August did not let the bullies get to him even though no matter what people said to August and what they did to him he was not worried about being himself. He still continued to do good in school and ever since the bullies keep bullying him, he still won the science fair and worked hard and continued to tell his parents what was on his mind. He kept being normal.

August is loyal to his friends even when the seventh grade bullies pushed his friend Jack and beat him up so August stood up for himself and Jack. He tried to defend Jack and himself from the bully even though he knew the bully was much bigger and taller than him. He did not care no matter what, he stood up for Jack then even when Jack betrayed him and was saying mean stuff behind his back. When Jack apologized August accepted it and was still nice to him and friendly to him and when Jack was having trouble on the test August let Jack copy a few questions. He was willing to help Jack no matter the consequences.

August is courageous when he was given an award he was proud and he was not afraid of going up on to that stage and accepting that award even though he looks different. He was fearless and that takes a lot of courage to go up onto the stage and take that award. Even when his dog died he was sad but then he overcame that obstacle. He was still sad but kept on going and moving forward and on the first day of school he took off his helmet that covered his face and walked into school even though he looked different from everyone and he pulled through it.

August Pullman has everything it takes, he is courageous and he is loyal to Jack no matter the consequences. Even when he knew he was going to get into trouble he still helped Jack. If he is brave enough to go onto stage, and stand up for his friends. Then nothing can bring August Pullman down.

Dally should win this award because he is a dynamic character, he isn’t a static character, and he was a big part in the story progressing.  Dally is the best because he is a dynamic character, He started as one of the toughest people but then developed into a character that had more emotions.  Dally wasn't a static character, Dally was once one of those charters that didn’t care he wanted to get in trouble but when Johnny was about to die Dally was at an all time low and you could tell that he had a heart.  Dally helped the story progress because he was always ready to help with everything.   Dally may not have been a main character but he was always there to help everybody and was one of the best friends to everybody.  Dally should win this award because the other nominees faked being friends and lied about broken wings where Dally never did any of that stuff he was a true loyal and truth teller friend.

The novel The Giver is the best book. It shows us that we should embrace our differences, it has unique relationships, and realize how lucky we are to make choices. Most importantly, this story shows us that we should embrace our differences instead of trying to hide them. Most people try to hide their differences because they are embarrassed or maybe they just don’t want to be different. But our differences is what makes us our own person. Without our differences everything would be boring and much like Jonas’ community; sameness. Also, the relationships in this book between some characters like Jonas, and The Giver, are unique from characters in other books.The relationship between The Giver and Jonas is special because it is like no other. Jonas and The Giver are the only ones in the community to have memories. This is important because they go through emotions like, sadness, pain, happiness and more, with each other when they didn’t have anyone else. Lastly, this novel proves that we are lucky we are able to make our own choices, and not take things for granted. Some people can’t make their own choices, and are forced to do things everyday whether they want to or not. Sometimes we take how lucky we are for granted, to have the freedom that we do.This story shows us that we should embrace our differences. Now, as you know, there are other choices for Best Novel. But, the novel The Giver is by far the best because it teaches you many valued things. 

The novel Wonder, by R.J Palacio, is the best and greatest novel, and deserves to win the Bahny awards. The Novel Wonder, is about a boy, August, who starts to find his voice in a new school who is not to fond of his conditions and health problems he has that he has. But, as the story goes on, people realize how cool August, the main character, really is. The book Wonder is the best book because it has many inspiring characters that keep the story fresh and interesting, it makes people aware, that in life, some people are different, but that it is acceptable in this society, and teaches and inspires people to be brave. To begin, this book has many inspiring characters that are developed and interesting. A book without deep, developed, and carefully thought out characters is a book that is dull, lifeless, and a novel none would care to read and enjoy. However, Wonder is not like what has been described. It has many characters with deep backstories, and, even better, it has characters that develop over the story that are dynamic and interesting to pay attention to. Another reason Wonder deserves to win is because this novel makes people aware of how, in their lives, they meet people that are different from them. This novel promotes how diversity is a good thing, and when a novel promotes a positive message, it helps other people be positive and accept other people and, in this book’s case, their differences. This is another reason why Wonder is the best novel; It promotes positive ideas and helps people with being nice to different people. But the most significant reason Wonder deserves to win is because it teaches and inspires bravery to people who read this book. Some people need help with their self-esteem and speaking up for themselves. This book teaches that, to get anywhere in life, you need to be brave, and one of the most likely reasons that R.J Palacio wrote this book is to inspire people to be brave and, even when things don't go your way, just keep on fighting for what you want in life. This book can, and probably will, inspire shy people, to be brave. To recap, The Novel Wonder deserves to win the Bahny award for best novel because it has deep, developed characters that keep everything interesting, it promotes how diversity is a good thing, and it teaches people to be brave and stand up for themselves. There are many other books and novels in this category, but Wonder is the best, most unique, and overall best book in this category, and this is why Wonder deserves to win the Bahny awards the most.

Another example is that Nagaina is an extremely powerful woman. Nagaina isn’t like other woman such as Cherry Valance, Mrs Luella Bates and Olivia Pullman, Nagaina is a powerful woman with plans to rule people with order and be Queen of the garden. The other woman all want to teach people lessons but Nagaina is about order and power. Nagaina is an important role in this novel for many reasons. She is an important character because she is the one that causes chaos and fear to all in the garden. She is the one that wants to kill Teddy and his whole family along with her rival Rikki-Tikki the menace that killed her husband. As you can see Nagiana is a female leader,a smart mind and a strong and powerful women. It is obvious that Nagiana the most powerful and superior women then all.

Lily is the Best Literary Citizen because she describes the age ceremonies, describes the family’s/community’s routines, and shows how important bikes are in the community. Lily describes the age ceremonies. It helps the reader understand how people dress at each age all the way to the age of twelve. (For example, younger kids wear bows in their hair/tunics for older kids.) Also, Lily shows what the routines are like for a child in the community. She shows in a better way how the family operates at night and morning.(She explains how everyone goes to bed at certain times/The part when the mom and dad tell Lily that it’s time to get ready for bedtime.) Without Lily in the book they would not have said that. Alongside that, she shows how important bikes are in the community. She talks about how her and her other friends are excited to get a bike and some of the kids secretly train on how to ride the bike including Lily with Jonas.  Still acknowledging that other characters supported the storyline of other books, Lily is the best supporting character because she shows the reader small details that piece together the community and how it works/acts. 

This book proves to be a good read because it shows examples of the importance of family, and teaches you not to judge someone by how they look or how they are raised; it also points out that you don’t have to share the same blood to be considered family.

The book shows the importance of family and for most of us, our family is what makes us who we are; and at the least most of us need our family to get through the tough times of our lives.

The greasers stick together in this book, no matter what happens. 

This book teaches you not to judge someone based on how they look or by their upbringing.

Even though, most people looking at Johnny and Ponyboy, would assume that they are bad kids, were proven wrong when they selflessly put themselves on the line to save the kids that were trapped in the burning church.

This book is a great novel, especially for those who can relate, because it points out facts that prove that it isn’t necessarily blood that makes you family.

Each of the members of the greasers treats each other like brothers and when Johnny dies they mourn like they have lost one of their own brothers.

In conclusion, this book is the best of all the contenders because it shows you don't have to be related to love someone like a brother or sister

When he bumps in to the guy in the hallway the guy freaks out  and him and his friend just laughs. So Jack will is the best character because his a good friend, helps when needed and does not care that his face is different.
