August is a 5th grader with a rare disease. He has a face deformity. August did not go to school until 5th grade because of how much surgeries he has had on his face. His mom decided to home school him until she thought he was ready. August's favorite holiday is Halloween. It is Halloween because it is a day where you can use a mask to cover his face. First Halloween he was a pumpkin. 2nd he was a Tiger, 3rd he was Peter Pan and etc. He likes Halloween more than he likes Christmas because he is ashamed of how he looks.

If I was a movie director I would put August Pullman in my movie because he was the main character of my book. I would include Summer because to show the emotions in the lunch table of what August felt. I would also include Nate, Isabel, and Via because they are August's family and in a movie you should include family members to the main character unless something happened to them. Those would be the main character ad I would add less important characters in my movie. (If I had to make one)

I can relate this story to real life. For example, someone who moved here that looked different than many of us years ago came to our school. (Elementary School) August was different than other people in his school. Summer cam down to his table and started to make friends with him. I was being friendly around him and saying kind words to him to make him feel welcome to this school.

An important lesson I learned throughout the book is to never judge a person's appearance. They are a normal person. Just because someone looks different than everybody else does not mean you have to treat them differently. August is a normal 5th grader. He has many hobbies as similar people that are in his grade. Although August is different looking, does not mean you have to judge them and make a stereotype about them.

August Pullman is a 10 year old. If I was to describe August I would say that he is a nice person that does not like school. He has a rare medical facial deformity, which he refers to as mandibulofacial dysostosis. He made a friend named Summer. Summer is a girl and they met at a lunch table because August had no one to sit with and Summer's table was too crowded and decided to .

Question 11
I would recommend this book to another reader. I would because I feel like many people would like this book. The reason why they would like this book is because of how engaging and interesting this book is. Also the cover page makes you wonder "why does he only have one eye" and that would make the reader want to find out why and will read the whole book.

Due BOP Thursday, 6/8. Look at the sample below for quality expectations.

Book Title: Wonder
Author: Raquel J. Palacio
Genre: Fiction
Date Started: May, 29
Total Pages: 310
Current Page #: 48
Main Character: August is a 5th grade kid that has a rare medical deformity. So far in his life he has had 27 surgeries. Also, he has been home schooled but now his mom thinks he's ready for middle school in a public school where there are many kids to socialize with.
Secondary Character(s):
1. Via Pullman is the older sister of August. She is starting high school and she is very nervous about high school. He goes to Faulkner High School.
2.  Isabel Pullman is the mother of August. She has been home schooling August for his whole life and now Isabel wants August to go to a public school to make friends.
POV: 1st person
Setting: Urban Setting and modern day setting. It is in August's house and in school. August is trying to make friends. Then when lunch began, August sat down by himself and a girl named Summer accompanied him. I predict they will build a strong relationship.
Interesting Noticing: Something I noticed that was interesting was that August has a facial medical deformity which is very rare. He calls it Treacher Collins syndrome. Even though people view him with this deformation on the face, people still make him feel like he is a normal person. He has met a girl named Summer and I predict they will become boyfriend and girlfriend. He has been attached to her ever since she sat with him during lunch.

Signpost: Again & Again

Excerpt:
1. "It looks like an old shotgun shell, said Squid." (62)
2. " Stanley's large hand closed around the tube." (62)
3."He could see an outline of a heart, with the letters K B etched inside it." (61)

Reading Response: I think this phrase keeps on appearing throughout the story because this maybe a key factor of what Mr Sir and Mr Pedenski is looking for. Mr Pedenski and Mr Sir are asking all the campers to find anything that is interesting to important. This object might be taken to the Warden and maybe be very important to the story. I am very curious about what is the significance of the object. Since X-Ray said to Stanley give me a object you see while digging and also gave the object to X-Ray, I think Stanley will find a way to try and take the object to the warden to get a day off of digging.

