1/27/16- My feelings were sort of mixed up after the tour. I felt sad for Auggie, really mad at Julian, and felt happy for Charlotte and Jack Will. But Auggie must've felt horrible after Julian asked him about his face. Charlotte seemed really nice to Auggie. But the thing that surprised me was that everyone did the " look away " thing. But even I would do it and I'm admitting it. Auggie and Jack Will probably will become best friend and most likely befriend Julian on the way. I found it kind of cool that since the new Star Wars movies just came out and that Auggie really likes Star Wars. Even though Julian seemed to act differently towards Auggie, I believe that they will be really good friends later on.

2/2/16 - Sometimes Auggie makes me worried and about how he's still going to go to school. I found it kind of cool that even though no one might be Jack's friend, he still hangs out with Auggie. Also it was really funny how they made fun of the people that made fun or Auggie. But I think that the teachers purposely put Jack and Auggie together since it mean less "whoa's". I also feel that later on in the book people will come to like Auggie and the wonderful things he did. It doesn't matters on the outside, it matter on what's on the inside.

2/3/16 - I think that Auggie should return to school even though people might continue to bully him. I believe that because later on in life Auggie will face much more challenge besides going to school and if he doesn't get used to it now then he won't be able to go to college. Also he might want to see Jack, Charlotte, and Summer. If he doesn't go back for all we know Auggie might never see them again. To make him return remind him of the science elective and of how much fun he could have there. You need to remind him about the summer only table and how Summer could be lonely without him. Add the fact that without Auggie there, people would talk even more about him like how he just stopped going to school or about how he could be a really big wimp. If you ask me I think that Auggie really needs to go back to Beecher Prep.

2/4/16 - Via is Auggie's older sister and I wanted to know how she thinks and how she works with people looking at Auggie. Via, what would you do if you had an ordinary little brother, no defects or anomalies? Also what would you do if you heard about what happened in school with Auggie, Jack, and Julian? Lastly, what is your favorite thing to do with Auggie.

2/9/16 - I found it interesting that her friends, Ella and Miranda, still were friends with Via even though she had a different brother. I also found it surprising that Miranda kept on playing with Auggie even though no one else would. It was kind of cool to know that Via's real name was Olivia. Via's genetics were more varied that I imagined. Like with one family being Portuguese or that her grandparent escaped from the Nazis. Things were different in any way then I imagined.

2/9/16 - Via's part in halloween was to follow Auggie around as he felt really happy trick or treating while no one stared at his face. I guess Auggie feels really happy and excited with Via maybe also because that Via could run faster and catch up with Auggie faster than her parents. To Auggie Halloween is the best day of the year for him, so maybe Via wants to make it better for him any way she can. Also she has to remember about her grandma and while Auggie's supposed to have the best time of his life. They're polar opposites.

2/16/16- Justin was important info for us. It shows us the actual feelings of a normal dude that just met a person like Auggie. We needed to understand that Justin was in fact scared of Auggie at first, but then he actually wanted to be like him. He wanted a family that would laugh and say I love you with, a family that is together. On page 189, he clearly states that he was surprised by Auggie's face and that it wasn't his fault. Also it kind of shows Justin's past and how lucky Auggie is to have such a loving family.

2/18/16 - Miranda feels this happy because she can finally be herself. Not lying about having parents in Europe and living. She didn't have to act cool just to try and be popular. If you ask me about the makeup and everything, the popular girls changed everything about her. Miranda can actually hang out with her real friends and not some frauds. Miranda felt happy about seeing Auggie and I'm pretty sure Auggie was glad to see her too. Parties are fun only when you're at your best and when you're with the best friends in the world!

 * Nothing But the Truth**

5/10/16 - I think that parents sometimes don't give a second thought about what their child has said, sometimes they think about it and never go e to the idea. Other times parents get paranoid about what their child said. For instance " Mommy, there's a big,scary monster outside" Then the parent will go outside and see that it was just a lizard and they get grab a chainsaw to kill it. I think the parent should be wary about what the child said but, always find out the truth.

5/10/16 - At school, I can think about a bunch of rules that didn't make sense like the skirt length. But other rules like get two napkins when you eat or something like that, I truly don't follow that rule. But some rules like uniform can have huge consequences sometimes so always try to follow the rules unless it;s something small.
