The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honor heroes after they’ve died. They’re like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honor the pharaohs. Only instead of being made of stone, they’re made out of the memories people have of you.

-- R.J. Palacio

Wonder Novel by R. J. Palacio

About a book :

A child is born with deformities as a result of a rare disease. He undergoes plastic surgery from a young age, and at the age of ten his parents decide to persuade him to go to school, and the story begins from there.

My opinion :

It's a great book to describe the feelings of a person being bullied about being different. I really hope every child reads this book so they can learn to be kind....even if they are children they are still aware of what they are saying

My review of the book:

9/10

I wished they had a chapter from the mother's point of view

From the phrases of the book:

If everyone in this room made it a rule that wherever you are, whenever you are, you will try to be a little more kind than you should be, the world would truly be a better place. And if you do that, if you act a little more kindly than you should, then one day someone else somewhere else might see in you the face of God in each one of you.

Got together five of my protagonist OCs from each of my series to do this because I found it actually very addictive. Be warned: I might do another. Anyway, you can find the OC stuff below:

JOAQUIN COBALT (THE UNTITLEDVERSE)

Name: Joaquin Cobalt

Universe: Various (Jurassic World, IT, Stranger Things, Gravity Falls, & more...)

Favorite book (and why): "Wonder" - R. J. Palacio. Wonder is honestly a book that helped Joaquin during his transition (and after a very distressing encounter with the Chairman), allowing him to be put into the shoes of another who goes through similar microaggressions based on his existence alone, and the hope he feels that... he isn't a mistake like the Chairman had insisted he was. That he is a wonder for simply existing against the odds (and reality according to the Chairman). It was also a gift from Maisie, and it was a stepping stone that gave him the confidence to let down his walls and share his personal feelings and fears with her (and eventually, he is able to open up to many others).

Favorite song: "World's Smallest Violin" - AJR.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: Leather jacket. Tough and helps keeps him warm.

Favorite "little treat": Lemon Cake or Lamingtons.

Favorite person in their lives: Maisie Lockwood; Mario Emmet & Calvin Dearing; Lisa Cobalt.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): A regular two-story house somewhere near the woods.

Dream life: A regular one where he lives with his best friends and doesn't have to worry about the world ending.

SILVA OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES)

Name: Sylvester Silva Omar (Note: Sylvester was the name Adam gave her, meanwhile "Silva" was what Paul and everyone nicknamed her... after the deaths of Persephone and Paul, she rejected her "Sylvester" identity in favor of the stronger "Silva" one).

Universe: Far Cry 5 & Far Cry New Dawn.

Favorite book (and why): "Frankenstein" - Mary Shelley. She can't help but compare herself to the monster, as both are outsiders to society and (to what she had been pushed to believe) is a failure to their fathers and the ideals they worshiped (Dr. Frankestein and his science, Adam Omar and his God). Silva also enjoyed the likes of "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte and "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Silva is a big fan of gothic and romance novels (a bonus if it's both), sometimes with a little bit of mystery and a pinch of depression.

Favorite song: "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" - Kate Bush.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: Turtleneck sweater. However since she can't always wear that, the trench coat when she's out and about.

Favorite "little treat": Cranberry Pie.

Favorite person in their lives: Previously it was Elsa, Irene, Persephone and Paul. Now it's Azriel, Faith, Mercy, Sharky, the Ryes, Joey, Pratt and Ezekiel. Kamski's on thin ice.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): Her residence in the Whitetail Mountains near the Henbane River. It's home.

Dream life: To simply live a normal, productive life (whether that be helping out the community of Fall's End or protecting Hope County as a deputy). No cults, no violence, just peace with a little adventure exploring America and possibly traveling with her family. She wants to watch her kids grow up, she wants to be with the love of her life until they're old.

HAOYU ANABUKI (LIFE, DESPAIR & MONSTERS)

Name: Haoyu Anabuki

Universe: Various (Doki Doki Literature Club, Love Death + Robots, Poppy Playtime, & more...)

Favorite book (and why): Haoyu doesn't like reading. The closest thing they've fully and completely enjoyed reading is the "Southern Reach" trilogy and they can't even begin to explain WHY they liked it so much. Honestly a surprise Haoyu was able to successfully bullshit their way into the Literature Club.

Favorite song: "Are You Bored Yet?" - Wallows.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: Belt.

Favorite "little treat": Cookies-and-Cream Ice Cream.

Favorite person in their lives: Monika and Icarus. Everyone else sucks despite the fact Haoyu goes to save them anyway.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): Caravan.