Summary: Stanley is making many friends in Camp Green Lake. Although he does not like it there, he is making good friends. Stanley and the others do not get enough water and are mostly thirsty for the whole day.

Reading Response: When Stanley was making his hole and asked Zero a question, Zero did not respond. Zero is such a quiet character in the story. He usually finishes his hole first every time. As I continued reading Zero still does not talk and he is silent during most of the book. Also Zero does not have many friends. During this point of the book Zero is being anti-social because Stanley is in the Wreck Room where everybody is like Squid, Armpit, X-Ray, Caveman, and much more but, Zero is there but is not interacting with any of the campers.

Adventure Book Character Claim Post #2 due BOP 4/5

# data[].attributes.body
Current page #: 26
Character Name: Stanley Yelnats
Claim: Even though Stanley got accused of stealing shoes, he is actually innocent.
Evidence/Data:
1."Stanley was not a bad kid. He was innocent of the crime for which he was convicted." (7)
2. "The sneakers fell from the sky," he had told the judge. "One hit me on the head."
3.
Warrant: Even though Stanley got accused of stealing shoes, he is actually innocent. According to the text on page 7 it states "Stanley was not a bad kid. He was innocent of the crime in which he was convicted. This shows that Stanley did no steal the shoes. The reason why he went to Camp Green Lake is because his parents were poor and could not afford a lawyer. Therefore, there is no evidence to back him up. Another piece of evidence to back Stanley up that he was innocent was on page 24. The piece of evidence states "The sneakers fell from the sky," he had told the judge. "One hit me on the head." This shows that Stanley is telling the honest truth about what really happened. Although, Stanley told the truth the judge did not believe him. Because of his family not bringing a lawyer to court, it resulted Stanley Yelnats to go to Camp Green Lake or prison for 18 months.

Reading Rate: 50 pages per week
Current Page #:16
Main Character: Stanley Yelnats is a kid that got accused for stealing sneakers. Also his whole family is also cursed because of his great grandfather. Now their family is unlucky.
Secondary Character(s):
1. My first reaction when they first introduced Mr. Sir is that he is very bossy and mean. When they described Mr. Sir it sounded like he was also very vicious and is careless.
2.
POV: 3rd Person
Setting: Camp Green Lake is the setting. Camp Green Lake is a dried up lake which is now a desert. Stanley Yelnats had to decide either to go to. Either jail or Camp Green Lake. I infer that Stanley will not know what he will go through will this camp. From the information I have learned so far, Stanley will have to dig a hole each day 5 feet down, 5 feet across from each direction. Also Stanley will also encounter snakes and much more.
Interesting Noticing:  Something interesting I noticed during this part of the book is all of the warning that Mr. Sir keeps telling Stanley. Many people that are in the camp will have to be aware with their surroundings. Mr. Sir told Stanley to watch out for rattle snakes, scorpions and much more. But if you get attacked by the lizard you will die slow and painfully.

I did not enjoy the overall of this book. In my opinion, I did not like this book because it was not like a real book. Hitler's Daughter did not have a problem or solution. There was not that much action throughout the story. Even though they did not have any of these elements, the author gave a lot of description. I could imagine them talking about Hitler and I can imagine it in my mind and head

# data[].attributes.body
In the book there was a words of the wiser. Mark's mom was giving Mark advice by saying that you can't be to curious because if you are too curious that can be very dangerous. Also if you are to curious you might hear things that you should not hear

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised throughout the whole book Mark thought that Anna's story was true. I did not enjoy the book because it did not have any action, it was just about how Anna made up a story about Hitler's daughter named Heidi and how she survived with her dad being the dictator killing many people.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The main character in the book is named Mark. Mark is very curious and noisy. He wants to know all of the details about Hitler and Hitler's daughter named Heidi.
2. Secondary characters are important to the story. It is important to have minor characters because it was only about main characters the story would not be interesting. The secondary character in my story is named Anna. She is important to the story because she is the one that is telling Mark about the whole story about Hitler's daughter.
3.  There is no problem in the book. This book is about how Anna (friends with Mark) makes up a story about Hitler's daughter. The whole story was about Anna telling a story about Hitler's daughter to Mark.
4. The main character in my book can't resolve the problem because he is listening to the story that Anna is telling.
5. Something I like in this book is that Mark is a great character in the book. He is very imaginative.
6. Something I did not like in the story was that  the whole story was that Anna was telling Mark the whole story about "Heidi" Hitler's daughter.

