1/26/16 at the end of the tour it was a little sad and i felt bad for August. The reason why I was sad was because through the hole tour Julian had been nice or sweet nether but mean and nasty. Also the only person that had been nice to him the whole time was Charlotte. He had to make an excuse to leave because he hadn't had that good of a time. I wish it would have been better for August. In the end his mom saw he wanted to go and didn't push him to stay.

2/2/16 how do i feel about Aggie's september experience? I went pretty well. He has 2 really nice friends and everybody is getting used to him. Almost nobodies picking on him except for Julians really mean comment. I am glad he has Jack in most of his classes. It was nice that Summer sat with him even though her friend said that she shouldn't sit with him. I wish people didn't act like he is contagious because in the real world you would think that people would be smart enough to know that he is not contagious. It is cool that he has nice teachers it would be awful to have a mean teacher. It is good that Jack will still makes funny jokes and goofs with him even though he is different. Aggie should try to stand up for himself when people wiser about him. It is common knowledge to know that gossiping about people even if they are different are mean. I just hope that the rest of the year his school experience will be better and not get worse.

2/3/16 What should Auggie do about school? Explain. What could help him decide to return? Auggie shouldn't be a coward he should face Jack Will and ask him did he really mean that. Auggie should stay in school because he still has one friend a nice teachers he should think about the people who are nice to him not the mean backstabbing people of the world. If he stays in school it will help him grow as a person. Having strong character is very important. He should try to make new friends show them the real Auggie the amazing boy on the inside not the one on the outside. I believe that if Auggie stands up to people and doesn't just hide they might feel bad about what they said. I hope the year will turn out better for Auggie instead of worse.

2/10/16 Three thing you want to know about Via? Why does she think she needs to protect Auggie? Why does she not fight with her brother like normal siblings do? Why is Via having a hard time with High School?

2/9/16 What I learned about Via that is most surprising is that her name is actually Olivia. I never thought a name like Via could come from Olivia. Who gave her the nickname anyway? Most people don't have nick names for people called Olivia. It was really out of the blue that you learned that in this chapter. Even if it was surprising I still think it kind of added detail and opinion to the story.

2/9/16 How does Via's part in halloween differ from Auggie's? Well the most different part was that she didn't actually like halloween. Also in Auggie's part it didn't tell that there Grandma died on that day. It also didn't tell why Via was upset at all. In Auggie's part it didn't tell that later he had a talk with Via that got him to change his mind about going to the parade. Their perspectives on halloween are very different. Auggie loves halloween but Via doesn't. Auggie's part also didn't say that Via trick or treated with him. In the end they were both feeling the same way about halloween that year.

2/16/16- Why was the Justin - Part Five important for us to read? What did we need to understand by reading Justin's perspective? Please explain your ideas and use examples. the reason his perspective was important to read so that we could know a little more about olivia and find out what it is like to meet august even if you are older and a little more prepared for him but still hadn't seen him before. we needed someone who really didn't know what a close family was like till now. he used the bus from way younger than most kids. his parents got divorced when he was young and don't like each other.his perspective is so different then anybody's perspective before someone who wanted to please olivia but still be true to them selves.

2/18/16- On page 248, Miranda admits to herself..//"for the first time in a very, very long time, I felt absolutely happy."// Explain why she feels this way and be sure to use supporting details. Miranda felt very happy after the show for several reasons. One reason is because she had missed August, and she got to see him again and give him a big hug. Also, because she kind of made up with her best friend Olivia and she had done a nice thing for Via by letting her perform the lead role on opening night. Miranda also felt happy because she felt like she was part of Olivia's family and that she was welcomed and loved by all of them. THe warm feeling of being loved made Miranda happy.

static makes little or no change dynamic makes change direct characterization when the author tell you the characters personality indirect characterization showing by actions

1. Do you think parents should believe the stories their children tell, or should they investigate the truth when important matters are involved? When important matters are involved I believe that parents should do both. They should trust their kids or at least make them think that you trust them because it can get really annoying when you aren't lying but someone still won't believe you no matter how many times you try to tell them you aren't lying. But I also think that they should still investigate in the matter if it really is important. I believe people need a balance in both you should trust but also find out for yourself. Do you think a parent's role is to give a child emotional support even when he or she has done something wrong? I believe parents should be strict and lay down the rules but they should also consider what mindset your child was in when he or she was doing something wrong. Parents should try to figure out why they did what they did and how to prevent it in the future. But what I'm not saying is that the kids don't need to be punished they need to learn for every action there is an equal and oppisite reaction which means if your kid does something good they should get rerorded and if they do something bad they need a punishment. Is there a point at which a parent may have to let society punish a child for wrong-doing? yes

2. When a rule at school does not make sense to you, do you have the right to decide which rules you will obey and which you will not? Can you think of a rule you would refuse to obey? What would be the consequences? I think that if there is a rule you don't understand you should ask why the rule is implace even if it's unfair try to understand it and you should know that if alot of people think the same way present the information and question the rule but if they say no you have to follow the rule it's there job.
