Water Issues
I like. The fact that people can go to help and prevent waste getting into the water. Also, I like how some people go and help our internment because we need to give back to the beautiful scenery and if we don't the earth will rot and everyone will starve. I admire the people who help the earth I wish. That some people wouldn't be so arrogant and open their eyes and see what they are doing to the earth. Those people need I wonder. I wonder why people who don't understand that if there is a drought and they don't care and say hey look when I turn on the faucet water comes or something like that why won't they look into the future and see what the earth will be like if they aren't careful.

Long Walk to Water
Journal Question: What would happen if the government decided to make one religion the state religion as Sudan tried to do? If the government decided to have only one religion then all of the other people would be killed, go to war, and every thing would fall apart.

Refugee Camp Question
Journal Question: This is an image of a present da refugee camp. How many Syrians are in refugee camp today? What can be done for them? Since you are reading a novel with a character, Salva, facing life in camp like the one above, do you think the U.S. should get involved? Why? How? Use your journal on this wiki to share your ideas. Do some of your own research if necessary. It will be interesting to compare these two events.

Their are more than 1,000,000 people in refugee camps. Maybe one way for the U.S.A. to help is by providing more food, clothing, and etc.Yes, I think that the U.S. should get involved. I think that we should get involved because people in Syria aren't as fortunent as we are and I'm not saying that they are helpless, but we need to help others and if we call ourselves a great nation without helping people then what kind of nation are we? We could help by offering the economy a little money, or help build new schools, or even help ophaned children homes in the U.S. there are many charities that we can start with only one person. We just need to open our eyes.

Wonder
1/21/14 I think that when August says “The only reason I am not ordinary is because no one else sees me that way." is that maybe he has a disorder to were he has only one eye because on the cover there is a face that has only one eye or maybe he just looks different and every one jumps to conclusions and doesn't take time to get to know him.

One of the many times I felt different was when I was in my own neighbor hood because I was playing with my friends and one of them said, "Hey let's go to the club house!" I said no but she just ignored me and to the other girl come on let's go. That is when I felt different because It seemed as if she didn't hear me or didn't have my own voice. Then when I confronted her about it she didn't care and said that I should just do activities I don't want to do. That is one of the times I felt different.

1/23/14 Yes, I do think that sometimes people jump to conclusions and think that people with disabilities are mentally slow because people do do that and people don't want to be weird, but they want to take it easy and make sure that the person or people understand or know what something is.

1/27/14 Wonder Page# forty-four: Yes, on page forty-four I think that the teacher didn't know who Darth Sidious was. Also, I think that if she had known I think she would have talked to him and talked to Mr. Tushman about what he said.

Mr. Browne: Mr.Browne to me seems very nice and understanding because of his tone and how he says what he says in a very nice way. Yes, I would like to have Mr. Browne as a teacher because he doesn't sound very strict he sound like the understanding teacher who will see what's going on if he thinks something is troubling a student.

2/2/14 Jack Will: To be honest I think that Jack Will is nice but he isn't nice. It's pretty complicated to explain Jack Will is mean in a way but he shows another side of himself to be nice to August. Jack Will just is just letting Augusts' face get in the way of friendship that they could have. How I feel now about Jack Will is that he is that I feel that he could do better to try to be friends with August and in that process he has much to learn.

2/2/14 Via Part 2: Via might say that "that galaxy is changing," because August is going to school and he is going through some changes. Maybe Via is shifting into the knew way of life for her and her family.

2/2/14 Via's Speech: I feel that Via's speech on the subject "normal" is very serious to August because he isn't "normal" so to speak because he thinks that what is happening to him at school isn't normal when it really is normal for every child. Yes, I do think that Via's speech helped August go back to school.

2/4/14 Wonder Questions Jack called himself a hypocrite on page 175 because even though he had been hanging out with August all morning, he didn't sit with him at lunch on purpose.

We expect to learn from Justin that he enjoys being different. The author has a part for Via's boyfriend because he is comfortable being himself and being different. He's from Brooklyn and play a fiddle and music from Louisiana.

2/5/14 Justin:

I think that the author didn't use capital letters because maybe Justin might have dyslexia or maybe that is just part of his character. Also, I think that Justin is an important character because he reveals what is going on with other people. Also, Justin soothes people when they feel sad or angry or even a combination. Jack is also an important character because he defends other people when they are, for example, being bullied out of the goodness of his heart.

2/10/14 Completing Miranda:

After completing Miranda's part I feel that Miranda's role is very important because she is going through many changes in her life. Also, the other readers might be going through the same changes and will make the right chose in their life or will receive some advise. Miranda feels safer at Via's house than her own because her parents got divorced and her mother doesn't ever really talk to her or at least after the divorce and Via's family is so welcoming and friendly. Via's Family treats her as if she was part of their own and August is like a little brother to her and Miranda doesn't see her father any more. I think that Miranda and Via will become friends again because Miranda and Via have to talk to each other at some point besides Miranda will have to tell Via her answer to why she gave the part to Via on opening night.
