1/26/16-The emotions that went on in my head were mad, happy, and humorous. I was mad because Julian was being such a jerk to Auggie. Auggie is coming to the school for the first time and Julian is being horrible. I was happy becuase Charlotte would stand up for Auggie when Julian was saying stupid things and she was very nice to Auggie. I was tickled becuase Jack Will didn't say much, but when he did he stood up for Auggie and said shut up very calmly. I was also annoyed because Julian was sucking up to Mr. Tushman and Auggie's mom after he had been such a jerk.

2/1/16- Auggie's September wasn't that bad. Auggie got more accustomed to schooI like waking up early in the morning, doing homework, and not having as much free time on his hands. I feel that Auggie got more comfortable with the school and people got comfortable with him. Jack Will sat next to Auggie in every class, he hung out with Auggie, and made Auggie laugh. This made me feel delighted because somebody was actually friends with Auggie in school and when people stared at him and Auggie he acted like he didn't even notice it.

2/3/16- I think Auggie should go back to school because he can still make new friends and ditch Jack Will, who has been a jerk to him. Summer is one of his best friends. If Auggie got into a different homeroom he would feel better. Jack Will and Julian are in his current homeroom and if Auggie moved homerooms he wouldn't have to see there faces and Auggie should change classes that he, Julian, and Jack Will are in. Maybe, if Auggie could get Julian expelled that would totally make Auggie go back to school.

2/4/16- Do people ever make fun of you because you have have a brother that has down syndrome? Have you ever moved houses and how did you adjust to your surroundings? What sports do you play and does Auggie play with you? Have you ever wanted a different brother than Auggie, a brother without down syndrome? Who is your role model and why? Why does she has temper tantrums? What kind of person are you?

2/9/16- What I learned about Via that most surprised is that she can calm Auggie down when he is mad. Like on page 115 Auggie is very upset and Via calms him down. Also Via is being able to control her temper tantrums a little better. 2/9/16-Usually Via and her mom cry and watch The Ghost and Mrs. Muir which Via says is the best black and white movie ever. Via is not very happy during Halloween. Auggie loves Halloween because no one can judge him and he can act like a regular kid. No one will stare at him, no one will look at him, and no one will be mean to him. Auggie's best day of the year is Halloween and Via's saddest day is Halloween.

2/16/16- The Justin - Part Five was important for us to read because it gave us a different perspective of how other people see Auggie especially how high schoolers would react like Justin. Also it might have been important to read Justin's part to compare his family to Auggie and Via's family like Auggie's parents aren't divorced and Auggie's family say I love you all the time to each other and laugh a lot, but Justin's parents are divorced, Justin's brother acts like he doesn't exist, and on page 192 Justin said that he doesn't even remember the last time his family said "I love you". Justin also calls Via Olivia. By reading Justin's perspective we needed to understand that high schoolers and middle schoolers and little kids all have different ways of seeing Auggie. Like when Justin first saw Auggie he was calm about it and Justin didn't make a face when he saw Auggie. When Justin heard about Auggie and his syndrome and all his surgeries Justin thought that Auggie would look more "normal looking".

2/18/16-Miranda says she feels absolutely happy because her parents had become divorced and her Dad is remarrying and her mom doesn't talk to her a lot. Miranda also missed Via's family. Via's family was like a second family to her and Auggie was like her brother. Miranda said,"For the first time in a very, very long time, I felt absolutely happy." because no one would have came to see her perform. All her friends were at a volleyball game, her mom was busy, and her dad was about to have another baby. Miranda was sad because she was drifting away from Via. Another reason Miranda felt absolutely happy is that when she saw Auggie and his parents and that now Via and her are friends again.
