Connor 2/9/15- In the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio Julian and Jack are in a "war" because Jack punched Julian in the mouth and Julian had a huge Christmas party and told everyone there that a war was going on between Julian and Jack. Julian told everyone to not to be friends with Jack Will. The people on Jacks side is Summer, August, and the two Maxes. The people on Julians side are the popular kids. If I was a student at Beecher Prep I would be on Jacks side because because August shouldn't be judged by his looks. Also, Julian's mom is probably a very rude and inconsiderate person because she photoshopped August out of the class picture because of his face and then she said that August has special needs because of his face. Julian needs to know that Jack and August and Summer are very kind people and they don't care about someones facial appearance because they will be kind to them anyways. I would rather be friends with kind people than very cruel people. That is why I am on Jacks side and that is why I would be friends with him too.

Connor 2/19/15- In the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio Jack and Auggie find some notes in their locker and they know they're from Julian's group in the war. The question was "Should Auggie tell Mr. Tushman?" In my opinion I think Auggie shouldn't tell Mr. Tushman because Julian's group is getting kind of bored over the whole "war" so if August tells then Mr. Tushman will call Julian and then Julian's group will know who ratted them out. So, after that Julian would become angry because August was a snitch. Julian probably send more notes because August snitched. Then, the same process would be repeated and Julian would become very angry so it would just be better if you didn't tell on Julian.

Connor 2-19-25 In the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio what I learned about family in this novel is that your family will always be there for you and with August he is very lucky to have such great parents that care for him and help him with obstacles that he faces in everyday life. Also, Auggie's parents try to do the best for him and the best for his future. August also has great friends like Miranda that are almost like family and care about August too. He has friends that will stand up for him like Jack and will help Auggie with mean kids that have rude remarks on his disabilities. August has been surrounded by good friends and family and that is what will help him throughout life because we need friends and a caring family to help us through life. it is very obvious that August's parents are always there for him and take care of him and do things that will have a great impact on his future. Some people are not as fortunate as Auggie. That is what I learned about family in the novel in August's part. I also learned that Miranda's likes Auggie's family more than her own. Her parents don't seem that they care about her and they kind of ignore her. Auggie is very lucky to have such marvelous parents and Miranda has some parents that don't really care about her.