# data[].attributes.body
Mark is a important character in the book Hitler's Daughter. He is important during the book because he is the main character and his family and friends help him along the way with asking questions and thoughts about dictators. Mark is a bold character

# data[].attributes.body
I do not agree with Mark in this part of the story. Mark says that Hitler's grandchildren when they grow up they will become evil. I do not agree with him. Just because one person in your family is bad does not mean that their whole family is bad.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Hitler's Daughter Frau Schmidt and Johannes were sent to a refugee camp and did not die during the holocaust. I am happy that Frau Schmidt and Johannes is sent to the refugee camp. I am happy that they went to a refugee camp because instead of them getting killed they found shelter where they can stay for now.

# data[].attributes.body
I am very sad and glum reading chapter 16. I am very glum because Heidi met new people and the new people and new new people's elder sister Helga got killed by the Russian soldiers. The boy and mom are also split up with their dad. But the boy still has hope that his dad will find him. This book reminds me of a video last year in language arts. In Mrs. Zazzara's class we watched a video about
Holocaust survivors and what they went through. A victim lost there whole family because of the crucial thing that the Nazis did to them.

# data[].attributes.body
There is another again and again in this book. Now Mark is asking and talking about how Hitler and his wife committed suicide so they do not get captured. Mark's dad and mom get annoyed and gets irritated by Mark because how curious he is. I connection I have to this is last year in social studies. In last years social studies we learned about the holocaust and a lot about Adolf Hitler and how he was a good man before he was the dictator of Nazi Germany. He was in the army. But, since other countries did not like he was doing and attacked Germany. That is why he committed suicide.

# data[].attributes.body
The book Hitler' Daughter reminds me of a movie I watched a few years ago. The movie was The Mocking Jay. It reminds me of the Mocking Jay because Katniss's sister died in the air raids like in the book. A family member named Frau Leib died from the air raids. And now Fraulin Gelber is very sad and miserable that a part of his family died from the air raids

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Hitler's Daughter, the text reminds me of a signed post. The signed post I recognize in this book is a again and again. Mark and his mom and his dad are having a conversation numerous times about Hitler. Mark is very curious about who Adolf Hitler is and what he did. Mark asks many questions about Hitler to his mom and dad. Also, now he is starting to talk about Pol Pot why both people (Hitler Pol Pot) did the horrific things that they did and keeps on asking do "Do they know that they are doing something bad?" So far in this book Mark's mom and dad are getting annoyed with all the questions Mark is throwing at them .

# data[].attributes.body
Mark reminds me of my friends. He reminds me of my friends because they are very curious and they always ask questions. For example if I tell a secret to 1 of my friend he tells someone then everybody starts asking what is it and won't stop asking until I tell. Mark will not stop annoying his dad until he gets what he wants like what some of my friends do to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Mark is very nosy and very curious about what Hitler did during the time period of the Holocaust and World War ll. He asked his dad many questions about what happened and asked if Mark was Hitler would you still love me and take care of me? This reminds me of the time when I asked my dad many questions about who is going to train me for basketball. My dad was only telling me minimal things. So I started to get nosy and curious like Mark.

1.Australia, Mark has been asking her mum many questions about Adolf Hitler and getting many answers from her mum.
2. The setting looks like they are in their car going somewhere. It feels very depressing hearing what Adolf Hitler did.
3. There are no differences of United States and Australia  so far reading my book.
