2/1/16-After Septemer I felt releif that he was fitting in for the most part and he was starting to get used to homework, tests,and waking up earlier.He is also making new friends. Auggie takes school more seriously because he has never been to it like everyone else and people are getting used to being around him.

2/4/16-I think Auggie should take some time off of school and talk to his parents so Julian and him can work it out. Auggie should also talk to Mr.Tushman about it to get Julian and other people to stop.Something that might encourage him to go back to school is his other friends.

2/4/16- ~Is Via always as nice to Auggie as we have seen so far in the book? ~Is Via a bully at her school or is she bullied? ~What does Via like to do in her free time?

2/9/16-What I learned from Via that most surprised me was that she was able to do everything all by her self all her life. It would be extremely hard for me to do the same thing she did. I would not have been able to hold in all of my feelings and not tell my parents. I am also surprised that she doesn't feel very sad about Auggie getting all of the attention.

2/10/16-Via and Auggie have problems with their friends. But the way their Halloween differs is Auggie has a choice to never see his friends again or go back to school and Via has a choice between becoming Miranda's friend again of making new friends. But Via is not in a situation where people are scared to touch her and Auggie is. Auggie is also in a tougher situation because of how he looks.

2/16/16-Justin's part was important for us to read to learn more about how the Pullman family and Justin's family differ. Also to better understand how Via feels. We needed to understand that even though Auggie has facial anomalies, he is very lucky.In the Pullman family everyone says I love you and shows how much they care to each other.But in Justin's family they don't do that and he says he even feels neglected. Justin does not get a lot of attention. Reading Justin's part gave me a different perspective of many people in the book. Justin is also important because he cares very much for Via. I feel like Justin is a person Via needs to share her feelings with about school and Auggie. Via has always been used to doing things her self and knows she can not share her feelings about certain things with her parents. Justin is a person who can lighten up everything going on in the book.

2/18/16-Miranda said this because she felt like Via was finally accepting her.Miranda had changed her look and personality over the summer so much that Via didn't really have so much in common with her anymore.I think that Miranda went to Ella after camp instead of Via because she knew Via wouldn't approve. Miranda also likes being popular and it would be hard to be popular and friends with Via at the same time.So she had to chose which one she wanted to be more. I also feel like Miranda was waiting for Via to accept her so they could try to be friends again.But I hope their friendship will last.

1.I think parents should investigate the truth when it comes to important matters because what children say is based on what they think and parents shouldn't accuse someone else if they aren't sure that it happened. A parent should give their child emotional support but still teach them a lesson and they should not let society punish their child because someone else could get hurt.

2.If a rule does not make sense to a person they should ask a teacher or parent and try to obey it because we don't have the right to disobey it. There isn't a rule I can think of that I would disobey.
