I think that this movie deeply relates and connects to our 7th grade theme of human dignity. Firstly, in this movie, there were many events where August was being bullied by his classmates and/or students in the school.

But, if she never demonstrated these gifts, she would be stuck with her fake friends who didn't even care about her. I think that this action represents human dignity very well because she was very kind to August and treated him like a normal person instead of a kid with a facial deformity. Another gift that relates to my movie is
