1/26/16- I thought the chapters that we read in Reading today were a taste of the world for August, he met two people that he kinda liked, Jack and Charlotte, but there was one person, Julian, who he did not like. To me that is how the world is. Some people are going to judge you on how you look or what your back round is, a lot of people are prejudice against Mexicans and that can kinda relate to people with birth defects.

2/2/16- I felt like it his first month at his new school was a 7 because he found new friends,nobody bullied him (excluding Julian), and what surprised me was that he was laughing at his face which I would not do if I was like that. Also, his first month kind of gave him a further look into what his future is going to hold with everybody giving him stares because usually not a lot of people accept people who have birth defects. But, overall I feel like it was an extraordinary first month of school for kid like Auggie.

2/7/16- I think Auggie should stand up for himself make sure that he does not get bullied by what other people. He may have just witnessed his not so best friend anymore dis him. He should think about what he likes about school and what friends he has. I mean it isn't like he can change what Jack said. He has to put it behind him and make sure that he focuses on the good things in life and not the bad things. This may be a hard thing to do since I would say 85% of his life is negative but he has got to find a way to get over that big hump. Also he has to not be shy guy anymore he has got to look up even if people are going to stare at him.

2/7/16- What issues are going on in her first year at her new high school? How she actually thinks about Auggie? Is she the person that Auggie describes her as?

2/9/16- The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that she showed more emotion than I thought she would. I never knew that she cared so much about Grans and that she was her favorite. I thought she would be this girl who had a friend or two that she always hung out with and really cared about Auggie.I was also surprised that she realized that Auggie was the main attention and that she cared about grans the most too. Although she cared about Auggie she didn't think that he was normal, she knew that he was not normal at all in anyway phyisically. 23

2/9/16- It was emotional because grans had died the night before halloween. It has been four years since. Her mom and her cry together for grans and they also watched The Ghost and Mrs. Muir together. Also when they were watching it that is when the nurse called to pick up Auggie. After that Auggie told her sister why he was acting sick. That was when she talked to him.

2/16/16- I think it was important because there is finally someone other than their own family who realizes how great of a family they are. Also his perspective was important because he is the only one who spends time with the Pullman family. One example is when he said that Olivia's parents made him feel comfortable right away and that just pulls together the pullman family. Also he finally realized that there are great families and the reason I say that is because he says that his family doesn't really click together and nobody really cares for him in his family. There is a real big contrast in the two families. Also this character that we just met we had no idea about until page 184 and 185. Which makes him a good surprise character in the story. Also the thing with this surprise character, Justin, is that he really becomes an important character all of a sudden. Also Via mentioned him when she entered the nerd group and she said she liked him.

2/18/16- She felt that way because she had just seen Auggie for the first time in a year and it almost seems as if Miranda and Via's huge gash has now been stitched up and Auggie technically was the doctor who stitched it up. I say this because when Miranda saw Auggie outside walking down the aisle about to sit down she immediately coughed up her lead part to Via and because of that they were both very happy and mIranda was even happier when she hugged Auggie. But, before this Miranda was going through some tough times, her parents got divorced over the summer and her dad was getting married again and also went to camp and got influenced into doing a lot of bad things like smoking and dying her hair pink. But now that really isn't all that important. I don't know if Ella is cool with Via but am I sure it will eventually happen because they all are great people but when things happen they can temporarily change on the inside and also change on the outside too, pink hair and tube top. Also Miranda did not just love Auggie she also realized how great the Pullman family is and how well they usually get along with each other and she likes that like any other normal person in the world if they met Via or Auggie's family. But what matters is that Miranda and Via are now friends again.

2/23/16- When he said that he meant that people were friends with different people new people were becoming popular that were not popular before.

5/10/16 Avi- 1. I think parents should investigate the truth when important matters are involved and I also think that parents should not los etheir temper when their child has done something wrong and give them that emotional and make sure that they know not to do that again in a nice way and also yes, sometimes have to let there learn something on their own but it also depends on the situation of the event. 2. It is not right to ever disobey the rules but to speak and ask about the rule and the rule I sometimes disobey is running in the hallways when I am late for class and I have never got in trouble for it.
