Musical:

The meaning of the song 'Wonder" by Natalie Merchant is a song to may people who grew up with special needs and their caretakers. The song views these people as "wonders," with doctors having no explanation for their condition, but seeing the work of God in the creation. August is one of the "wonders" in the movie.

Justin Wonder Part 5

1. He's stressing out because he hasn't met Olivia's parents before. Shows this by a few hard blinks and an occasional head pull.

2. He shakes Olivia's dad's hand because that's how men say hello.

He gave Vias mum a hug letting off a friendly vibe.

And a fist-punch for Auggie its something simple.

And a kiss on the cheek to say hello to Via, because he's her girlfriend.

3. Yes, its good to stand up for other people. I love how he tapped his case when he said: "if you don't leave him alone, you will be very sorry". Early that day August and Jack commented that it looks like he had a machine gun in his case.

4. She feels like an awful person because she didn't tell her family about the play. If they come they would bring August and she doesn't want that. She just wanted to be normal without being knowing about her brother.

5. Part five is about Justin's view of what has been happening in the book. In this part, we now know that Justin is Via's boyfriend, that there is a play that Justin and Olivia have taken part in, and that Justin knows what is going on at Augusts school.

Insolence (Wonder 4.5)

Some people need a 

shock collar and

I need the remote

7. Julian's mum photoshopped August out of the class photo because he's a freak, and you should stay away from him.

8. I found that Mrs. Alban's email was very rude. You can't point out the fact that he has special need by the way his face looks. He's just a normal kid. It does not put a burden on kids to befriend August. He's just a kid. Only the truly nice people would hang out with August. While the others just judge people by the way they look.

9. I do not agree that August should not be allowed into Beecher Prep. He is smart enough to go there he just has a different appearance that people are used to.

10. He thinks they are being stuck-up pigs. It's not right to ignore someone when they don't know both sides of the story. What they were doing was absolute nonsense.

Go Ignore me, I don't

care.

But when you need me I

won't be there.

Writing Goals

My skills in writing are spelling.

I find it easy to spell big words, but I forget to include those big words in my writing.

My weaknesses are using big words and Ideas. I find it difficult starting paragraphs.

My next steps in writing are using bigger words and more Ideas.

By the end of the year, my aim is to get an excellence. I should be using bigger words and better starter sentences. 

I would most likely start looking at a thesaurus to find bigger words and find the correct way to use them in sentences.

My goal is to write more at home in my spare time.

1. Norway, 2. Sweden, 3. Cuba, 4. Russia, 5. India, 6. Vietnam, 7. New Zealand, 8. Ireland, 9. Algeria, 10. Zambia

Leaders of those countries

1. Erna Solberg

'We're Not Close Anymore, But I'll Be Here If You Need Me' Wonder 3 and 4

A True Friend's

Silence hurts

More than an

Enemy's Rough

Words.

1. Strange looking was what she thought about his face. Summer sat with him because she felt bad for him. No one was talking/going near him. Everyone was back chatting about him. Its hard enough being the new kid but even worse if you look like August.

2. Because Julian may have a crush on her. Summer is apparently very pretty and kind and the 'popular' group would love having her around. The only condition was that she would have to stop being friends with August.

3. Summer is always nice to Auggie. They are both new and need friends.

4. They are different than they look. They may look like a big angry tough dude but they are actually kind and gentle. They are misunderstood by their appearance.

5. The first reaction was the Jack did not want to do it. 2nd reaction- He doesn't want to hang out with a deformed kid. Jack changed his mind because if a little kid like Jamie. who is usually a nice enough kid, can be that mean, then a kid like August doesn't stand a chance in middle school.

6. He feels rejected. He doesn't understand why August wasn't talking to him.
If he wants to dis me, he's the one who loses - not me. -pg 177
When we realized what summer meant by bleeding screen he regretted everything he said to Julian. He was shocked and speechless.

7. Julian was harassing Jack about being partners with August and how he's a freak, plus no one likes him. Julian kept on going on about how you don't have to be friends and insisted on being partners with Jack. Although Jack said no Julian told the teacher to swap partners. But Jack luckily told the teacher to not swap. Punching Julian in the face was the wrong thing to do but he definitely deserved it. Julian wouldn't stop harassing him about the topic when Jack already said no multiple times.

