drastic change to his physical appearance in direct response to a mean comment by Julian. Julian questions Auggie s hair length during the summer tour of Beecher Prep, and Julian brings up his braid in front of the class on the first day of school. That night at home, Auggie chops off the braid that took years to grow without even informing his parents. After Auggie overhears Julian comparing Darth Sidious s melted face to his facial difference, Auggie starts sweating, feels like his face is on fire, feels like he has been kicked in the gut, and hides in the bathroom to cry. In response to two separate incidents involving Julian, Auggie expresses a desire to disappear.
