They make fun of him because he’s very different than other people. It doesn’t bother him because he thinks they’re laughing with him not at him. For example when he thought his hat was the other kids hat. The kid said it was his hat and he believed him. He only felt bad one time in the book. That’s when he didn’t want to go to school because of field day. The rest of the book he was always happy.

I think it doesn’t bother him because he doesn’t really think they’re trying to be mean ,so he lets them be mean. Maybe a few times in his life his feelings got hurt like before field day when other kids were talking about him ,so he did not want to go to school.

I think that Donald does not know what it means to be made fun of. I don’t think that it bothers him because he doesn’t understand what it means. If you have read this book ponder why Donald doesn’t understand what being made fun of means.

     I think other people bother Donald because he is different from them. I think he is different because he does not fight or talk back in a bad way when someone calls him names or hurts him.
     I do not think that this bothers him because he is always thinking positive about people and does not takes anything personally. For example, when a kid from his class takes off his giraffe hat, Donald did not yell or cry. Instead he thought it was the kid’s hat and said, “I am sorry, I probably took it by mistake.” Since he did not cry or yell the kid gets annoyed and gives the hat back.

      I think other children bother Donald because he is different from all the other kids. He is different because he is always thinking about others and never fights back when someone calls him names or hurts him.
      I do not think that this bothers Donald because he would never take anything personally. For example, when a kid from Donald’s school takes Donald’s giraffe hat and says that it is his, Donald does not cry or yell he just thinks that maybe it is his and lets him have it. (The older kid soon gets annoyed that Donald is not crying so he gives the hat back)

            Donald always is happy, despite the fact that everyone is making fun of him and talking behind his back. Donald is not very good at sports so people make fun of him because of that. Donald is kind of open minded because when the older kid at recess took his giraffe hat and told Donald that it was his Donald said “ ok he must have left his hat somewhere and I must have taken it by accident.” Donald is also very caring because he stayed out in the cold looking for Claudia and he got very sick.

Donald seems happy, but I don’t think he is because when he had field day
at his school he was so slow that he lost every game. When field day was
over his classmates were saying bad things about him and calling Donald
a loser! So he skipped school some days and new people thought
 of him as a loser.

I don’t think it bothers Donald because he never really seems to notice that other people are making fun of him. Even if he knew that a bully was being mean to him he would be nice to the guy who is picking on him. For instance in the story he gave his favorite hat to a bully because he thought it was his but the bully just stepped on it.
