Sohil Singh 2/20/15 Reading During reading the book Wonder you can also learn about family situations, different types of families, and family learning lessons. A type of family situation I saw while reading Wonder was when Via and mom fought. It showed that even a good family has their fight and bad moments sometimes. You can compare the different types of families in the book. Auggie's family is loving and caring while Justin's family is split apart and he does not have many interactions with his family. The book can actually teach you family learning lessons.An example of a family learning lesson is when Via and Mom were fighting and they were able to quickly make up by not keeping the fight going on. Wonder has taught us so many lessons and examples about families.

Sohil Singh 2/19/15 Reading My final decision about telling Mr.Tushman about the notes is to not do it. If Auggie and Jack would have told Mr.Tushman when they got their first note I would have said they should tell. If Auggie and Jack were to tell about the notes right now, they would probably get into trouble too. Their messages were not mean, but they still did leave notes in Julian's, Henry's, and Mile's lockers. It would overall be a bad idea to tell and they should just start ignoring the notes. It is the most reasonable thing to do instead of tell and get themselves in trouble too. If they were to tell Julian and his gang would get in big trouble and Auggie and jack in less trouble, but trouble is still trouble.

Sohil Singh 2/9/15 Reading I learned quite a few things from the emails, tweets, Facebook posts, and texts. THese two particular people I learned things about are Lawrence Tushman, and Melissa Albans. Lawrence Tushman has more experience than you would think he has. He tends to know how situations can happen. Tushman also seems to stick up for Auggie a lot. Melissa Albans can be very strict and she does not like Auggie. She might think he has Down Syndrome and is disabled, but I think she just wanted to be mean to Auggie in a way. Those e-mails can really help people learn a lot more about someone. Sohil Singh 2/9/15 Reading I would have forgiven Jack for the mean things he said if he apologized. My reson is simply because he seems like a good friend to have and giving someone a second chance can make a world of difference. If I were in his shoes, I would want a second chance. but, if he did it a second time, I would definitely not forgive him. As I said before, Jack is a hard character to understand, so if he betrays you twice you can definitely not trust him. Jack could get better and I hope he does soon before I can't trust him. Sohil Singh 2/9/14 Reading As of now in the book, I am on jack's side. Jack deserves me on his side, because he is playing the war fair. He isn't going around and spreading rumors. I am almost nuetral, but more on Jack's side. If this was in real life, I wouldn't be on anyone's side. I wouldn't want to get involed in the trouble. My reasons for almost being nuetral are I still do not completely trust Jack about being friends with August. Ever sinvce Halloween he has been a tricky character to examine. If he keeps being friends with Auggie, I will definitely trust him and stay one his side.

Sohil Singh 2/2/15 Reading Summer probably left the party she was invited to because of the trash they were talking about Auggie. Another reason, that is not the main reason, is that she didn't want to talk to Julian. She does not like Julian because she knows the names he has been calling Auggie behind his back. If I were in that situation I would have probably left. If there was someone who was mean and I didn't like trying to hit on me, I would leave.

Sohil Singh 1/07/15 Reading I think Auggie is making a too big deal about birthday parties. If someone treats you like a friend, they might still not invite you to their birthdays. Sometimes friends might not even have birthday parties, so it doesn't matter. I have once been hurt when I was little because I was not invited to my friend's birthday party. It felt like being left out. It may matter a little bit, but overall it does not matter that much.

Sohil Singh 1/12/15 Reading Auggie's mom is more scared than he is at this point because she does not want him to be judged. She is afraid that they might bully him because of his face, and that makes her really scared. It is a mother's instinct to want to protect her child. She wants him to live a normal life and be like other kids and when he can't she feels sad.

Sohil Singh 1/12/15 Right now I feel sad for Auggie. I feel hatred toward Julian. I do not feel anything for Charlotte and Jack. Julian should have not have asked what happened because it is very rude. Charlotte and Jack were ok, but they could have been nicer. They could have looked at him when they were talking. I feel sad for Auggie because it happens to him so often he became use to it

Sohil Singh 1/12/15 Reading In the chapter "Home", I was most surprised when at the end of the chapter, Auggie actually said that he wanted to go to school. I would have thought he wouldn't have wanted to go to school, because in earlier chapters he has said so. He also said he mostly felt sadness and only a little bit of happiness. I wonder what made him change his mind, and I wonder if he will change his mind again. I hope they treat him right.

1/16/15 I learned from reading part one of this novel what August deals with everyday of his life, Jack Will might not be nice, and Julian is the kind of kid who acts a way around different people. I would like to share my thoughts about Summer when I tweet. I really hope Summer does not go behind Auggie's back, like Jack did. Now that Jack might not apologize, Summer might become his new best friend! I would also like to tell how I feel about the people who are not super nice, but are ok or nice. Those people are really nice, because it may be hard to look at him for some people.

1/16/15 After reading Part One of the book, I think Jack Will can still become nice, but he might not. I was starting to like him alot, but then he turned around and made me hate him. I hope I can go back to liking him, if he starts acting nice. If Jack Will can act nice i will go back to liking him. Auggie feelings were really hurt after he heard the comment Julian made, but I don't think he really meant it. Jack has been hanging out with Auggie, and he could have chose not to. Jack was just trying to impress Julian.

1/16/15 Auggie does not want to go to school anymore because of the hurtful comment Jack made about him. If Jack called Auggie to apologize or explain why he said the comment, that might make Auggie want to go back. If I were Auggie I would go back. There may some people who dislike him, but there are many people who like him. It is like a bad side and a good side, and you always look on the good side. He should go back to school, and if Jack is being mean, he should tell, otherwise not.

1/26/15 On page 83 Via says that the galaxy is changing and the planets are falling out of alignment. When she says this she means that the galaxy is her family and they orbit around the sun, August. When she says the planets are falling out of alignment, it may be hinting that she will replace August as the sun. August may orbit around her now. The family order, the galaxy, is changing positions.

1/26/14 On the last paragraph on page 87 Via says that her grandmother's secret was like a blanket that covers her. That sentence means that Via uses her grandma's speech to help her carry on. August has many blankets, but Via has one blanket, her grandmother. It makes her happy and warm, like a blanket would, to know that from Grandma she gets as much love as Auggie usually gets.
