1/27/16 I felt many different feelings in these chapters of the story. It was like I was almost there seeing it all. I was confused at some points and worried for August. Mr.Tushman was trying very hard to greet August and his mother at the door. On the grand tour I had many different feeling. Some for August and some for the children showing him around the school. I had some dispointment at the beggining and end for how one of the students treated August. I had some sadness for August because one of the students asked anout Agust face. And my favorite was the happiness, how one of the students told August things to help him like, "Hey kid, You have to talk." I felt August was not as shy around some of the cildren anymore. In the end i had some angar because of the way one of the students treated him. At then end of the Grand Tour, I was excited and sad for August for his new school, but the ways cildren might treat august.

2\2\16 I think August September went ok. It did not go perfect but went well. He was getting the hang I think of school a little better, and was making some good friends. He had his own "summer'' table that only people with summer names could sit at. He started getting test and more homework. I thinkl it was harder for him because he was not used to all that. The hardest part of school I think for him was not getting free time when ever he wants. Over all i thinkl August had an "OK" September.

2/3/16 I personally think August should tell his parents. I think he should because if he does not people will keep being mean to him and some people that he thinks are his good friends could really turn on him too. If this happened to me I think it would affect my future, because of what happened. The way August looks should not matter, August is a very kind person. I would feel so bad if this little thing affects his whole future. I would feel horrible if he had to stay at school if he is getting bullied and hurt like he is.

2/4/16 My three questions are, 1. Does August's sister have any problems like August? 2. Does Via connect with August a lot? 3. What would Via be like if she never had August as a brother?

2/9/16 The one thing that surprised me about Via was that she really does care about August, much more that I thought. I adored how she had a doll named Lily so she could practice taking care of August. She carried around August more than i thought. Via's life is a lot different because she has August, and its amazing how she deals with all of that.

2/9/16 Via's halloween was different because she wanted to go out and be with her friends. August wanted to stay inside and be alone, while Via wanted to be with everyone.Via invited August and he said maybe. August was worried to go out side to go Trick to Treating, and Via was excited and was ready to go outside.

2/16/16 I think that is was important for us to read this part of the story because it is giving us a whole new point of view. I feel like it is giving us kind of like a new start to hearing the part of the story again. After Justin dating Via for two months, I think Justin has a very good idea of what is/had happened. I feel like Justin was telling August part over again but in a different point of view. I think just is being one of those people who are a friend to August. while Justin dating Via for two months I think he has been around August quite a bit. Also Justin protected and treated August kind of like a little brother. The last reason I would say about reading Justin is because we found out more that what we thought. I kind of thought we found a lot more about Justin and some more about August. The reason I think we found out more is because this is coming from a different person and not August. August really does not know exactly how he acts but Justin might know more because he has seen him, eat, play,and homework. Justin has seen August's life in a whole new way.

2/18/16 Miranda feels happy because she finally feels like she is cared about Via and August parents invieted her over for dinner, I think she was very very happy. She had not seen August in a very long time. When she saw August she gave him a big hug. August also gave Via a big hug because he is happy and excited to see Miranda. I think these are the reason why Miranda felt very very happy in a long time.

Characterization

Protagonist- Main character which is usually the good guy. August Antagonist- The bad guy. Julian Both of these words related to characters.(protagonist and antagonist) Static- This a a character that does not change though the novel. Charlotte, Julian, Summer, Mr. Brown Dynamic- People who do change throughout the novel. Miranda Direct characterization- indirect ^^^^- actions where we determine what the characters are like

5/10/16 I think that parent should believe what their child says. Even though they might not believe it, that is what their child says. If a child does something wrong the parent should be there, and teach them what they have done wrong and what they should have done. Instead of punishing them when the could have thought that was the right thing to do. And last if a child does something very bad and knows it was bad. The parent should punish the child so they know not to do that anymore.

If there is a rule you do not like, that does not mean you can just ignore it, you could get in very big trouble for that. If its the law, you can not ignore it, if its in school, you can not ignore, Those are the big ones that you could get in trouble for. Now if you ignore a rule in a game, you wont get in trouble, but that is not nice and not fair to the other players that actually follow the rules and the actually want to play the game and not joke around with it.
