Why does Justin greet the different members of the family in four different ways? in part 5
This is one of the shorter sections, but Justin's segments are extremely important because they give us our first substantial look at Auggie's family from the outside. Summer and Jack only briefly interacted with the rest of Auggie's family, but Justin spends a lot of time getting to know the Pullmans and their family dynamic. Through Justin's point of view, readers get to see how this loving, supportive family appears to onlookers; the Pullmans' close-knit relationship becomes even more significant when Justin reflects on the lack of love and connection in his own family.
Justin greets the different members of the family in four different ways because each family member holds a special place in his heart, and he wants to show his affection and respect for each of them in a unique manner. By greeting them individually, he acknowledges their individuality and the significance of their relationship to him. This demonstrates Justin's thoughtfulness and consideration for each family member's feelings and importance in his life.
