1/26/2016- My thoughts after the tour were mad and happy. Like for instance I can't believe how mean Julian was to Auggie by cutting him on the stairs and making him stumble and asking if his face was burned. He also acts differently with adults and he acts the most helpful with them and as nice as he can so he doesn't get in trouble or the parents don't like him. Auggie probably should speak up. I thought that Charolette was a goody two shoes while Jack Will was the one who was humble and nice to Auggie. I was happy that Auggie had a friend like Jack Will.

2/2/15- After Auggie's September at Beecher I felt delighted and distraught. I was happy because it was like Auggie enjoyed when he was with the teachers and when he had Summer sitting with him during lunch. He also enjoyed when Jack was next to him because he was the only one with Summer who would sit with him in class and in lunch. Jack and Summer were very nice and kind to August. Jack always cracked jokes and made Auggie laugh. Summer made a list of people who had summer names that could sit with them at their table. Jack Will and Summer were the two upstanders. I was mad because every time he was not in classrooms every body would make fun of his face, make rude comments, and stare at himin the hallways and at lunch. I hated how there were so many bullies like Miles, Henry, and of course, Julian. I feel like Auggie will most probably love Beecher Prep, but there will probably be a few bumps along the way.

2/3/16-Going to school is a very important decision. I think that Auggie should just forget about Jack or not talk to him by giving him the "silent treatment" and return to school. I think maybe if he talked about it to some one in his family like his mom, dad, or Via, his sister he would feel better. Also maybe an apology from Jack Will would make him feel like going back to school. Auggie should keep going to school to finish an education to get a job. If he decides not to go to Beecher Prep he might not make as many friends as if he goes to Beecher Prep because the school year already started and people might start getting used to his face. I hope Auggie returns to school because if I were in his place, I would.

2/4/16-I have a few wondrous questions about Via. Could Via's life be affected by Auggie, because of Auggie's face and all his surgeries? Does Via ever wish that Auggie' s appearance could have been normal instead of how he looked right now? Last but not least, at school, is Via called names and gets bullied like Auggie because of her brothers facial appearance?

2/9/16- There were so many things I was surprised about Via, but the thing that most surprised me is that Via was happy when she was with her Grandmother and felt like a normal girl and when she came back from her Grandmothers house she didn't feel normal once she saw Auggie again. I was also very surprised that she tried to hide Auggie from her friends because she didn't want anyone thinking that she had a freak brother. But when her brother needed help she always helped him like any extraordinary sister would do when their brother or sister felt sad. All in all, even though of how she acts at school about hiding Auggie, I think she is a great sister because she helps Auggie.

2/9/16- There were a couple of different things about Via's and Auggie's day on Halloween. Via's Halloween differs from Auggie because on the morning of Halloween, Via stayed home and cried with her mom about her Grandmother's death. Auggie's Halloween was different because he went to school and went in a Halloween costume, the Bleeding Scream. Auggie also heard Jack Will say something mean about him that if his face looked like Auggie's he would kill himself. Olivia was at home so she wasn't talked about meanly that she knew of. Auggie came home and said he had a stomach bug, while Olivia didn't have a stomach bug. Auggie laid down and cried on his bed. Via comforted Auggie. I felt bad about Via's and Auggie's day of Halloween.

2/16/16- Part five was important for me because it felt like it was from another persons point of view right when they see Via's brother, Auggie and his family. We needed to understand how Justin felt around Via and her family like from a normal persons view. Justin was very shocked when he saw Auggie, but didn't want to show Olivia that he was shocked by Auggie's facial disorder or appearance. Also he talks about how Via is like a bird, a baby bird that can't find his or her nest and needs Justin's "wings" to hide under. Justin said that his parents got divorced when he was four and hated each other since and he talked about how he always wanted a family like Via's, a family that said I love you to each other very often and always had personal conversations with you. Like Miranda said that the world wasn't kind to August Pullman, JUstin thinks the same. Sometimes, Justin just doesn't know what to do. For example he has a very tough time with everything since his family got divorced, he got lead role in the play, and has to spend time with his girlfriend, Olivia. I feel that Justin is a nice, humble, and caring guy because he took Jack to the bus stop, gave him a dollar to get gum, and went up to Julian, Miles, and Henry and told them not to mess around with Jack. Overall Justin and Justin's part played a big role.

2/18/16- Miranda felt happy for the first time in a long time because she was happy when Via said that Miranda was definitely coming with them. I felt that she was happy because after a very long time she felt like she had a family again because she was with August and his parents and she was most happy because Via was happy when she said your coming with us to her and she felt like Via was a sister to her after a very long time. I think that Miranda felt bad when she badmouthed Via with Ella. She also told Auggie to tell Via that she missed her and she and Via finally came back to each other on the night of the play. Miranda said that the thing she most missed about Via was her family. Her family is so different from Via's family because Miranda's family is divorced and his dad remarried and is having a baby, while Via's family is close together and their relationship is strong and they have a very tight family. When she saw Via's family in the crowd when she peeped at the audience from behind the curtain, she felt that there was no one there for her so she wanted Via to have the chance and have her family enjoy. I think that Via was happy that Miranda did that because after the play ended and they were going to dinner, Via wanted Miranda to come with them and she put her arm around Miranda and I think that made her feel like a family. I think because of her own actions, she felt happy as she went to dinner with Via's family.

CHARACTERIZATION Protagonist-Main Character(Usually the good guy with the good traits) (POSITIVE USUALLY) Antagonist-(Usually the bad guy, the one who is against the protagonist or some other thing) (NEGATIVE USUALLY) Conflict-Internal and External Conflicts(Can happen to anyone, not just the protagonist) Dynamic- A character who undergoes a lot of change Static-A character that undergoes very little to no change Direct characterization-Author gives exact wording(Ex. Bob is smart) Indirect characterization- Author tells something about a character with a person's actions and thoughts(Ex. Bob always answers correct. So he is smart.)

1.5/10- I think that the parents should investigate the truth when important matters are involved because if there is something which needs to be known, the parent needs to know it from a person who watched this thing happen because if you get it from the child's stories it could be wrong information. It could be wrong information because the child might tell the parent what happened from their point of view which is usually unreliable because they would be biased towards themselves. I think it is a parent's role to give the child support if the thing that the child did was minor. If it was major, I wouldn't let the thing that my child did go. I would get mad and talk to them and make them feel guilty and learn there lesson. At a point, a parent might have to let society punish their child because at some point if the does something very bad he or she will have to face consequences like if the did a murder or put another person's life at risk.

2. 5/10-You do not have the right to not obey rules because either something very bad will happen or someone will get hurt. Most rules are meant for a purpose, so you should obey them. If people want to break the rules, they are allowed to, but it is their choice and there will be consequences. I would refuse to always raise my hand and talk, because I love to talk freely. The consequences would be being sent out of the room or to have detention.