Dream life: A caravan roadtrip lifestyle. Drifting from place-to-place, doing gigs and odd jobs, using their abilities for any reason that doesn't include leaving one universe. As long as their boyfriend and sister is with them, Haoyu is happy. A life of adventure on the road doesn't sound so bad on paper.

ORTEGA "ORE" BRANTLEY (A RADIOACTIVE CALAMITY OF LOVE, BOMBS & GORE)

Name: Ortega "Ore" Brantley

Universe: Fallout (1997), Fallout 2, Fallout 3 & Fallout New Vegas.

Favorite book (and why): "Things Fall Apart" - Chinua Achebe, a surviving copy oddly enough. Also "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. These books gave him an insightful look in how change and societies can occur due to circumstances often within but also out of the control of others; much like the post-apocalypse he lives in, plus allowing him to understand the politics of the old world in a way. It also helped him develop his own sense of masculinity, educated mind and humanity, differing from his father, Arcane Urias.

Favorite song: "Big Iron" - Marty Robbins.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: He'll always be appreciative of the ranger face/mask-helmet that Elrand (the Vault Dweller) and the Brotherhood had implemented into his face after it had been mutilated by Urias.

Favorite "little treat": Ore doesn't need to eat (a benefit(?) of being Urias' son I suppose). He can just consume the radiation from the sun and surrounding waste. However, he does like to treat himself to Ruby's Radscorpion casserole though.

Favorite person in their lives: Marissa "Ress" Bishop; Ryder (the Courier Six); Elrand Brandt; Finidy Mona (the Chosen One); & Marcus.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): A farm in Goodsprings probably; he likes the place, and he can fix up the school to actually become a education center for the children.

Dream life: After he kills his father, Ore plans to settle down in a place like Goodsprings probably, and put his vast amount of knowledge that he's gathered over the years into good use as a teacher when he fixes up the school for the children while Ryder continues her couriering. He expects Ress to drift in and out of his life, probably going on adventure after adventure as expected of his lively and restless sister. Maybe reach out to some old companions like Marcus, Goris and Lenny, or even visit newer ones in the Capital Wasteland and the Mojave. However, he'd never reach this dream... not when he chases after Aggravor into the Divide for a forlorn hope that Ryder was alive...

MARISSA "RESS" BISHOP (A RADIOACTIVE CALAMITY OF LOVE, BOMBS & GORE)

Name: Marissa "Ress" Bishop

Universe: Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas & Fallout 4.

Favorite book (and why): She doesn't have a favorite book. Closest thing is Piper Wright's newspapers, simply because they're funny and wacky and she likes Piper.

Favorite song: "The Wanderer" - Dion DiMucci.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: Her sunglasses.

Favorite "little treat": Fancy Lads Snack Cakes.

Favorite person in their lives: Her Bishop Crime Family; Ortega "Ore" Brantley; Alph Dolen & Amata Almodovar + Butch DeLoria; The King, FONV companions + Red Lucy and Sarah Weintraub; Piper and Nat Wright, Nate Gust Sarid & the FO4 companions.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): After the adventure she went on to kill her dad for her dead bro, she honestly wouldn't mind moving in with Piper in her apartment(?).

Dream life: After taking a break from killing her Urias, Ress would go back onto adventures out in the Wasteland of America, but would always return to the Commonwealth back to Piper and Nat.

🏛️ La historia de la construcción del Palacio Municipal de Adolfo Alsina en Carhué comenzó en los años treinta del siglo pasado, durante la gestión de Juan Marcalain como Intendente. 💰 Las negociaciones no fueron fáciles, y ante la falta de apoyo de la oposición, Marcalain debió recurrir a decretos para obtener fondos para el proyecto. Originalmente, incluía la construcción del Palacio y matadero en Carhué, y delegaciones en Rivera y San Miguel Arcángel, entre otras. 📅Sin embargo, los costos superaron el presupuesto y Salamone sugirió reducir dimensiones y gastos. Y así fue que la torre del Palacio Municipal perdió diez metros y otro tanto sucedió con las dimensiones de todo el edificio. Recortó parte del mobiliario y también debió cancelar las obras en las otras localidades del Partido. Finalmente, el Concejo Deliberante aprobó el proyecto en 1938, y las obras se completaron en octubre, inaugurándose en diciembre de ese año con la presencia de Manuel Fresco y compañía.

Have you read the 2018 graphic novel "dungeon critters" by natalie riess?

I have not, honestly I don't read very many books and only just now started doing it- which atm I'm reading "Tender is the flesh" (don't read it) The last book I finished was Wonder by R. J. Palacio back in middle school.

Dungeon Critters looks cute, like something my sibling would read, but I'm the roleplayer and he isn't. I haven't actually played DnD, I've done things like CoC, Star Wars, and Dark Heresy.
