The story begins in the weeks leading up to the school's graduation ceremony. Auggie Pullman, a fifth grader with a facial difference, has made significant strides in his new school. With the support of his family, friends like Jack Will, and his devoted mother and father, he has overcome numerous challenges. As graduation approaches, Auggie feels a mixture of excitement and anxiety—especially regarding how he will be perceived on this special day.
**Rising Action:**
As graduation nears, the students and teachers prepare for the ceremony. Auggie receives an unexpected invitation to be the student speaker, and he reluctantly accepts, despite his fears of public speaking. Throughout the preparation, he reconnects with his friends, including Jack and Summer, who have stood by him through difficult times. In the weeks leading up to graduation, Auggie observes his fellow classmates, who are learning to embrace the values of kindness and acceptance that he embodies.
The day before graduation, Auggie overhears some students discussing how they admire his courage and the impact he has had on their school community, inspiring a new anti-bullying initiative. This realization boosts his confidence, but doubts still linger as they approach the day of the ceremony.
**Climax:**
On graduation day, the gym is filled with students, parents, and faculty. As the graduates are called up to receive their diplomas, Auggie nervously approaches the podium to give his speech. Initially hesitant, he begins to share his journey—explaining how it was hard for him to fit in, how important kindness has been to him, and how everyone can choose to be kind, even in small ways. Mid-speech, the crowd becomes fully engaged, supportive of his message. Auggie’s sincerity and authenticity resonate deeply with everyone present.
In a heartwarming twist, the principal announces that Auggie will be awarded the prestigious Henry Ward Beecher Medal, recognizing not only his courage in facing adversity but also his ability to inspire kindness in others. The auditorium erupts in applause, the moment significant as it represents the community's acceptance of Auggie.

In a final scene, Auggie, Jack, and Summer walk out of the school hand in hand, chatting and laughing, embodying the spirit of acceptance and camaraderie.
In a poignant closing moment, Auggie’s voiceover reflects on the journey they’ve all taken, emphasizing the importance of kindness: “When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.” The camera pans out, showing the group walking forward together, symbolizing a brighter, unified future filled with love and acceptance.
