1/26/16- At the end of the tour we found out that Auggie liked all of his tour mates except Julian. During the tour Julian was being really mean to Auggie and asking him questions that he knew Auggie doesn't liked being asked. Also I think that Julian doesn't want to be Auggie's friend because all of his popular friends, if he had popular friends would make fun of him because he is friends with a new kid that has a deformed face. His other two tour mates, Charlotte, and Jack Will, stood up for Auggie when Julian was being really mean to him.

2/1/16- At the end of September at Auggie's new school I felt that he was kinda and kinda didn't like it, and I felt like all of the homework and no breaks since he was homeschooled overwhelmed him. At the end of September at Auggie's new school he meets a new person at his school named Summer at lunch. I felt that Auggie and Summer are really good friends because how their names relate to actual months of the year. Also I think Auggie is really mad at his mom because he signed him up for school when he really didn't want to, and now he is trying to act like he likes his new school, so he doesn't make his mom mad at him or disappointed. Lastly, I think that Auggie is starting to get used to everyone in hi school looking at him and taking a quick look back when they past him even though people don't think they know that he knows what you have been doing to him.

2/3/16- I think that Auggie should keep going to school, but if he keeps finding out that Julian and Jack Will are saying stuff about him again or two more times I think Auggie should tell his parents what is going on or get some advice from his older sister, Via. I think Auggie might return to school if Jack will says he sorry to him for saying all the stuff he said about him on the phone and say that he didn't really mean all the stuff he said he was just trying to be like the popular kids and not be made fun of.

2/4/16- My three questions are, What do you and Auggie like to do together? What do you think when people stare at Auggie? How do you bring Auggie up when he is sad?

2/9/16- Three big things I learned about Via after reading all of these pages is that Via doesn't care what people think of her brother, and she really helps and encourages Auggie, during all of his surgeries. I also didn't know that she only had 2 friends I though she would would have a lot more friends that what she has. Another thing I learned about Via is that she is very open about everything that happens and has happened to her friends. One example is when Auggie had a racial deformity and he had a lot of surgeries he told her friends about it.

2/9/16- I think that Via's part of Halloween was different to Auggie's part because wanted to stay home for Halloween because her grandma had died and she didn't feel like doing Halloween. Auggie was mad because he was sad that Jack Will didn't really want him as a friend, and he used him.

2/16/16- I think Justin's part of the story was important for us to read because it gives us Justin's insight on Auggie and Via, what he thinks about him, and the relationship he has with Via. We needed to understood about how Justin thinks and how his personality is. One example is when he was talking to Via about Auggie in Via's room. Another example is when Justin was greeting Auggie for the first time. We find out in the chapter named, Valentines Day, that Justin's parents aren't in his life as much as Auggie's and Via's parents are and don't sit down with him and talk to him. We also find out that Justin's parents got divorced when he was just four years old, and his little brother barely even knows that Justin exist. I think that Auggie and Via's parents act as if they are Justin's parents too, Lastly, at the end of Justin's part he protects Jack Will from Julian, Henry, and Miles when they were messing with him.

2/18/16- I think Miranda said she felt happy for the first time ever because Via and Auggie's family invited Miranda to dinner that night and Auggie gave Via a big hug, and she felt happy because she finally had someone that cared for her because she didn't have her parents anymore because at the beginning of high school her parents had gotten divorced. Also she felt really happy for Via after the play, and she was actually really really excited to see Auggie for the first time in a long time and she gave him a great big hug. Lastly, Auggie and Via's parents were really trying to convince Miranda to come to dinner with them that night and that really made her feel like she was a part of a family, and was really really happy.

5/10/16 1. Do you think parents should believe the stories their children tell, or should they investigate the truth when important matters are involved? Do you think a parent's role is to give a child emotional support even when he or she has done something wrong? Is there a point at which a parent may have to let society punish a child for wrong-doing?

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?

1. I think that parents should try to find the truth when important matters are involved just to check if they have a truthful child. Yes, I think that you should help your child with emotional support so they know that you are there for them, but I also think that you need to let your child know that this is going to happen in the real world, and that you won't always be there to help them in tough/emotional situations.

2. No, you should obey all the rules that the school has made, so you don't get in trouble.
