Why does august uses a simile to compare himself and summer to beauty and the beast?

Wonder is a novel by R. J. Palacio, which focuses on August Pullman, a boy with a facial deformity. The story is told from his perspective, as he enrols in a  new school.

The simile is used when August's mother comments on how pretty Summer, August's classmate, is. He uses the simile to contrast how beautiful she is with how ugly he is in his mind due to his deformity. She is the beauty and he is the beast.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

August uses a simile to compare himself and summer to Beauty and the Beast for the following reason.

He does so because he is ugly and the girl is beautiful. Indeed, August likes when Halloween comes because he can use a mark to cover his face.

Raquel Jaramillo wrote the novel "Wonder" in 2012, under the pseudonym of R.J. Palacio. She was inspired by a personal situation in which his son saw a girl with a deformity in her face, and her son started to cry. And then, she heard the song "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant and decided to write the novel.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
