Diary Entry 47: 9-24-20: I`ve just started middle school without Julian that jerkbag. Julian was my main problem in school but now that
he is`nt here and people don`t make fun of me anymore, I actually really like school. 5th grade was tough though, since everybody looked
at me like I was a monster and clearly wanted to get away from me, I mean they made something called the plauge about me! But well not
anymore! Just thinking how stuff was before, is kinda funny. I mean, I was babish and very self consious about my face, I mean who would`nt
be? But well, im still pretty self consious about my face, but the face made me pretty much famous, so im still happy about my face and
besides, its unique ya know? Well baaack back like start of 5th grade everyone, and I mean everyone was shocked when they saw me, disgusted
and well, that`s why im happy to be besties with Summer and Jack (I cant stop thinking about how Jack has a crush on Summer, it cracks me up everytime I think about it!) Diary entry 47: 9-25-20:

ayo u can just not listen like maybe take off your hearing aids too not hear them. and u cn just com 2 us i mean like we r still going 2 ur school so wat is da real probloem u still have us. we r still going 2 ur school like its not like we r`nt ever at school. just fell like urself i mean honesly i dont know how 2 help u besides say be urself. ill get summer 2 text her thoughts on how 2 get ovr it. Hi August! I think you should act yourself like Jack said but you should also just open up, like when we are at school just talk about it and i bet you will feel better. I mean we can`t be the only reason that you weren`t bothered at anyone calling you freak, or whispering about you behind your back. Maybe try to get therapy? Or talk about it with your family you know? You have family, Bear, us, alot of people. That`s all I got.
This is a astronaut helmet. This resembles the astronaut helmet that August Pullman uses in this book. August used to wear it all the time when he was young, until his dad threw it out. When August found out that his dad threw it out, he was really angry, but he almost immediately forgave him. He was given it by Miranda, his almost step sister but technically just his best friend. That`s the astronaut helmet that Miranda gave him.
I think these are August Pullman`s hearing aids. He got them after countless attempt at his parents telling him he needs them. August still thought he didn`t need hearing aids he got them, and was mind blown. He could hear almost perfect now, and the underwater sounds are very shallow, he can barely hear them. He had to get special ones though because he has practically no ears. He lost them on a movie night from a school event of like a campsite place and got new ones.
This is August with a family representing August`s family, I couldn`t find his family so I had to improvise. August`s family kind of treated him like a baby because he was scared of people looking at him, or I should say August`s parents were. So they almost always let him back out, make choices, and get him stuff because they wanted him happy but knew he couldn`t play outside because people would look disgusted and terrified of his face. Sooner or later August had enough but they accepted it. They spoiled him, never punished him, and made feel happy all the time.
This is August and Jack will at Breecher prep high school, or at least it is in the movie "Wonder' based off August, but i`ll be talking about Jack Will. Jack Will is August`s best friend, along with Summer. August and him met before the year started when Mr. Tushman asked some students to be nice to him which he was and genuinely his friend, unlike Julian which i`ll go over later. August went through a phase with him where August thought he was his friend only because Mr. Tushman said to be, which wasn`t true. He overheard Jack and Julian talking about him in a bad
way which made August think that Jack is a fake friend. They of course, made up and are best friends again.
JOURNAL ENTRY
This is Julian Albans from the movie "Wonder". He was August`s bully. He was also called by Mr. Tushman to meet him and greet him, show him around the place, but he was mean unlike Jack. He asked if he was in a burn accident and started bullying him like putting notes in/on his locker and calling him names. August didn`t mind after a little bit of time. He tried to get him out of the school, but failed. He essentially the antagonist of the story.
This is August`s dog Daisy, who isn`t here anymore. She was the only person he knew besides his family that didn`t care about his face at all. She was like August`s mood upper. She died near the end of the story, and was heartbreaking to August, because he cared about her so much. Daisy was the only person August knew besides his family that would hug, kiss, and place above almost all else.

Man this year was full of surprises! I did all kind stuff, my life practically changed in one year. Like I went to a new school, made new friends, and got people to not be disgusted at me, for a little bit... Well, at least im not a crybaby anymore. So essentially I wanna tell myself all that`s happened so... yeah. It started with my mom signing me into a school. I didn`t wanna go because I knew people would make fun of my face, or at least make that disgusted look. But i went to see if it was worth it and I met Mr. Tushman and got a tour around the school. The school was really big, like it had a bunch of rooms and there was three floors! Julian asked if I was in a burn accident, which was very rude, but you know him, he`s a jerkbag. So were done with the tour, im a little bit mad and sad because Julian was very mean to me. You know what? Let me just explain the major things that happened this year. So I start school, and of course im already an outcast. But im getting good grades so that`s cool. It`s pretty boring until Halloween. I was gonna dress up as Boba Fett, but I went as bleeding scream because dad was getting really impatient with me. And I overhear Jack and Julian talking to each other. About me, and how Julian`s costume Darth Sidious` face kinda looks like mine. My self esteem and friendship with Jack shatter. After school I just go to bed and cry. I was so mad that Jack said that about me, and I genuinely thought that Jack was only friends with me because Mr. Tushman said to be. Then we made up once Jack realized what he said and asked me to forgive him, and I did. Skip to when Jack punched Julian in the face. This was when Jack realized what he said about me. He was so infuriated with Julian. He just came up to him and punched him in the face! He got sent to the principals office, and Mr. Tushman told him to explain himself. Jack tried to explain but he broke into tears before he could. After that is when made up with me and we became friends again. Now lets go to when Me, Jack, and my family meet Justin, Via`s new boyfriend. There`s really not much to explain here but he was really cool. He had like tics and a fiddle. He was nice and tried to pretend like he didn`t notice my face, notice how I said tried. That`s it for that so lets go to when I got hearing aids. Ohhh boy did I NOT want to get them. Feels stupid now because I hear SO much better now. I essentially flunked my hearing test and needed to get hearing aids. The hearing aids looked kinda wack but I can hear better now so im ok with it. So onto when Dai...sy d-died... She was getting really sick and I didn`t notice because I never knew how to tell. It was unexpected because I got mad at my family right before it. My family and I said our goodbyes and when our parents left, me and Via immediately started sobbing like crazy. I think that`s enough let go onto the school play. Via got Miranda`s role as Emily, and she did awesome. I got lost and ended up bumping into Miranda. She looked completely different, she had pink hair! Essentially she had changed and wasn`t really friends with Via anymore. Now onto the campsite event. Oh boy.. this was awesome. Im just gonna explain the movie night though. So it`s movie night, and Jack has to pee right, but the bathroom line is too long, so we pee in the woods with the trees past where were supposed to be. And we meet these 6th-7th graders, who are absolute jerks. We get into a fight, Jack stands up for me, I stand up for myself, and we get beat up for like a few seconds. We run so fast, but I lost my hearing aids on the way, which sucked. And that`s when I started being treated like a normal person. Yeah yeah, now onto the graduation, the last part of this story. The graduation was mainly just Mr. Tushman talking about boring stuff, but it was really cool because I have never been at a graduation thing because i`ve always been home schooled. I got the Henry Ward Beecher Prep medal so that`s awesome. Afterwards I got ice cream with my bestfriends and got told by my mom "Thank you Auggie for everything you`ve given us. For coming into our lives. For being you. You really are a wonder, Auggie. You are a wonder." This was maybe the best year of my life, gained new bestfriends, i`ve matured alot, and i`ve come alot more happy about my face, or I should say, come to terms with it more. Journal Entry 10-2-20
