1/26/2015 What were you feeling at the end of the tour? The Grand Tour was a chapter to reveal the character's feelings and their personality. My feelings were a little mixed up in this chapter for August. He had to meet these random kids which is really frightening especially with the face he had. I think I feel that Julian was mean to August for no reason. I also feel that Jack Will was that chill dude and Charlotte was luminous and energetic. In all Charlotte and Jack Will were nice to August and Julian was being a jerk.

2/01/16 How do you feel about Auggie's September at his new school? I feel kinda band for Auggie because he is new to school which is tough from him and plus 10x worse because of his face. He always sees random kids just freaking out at the sight of Auggie. I also feel really like he is being brave by going to school, a world he has never seen before. I also think that this is good for him because he can make new friends and can learn new things.

What should Auggie do about school? Explain. What could help him decide to return? I think Auggie should go back to school and ignore Jack Will from now on and make new friends if possible. What could make him come back though is that if Jack Will says truthfully like he didn't really mean what he had said and from the bottom of his heart he would explain to Auggie I am still your friend like a good friend would do if Jack was a nice person or friend.

2/04/16- List at least 3 strong questions you have about Via, Auggie's sister, that you hope to find out in the next part. The first question I have for Via is why is she crying in the morning when Auggie has to go to school as his halloween costume? The second question is what would Via do if her new high school friends saw Auggie? Finally, my last question is who are Via's best friends have they met Auggie?

2/09/16 What did you learn about Via that surprised you the most? What really shocked me the most was that Via had two best friends who are being very rude to her. They had changed there styles and did not even tell her they met up during the summer without her. They always say to her at lunch that there is no more room sorry but Via knows that statement is a fake. Also what made it really shocking was that she had been friends with them since 4th grade.

2/09/16 How does Via's part about halloween differ from Auggie's? What differs is that Via is sad at this rime of the year because one of the most precious people of her life died, her grans. So it is very depressing time of the year for her while for August's it is the happy time of the year because no one sees how he looks when he goes out so they will treat him normal. It is also different because August's feeling are hurt while Via's are hurt but she helps August with his problems.

2/16/16 Why was Justin's part important give examples?

Justin's part is important because Justin is an important character's trusted person who knows most of the important things that is happening currently and is really interesting the way he reacts. An example of this is when he understands what Jack is going through. When he finds out what is happening he immediately goes up to a group of strangers who were being mean to someone who was his girlfriend's brother's friend. He doesn't even know Jack at all and plus he is going to a group of strangers. Most people would not just go up to a group of strangers who are being mean to someone they don't know. Also this someone who Via trusts. Via is very important to the story and somethings have not been revealed yet. Through this character, you find out important things for an example, you never knew that Via was in a play.

2/18/16

Miranda feels happy because she is experiencing a hard time in her life. She just lost her best friend and her best friend's brother who she misses deeply, her parents are divorced, and because of that she barely sees her father and her mother is depressed. So, when Via says you are definitely coming, that means to Miranda that she can stop thinking about her parents, get her best friend and her best friend's brother, and plus Via's parents are like parents to Miranda who care for her.

Protagonist- The main character in a Antagonist- The person who is the rival of the protagonist, sometimes the villain of the story, or the conflict of the story. Dynamic- Static- Direct characterization- Indirect characterization-

1. Do you think parents should believe the stories their children tell, or should they investigate the truth when important matters are involved? Do you think a parent's role is to give a child emotional support even when he or she has done something wrong? Is there a point at which a parent may have to let society punish a child for wrong-doing?

5/10/16

I think parents should believe the stories their children tell to encourage children to believe in their dreams and that you can do anything if you work hard. The reason a parent should believe in their children's story is because if they don't then, their child will not raise his hand in class for help and will not ever ask for help to anyone. They also will never learn to achieve their dreams because they know it is just a dream that will never come true because the parent never believes the child and if the parent finds out the truth. Then, the child will never go back to the parent for help even he is telling the truth. I think that the role of a parent is to make sure that he does not doing wrong things. I think a parent should explain to the child what are the punishments of doing the bad deed and what could happen because of the punishments. I think there is a point where a parent should let a child get punished by society if it is a minor punishments because if it is a big punishment. Then, the child will never return to the parent for help.

2. When a rule at school does not make sense to you, do you have the right to decide which rules you will obey and which you will not? Can you think of a rule you would refuse to obey? What would be the consequences?

I think that you do have a right to not a obey a rule if it does not make sense o=to you or you think it doesn't make sense. A rule, I would disobey is a rule that says I can't play outside with a pencil outside because the pencil is dangerous. I would disobey this rule because the rule does not make sense and I don't seem in anyway how a pencil could be a huge "threat". The consequences would be that I would visit the principals office and explain my actions. I would also have to tell the bad things to my parents and have my conduct grade lowered to a D, F, or a C.
