In the specified time stamp of "Wonder," Auggie Pullman reflects on his helmet and the reasons he stopped wearing it. Initially, Auggie used the helmet as a form of protection, not just physically but also emotionally—it served as a barrier between him and the world, allowing him to hide his face from judgment. However, as he grows more confident and begins to navigate social interactions, he realizes that wearing the helmet is holding him back from truly engaging with others and expressing his identity.
His decision to stop wearing the helmet signifies a significant moment in his character development. It illustrates his acceptance of himself and a renewed sense of bravery in facing the challenges posed by his appearance. This shift shows that Auggie is ready to embrace his differences and is motivated to connect with others on a deeper level, instead of shielding himself from potential hurt. The change highlights his growth from a boy who felt the need to hide to one who finds strength in his uniqueness and builds relationships without barriers.