8. I think of Jack a person that makes mistakes and doesn't know how to fix them. He stands up for his friends if needed to.

9. August would probably be surprised and curious about why be punched Julian in the face.

Dictatorship

A dictator is a political leader who possesses absolute power. These people do not like to share
leadership of a country or state. Dictators are usually stubborn/strict, they don't like agreeing on an
idea or likes changing their decisions that easily. A dictator can megalomaniacal, some can also be
narcissistic.

All dictators are well organized and well-known. They all share a talent of being able to persuade a
person or nearly a country/state/city. The dictators can be very intelligent. Some may be known as
masterminds. They can easily persuade and trick others and make strong decisions correctly.

Example of an Intelligent Dictator-

Joseph Stalin

• Came from absolute poverty with a brute of a father.
• Manipulated Lenin into believing he was "that lovely Georgian".
• Outplayed all of the Bolsheviks against each other (Many of the Bolsheviks were exceptionally intelligent, people such as Trotsky and Lenin so this is saying something)
• Got most of Russia to revere him.
• Arguably outsmarted FDR, either that or FDR was just naive about Stalin's true character.

Franco

• Worked his way up through Spanish military.
• Convinced Germany and Italy to help him in Spanish Civil War
• Arguably a military genius
• Outsmarted Hitler by not joining in WW2
• Kept Spain neutral and was thus Spain was the only Fascist country to profit out of WW2.

A wonderful example of a good dictator is Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. He accepted billions in U.S. military aid and didn't attack Israel. He conducted fraudulent elections, allowed only government-controlled trade unions, muzzled the press and jailed dissidents, subjecting them to horrific torture.

Reflection On Vegetarian Dishes

My thoughts of about it: I don't really mind I like giving things ago. I have had quite a few of vegetarian meals at home, they were all quite easy and tasty dishes.

Thoughts hadn't changed after I tried this at school. I still like eating vegetarian meals, but some I do not like.

I think its good to have a vegetarian dish at least once a week. It's good to just eat veggies and try something else.

You can receive protein and iron from beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

'I Like Being Alone, But I Hate Being Lonely' Wonder 2

1. Part 1 is about August's point of view and what happened to him. In part 2 its all about Via's (August's sister) point of view.
2. Via doesn't get much time for herself with just her parents. She doesn't get much help or attention.
3. When she says August is the sun. This means that August is always the centre of attention.
4. Yes, I agree with Via, You should not be teaching a person that life is like cupcakes and rainbows when it's not. August is not normal. Most people aren't going to treat him like a normal person. In reality, there is no such thing is normal, everyone is different in good and bad ways.
5. She is like a different person at school she can be whoever she wants. Usually, she is known as the kid with a younger deformed sibling.
6. There's a 1 in 4 chance that Via would pass on the defective gene to the child. These are not very good odds.
7. Miranda is a character who was great friends with Via. Since she's been at camp she was thinking about what she wants to be known for in High School. She doesn't include Via and doesn't talk to her. She's kind and friendly but she pretending that popular kid.
8. Via is a kind person. She never gets much attention in her family. I do empathise her. Auggie gets basically anything he wants and gets away with everything. Via is left to fend for her self and bearly gets noticed in her family.
9. I think that Jack Will would not know that August heard anything. He would be most likely unsure why August would be ignoring him.

‘I Didn't Lose A Friend, I Just Realized I Never Had One’ Wonder 1

Wonder

1. because he has a braid at the back of his head. It represents a padawan (A Padawan is a Jedi apprentice).

2. Julian asked Why do you have a tiny braid in the back of your hair?

3. yes, being right is not as strong as being kind. Kindness is important it runs through friends family and acquaintances. Being right doesn't mean anything, good job you did something right but you just left someone behind in the dust you made.

4. I think August was mad at his mother because she was being a bit overprotected, she has been asking a load of questions.

5. Most people prefer not to be friends with an ugly person.

6. An aversion is when you feel hatred towards something. He doesn't like having his photo taken.

7. People think he is a walking disease. Its like he's the old mouldy cheese in Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. August felt violated.

8. My opinion of Jack Will has changed. He lied to August about being his friend and has been talking behind his back.

9. No, He feels betrayed and depressed that his friend lied to him. He doesn't feel like seeing Jack.

"the worst part

about being lied to,

is feeling stupid

cos you believed it"
