In reading these last couple of chapters, I was somewhat shocked to hear what Jack Will had to say. Through out the book, I had the feeling that he was the one person that was on Augie's side.
I was surprised that Augie would eaves drop on the conversation between them though. But it did give him the opportunity to hear the talking without them know it was really him.
I was heart broken when I heard what they had to say. No one should have to go through that in their life no matter what they look like or how they act. People should be able to live a normal life. They don't have control over how they look, what they say, etc.
I am wondering what will happen in the next few chapters. Augie has kept to himself since he has been home. What is going to go on? I'm expecting a lot of different responses to this post!
i think August should tell his parents because then mabey he could quit school. I don't know why jack will would do that I I was not happy. I didn't think it was jack will at all I thought they were real friends.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about telling his parents. I think that if he tells them, they will go to school and try to get the boys in trouble and it will only make things worse for him. Keep that in mind.
DeleteGood idea. Maybe he should. But then it will like he is almost giving up on himself. He has to make a stand and support himself.
Deleteo ya and that would be really bad because then he would have no friends and that would be so sad mabey summer will still be though.
DeleteI have mixed feelings about telling his parents. I do and I dont
DeleteI think so to Liddy the other boys would think hes a tateltal
DeleteThat really surprised me too, now no really sticks up for Augie, I wonder what he will do and how he will get past some of these school days. I think that Augie is tougher than he looks though, and that someone will stick up for him eventually.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone does. Maybe Summer (the girl that sits with him at lunch)? I also hope he sticks up for himself at some point.
DeleteI guess Jack will kind of betrayed my trust so I can't even trust teachers now. I know it sounds stupid, but I guess at the beginning you just kind of really like Jack Will. That's just to bad.......
DeleteWith all this stuff happening to him at school, I think Augie will eventually stick up for himself because all this mean stuff people are saying really angers me but also in a way it is sort of making him tougher .
DeleteI can't believe that jack would do that thing I thought jack will really liked him and were friends but liked jack will a lot
ReplyDeleteI used to like jack will but now I don't do you mean you still like him nick.
DeleteI hope he goes up to Jack Will and tell him what he heard. I feel REALLY bad about how he heard about it. I am really mad! So Augie looks a little different, WHO CARES! That shouldn’t make a difference at ALL.
ReplyDeleteI agree who cares how some people look like but i'm upset too and I did think that they would be best friends
DeleteI actually thought that Jack Will was actually his friend! Now he’s almost as bad as Julian! And to think, I actually thought that Jack Will was his friend. Now I’m getting a bit suspicious about Summer…….. is she really Augie’s friend or was she another person forced to hang out with him by Mr. Tushman.
ReplyDeleteI don't think summer would be someone assigned to Augie because she was someone unlike Jack will or Julian because she was someone he actually met separately instead of being assigned like Julian or Jack will.
DeleteI think she is an actual friend. Well, I don't know. I thought Will was his friend and obviously that didn't turn out well!
DeleteI think Summer is a real friend she seems like she is any way I wonder if augie will go back to schhol because he rembered summer.
DeleteThat's true she came separately but Jack and Julian gave the tour remember.
DeleteReally makes me wonder now that you put this about Summer! I hope she isn't like that. There has to be someone who does something for him!
DeleteI hope Auggie can hook up with Summer!
DeleteSame here, after all she is the only friend of his this story would really get good if that happens.
DeleteI feel bad for Augie because the only person in school that will hang out with him say he would kill himself if he look like that. I would so tell my parent and let them help me and not go back to school.
ReplyDeletedon't forget about summer laurel
DeleteYa Tyler is right I think summer will keep on being his friend.
DeleteI think August should tell his parents because Jack will was a nice friend now that August heard what Jack will said. I don't think Jack is going to be Augusts friend because Jack said if I look like August I would kill my self. If I was August I wouldn't be Jacks friend any more because he said if I look like August I would kill my self. I don't think that is nice to say because August and Jack were good friends.
ReplyDeleteI can’t believe what Jack Will said that about Augie. I thought that Jack Will was his friend but I guess not. Maybe Jack Will is just doing what the principle told him to do.
ReplyDeleteYa I cant believe Jack said that about Augie I don't think it was nice.
DeleteI thought that jack will was going to be a good friend to August but after we read that I that was riley hard on August.
ReplyDeleteI think it was not nice to jack will to say that. I thought they were friends. Maybe he said that because jack was by his friends that he didn’t want to say he liked him.
ReplyDeleteI am shocked that Jack Will said that he would kill himself if he look like that and he's just hanging out with him because Mr.Tushmen said he had to hang out with him. When we first started the chapter about Halloween I liked it that they got to dress and everybody treated him like a normal kid like they should but they don’t. I think Auggie liked it too! I have mixed feelings about if he should tell his mom and dad. I feel very heartbroken for Auggie. I always thought that Jack Will was a good person to Auggie and to everyone else. i don’t what it would feel like to be treated like that.
ReplyDeleteI thought Julian was the only jerk in the book but I guess there is more than one! I am just SO shocked!
DeleteI agree! I don't know what I would feel either if I was treated that way! He's been through this his whole life and is somewhat used to people saying these things, but for someone who he thought was his friend is really harsh!
DeleteI can feel how auggie feels I've been there a couple of times in my life
DeleteI agree with you Taylor I was happy that he got to dress up for Halloween but then again I don't like how he heard that Jack Will would kill himself if he looked like Auggie. it makes me really mad that he would do that.
DeleteI think that Augie will never forgive Jack Will. I mean what kind of friend would turn his back on him just to fit in with the popular kids. It makes me so mad!!! I always thought him and Jack would be good friends throughout the book. Now I think I can only trust Charlotte and I don’t think she is the greatest friend either. I wonder if Augie will tell his parents and maybe not go to school any more or if he does keep going to school will he lay low or try and make new friends. I think he should not go to school anymore because he will just get picked on even more.
ReplyDeleteI think I might be wrong but, I think maybe Jack Wil might just be trying to act cool in front of his friends so people don't avoid him to like August is. Jack Wil hopefully didn't know that August was listening to his comment about him but, still I think that Jack wil is a huge JERK for even thinking that even if he thought that is true or not.
ReplyDeleteHe might be, but the way he said it was so mean. I cant get it out of my mind! I don't believe it!
DeleteI've wondered this as well. There is a great story called 11 Birthdays where this same sort of thing happens. I'm hoping this is true and he isn't a bad person, but even if it is, can Augie really trust him ever again?
DeleteAlso, what about the break downs Via has been having? Are they just about TEEN things, or are they having anything to do with Augie. Maybe, I just don't know. I mean, she's a teenager and stuff and teens are hard to understand..........
ReplyDeleteI thought that jack was too hard on August. I was thinking jack was his best friend and would stand up for him if he was getting bullied but, he was talking about how he was different from them
