1/26/16- In these two chapters we got to meet some more characters, Jack Will, Julian, and Charlotte. Jack Will and Charlotte were nice to Auggie but Julian made some rude comments to Auggie and that made Auggie feel uncomfortable. When they got back to Mr. Tushman's office Julian started to act nice to Auggie's mom and Mr. Tushman that shows that Julian is a Eddie Haskal to the parents and rude to his fellow classmates.

2/2/15- I felt that Auggie liked his new school, and it started off good. In his homeroom Julian was being nicer to him, when they were talking about //Star Wars// and Auggie knew that Julian really mean't it. Then he went to English and he liked his teacher Mr. Browne. He was talking about precepts and how his class would be fun. Then at lunch Auggie was sitting alone but then a girl named Summer came and started to talk to him and they made a list of people that could sit at the table only if they had a summer name! Then that night Auggie's mom read to him and Auggie started to cry softly. Auggie thought that Middle School was hard so we had to adjust to that and that was hard.

2/3/16- I think that Auggie should go back to school and not say anything about it, but not hang with Jack Will or Julian anymore. I think this because Jack Will was one of Auggie's first friends at Beecher Prep and now he is Auggie's worst friend, that broke Auggie's heart and his confidence and it will probably be hard for Auggie to recover from that. Some one that could help Auggie go back to school is Summer, she is Auggie's best friend and I think that Auggie really like's her as a friend, and Summer could have leverage to help bring Auggie back to school. Also his Mom and Dad could help in this decision because they were a little shaky at first but now they like that they made that decision to let him go and I know Auggie doesn't like to let his parents down so that could play a big role.

2/7/16- A question I have for Via is that you being Auggie's sister do you to have fights that any ordinary brother and sister would have? My second question is that do you get made fun of because of Auggie, or does anyone know other than your family of Auggie's face? My final question is that do you ever get angry if Auggie doesn't have to do something and you have to do it, and do you like it if Auggie gets more attention then you?

2/10/16- That Via's life is just as hard as Auggie's life and that Via is in a hard spot right now with her friends and her school. The thing that surprised me the most is what Via said: '' We've all spent so much time trying to make August think he's normal that he actually thinks he is normal. And the problem is, he's not.'' If August heard that he would of never liked his sister ever again.

2/10/16- Via's Halloween was pretty bad, in the morning Via didn't go to school because her Grandmother died the day before Halloween and that brought sad memories to Via and her mom, so they were crying on the sofa. While that was happening Auggie went to school in his costume and know one knew it was him so people touched him and peopled acted like he was normal, but when he got in his homeroom he overheard Julian and Jack Will say bad things about him and then he went to the nurse because he felt sick. So they both had pretty different day's.

2/16/16- Justin's part was very important, it gave a view of how Via and Justin viewed Auggie and how the high school life is. It also gave a idea of how Via feels about her friends and Auggie and how not getting a lot of attention feels and what it does to you. Even though that Auggie's face is deformed it doesn't make a difference, he is still a ordinary 6th grader and this part really showed that. Even though this part was short it had a lot of depth in it and it mean't a lot to Via. This part didn't only focus on Auggie it had some parts about Via and Jack Will. Also Justin is probably the same age as Olivia (or Via) so he knew how growing up with your family not really paying attention to you made you feel way more independent. But the real meaning of Justin's part ( I think) is this phrase: Don't judge a book by it's cover. This sentence doesn't only imply with August it imply's with Via, Jack Will and maybe even Justin. Justin also gets a bond with the Pullman family and now the Pullman family has trust with Justin.

2/18/16- She feels happy because Via and herself finally redid their friendship. Before that day they were still friends but they really hadn't seen each other and talked for a while so when Via's Mom and Dad said they wanted to have dinner she said she couldn't but when Via came over and put her arm around her and said You're definitely coming. You could tell from reading, Miranda was happy! Also she hadn't been really close to Via and she didn't go over to her house a lot so when Via said that, she was the happiest person on earth!
