Water Issues
I like. I wish. I wonder. I like that some people are trying to keep the rivers, creeks, lakes, and oceans clean and not polluted. I like that we are teaching our youth to be proactive about protecting our water. I wish people would not pollute so the environment will be nice and clean for all the animals who have done nothing wrong to live in. I wish that everyone would pick up their trash and put things they are done with, where they belong, such as recycling. I wonder if some people are purposely polluting the water. I also wonder is people know what they are doing and still doing it.

A Long Walk to Water
The people of Sudan will protest and disagree with the choices of the government. It is possible the people of Sudan will start militias (resistances) to rebel


 * Syrian camp in Jordan**

There are a little over 300,000 people per camp. There are some things that can be done for them. They can be given food and cleaner water to drink. I think the United States should get involved with these camps. We are a country with a lot of resources and we can give them supplies and volunteer help. The Red Cross is an example of an American volunteer organization that can aid and provide resources for the people in the camps. I think these days there should be equal rights everywhere, so in that case I hope every single person living in a Syrian camp today has a brighter future.

Wonder
1/21/14 One time I felt different when I was transferred to peachtree ridge, a lacrosse team. I play with north gwenett ,another lacrosse team. I was transferred to peach tree ridge with two other kids from my team, although they are elite players. We where sent to help peach tree ridge for the indoor winter season.

When the main character says " The only reason I am not ordinary is because no one else sees me that way" he means that he is trying his best to be ordinary, but other people don't see him like that.

No, even though people think that physical appearance makes People mentally slow its the Lack of learning. If you try your best to learn then you will Grow stronger dendrites and overcome the lack of knowlage

On Page 44
If August's teacher knew more about Star Wars the conversation that was being held would have gone longer.

In Chap ter 17
, Mr. Brown sounds like a great teacher. I would enjoy having Mr. Brown as my teacher. What he does in his class sounds related to genius hour in the 6th grade at our school.

Chapter 3 P.77
, I was amazed when I read that Jack Will was talking about Auggie and asked Julian how to get away from Auggie when he is being followed by Auggie. I thought Jack was a nice kid untill now. Now we know that he was trying to be nice in a fraud way.

On 83
, Via's metaphor about the galaxy changing may be because August is now at school and she is in High School. August is growing up and Via is wanting him to act less like a baby.

On 115
, Via talks about being "normal," to Auggie. She wants him to be a real 10 year old boy and stop being such a baby about things. If he just acts "normal," then he will be treated normal. Auggie decided to just go back to school and not make a big deal about what happened with Jack.

On 175
Jack called himself a hypocrite because he had been hanging out with Auggie all morning, but really didn't want to sit with him at lunch. He wanted to just have some normal time on the first day of school, away from Auggie. Now he is facing the fact that the entire school is mad at him and Auggie is being loyal.

Justin is Via's boyfriend. I think that Justin will help Via see things differently about Auggie. I think Justin will teach everyone a new way of looking at things.

Part 5 Justin
I think the author didn't use capital letters is because he is not a main character. What I mean by not a main character is that he is not part of the family and the problem at school. Justin in my opinion is not an important character, but he is Via's boyfriend.
