Chapter 10 The Performance Space
导读：
本章节继续上一章节为小主人公August在几个初识的小同学的带领下继续参观新学校的情节。从这四个朋友的语言，细微动作和表情中，我们可以不难看出他们对小August的不同态度。 Charlotte 在新朋友面前继续在涛涛不停的讲诉自己的光荣表演经历。Julian 对于August的与众不同表现出无法掩饰的好奇心，但是他不太有好的问题让August感觉不舒服。Jack一直维护着August，并悄悄地告诉August在别人面前不要太软弱。 整个章节中Julian这个人物的语言是个亮点。我们可以在Julian的话语中想象出他的样子。词汇：
