Wednesday September 22, Reading Log #2, Topic Choice #3 - Plot

Auggie (August), has been home schooled until now in which he's entering middle school. Auggie is scared and nervous because he's never actually been to a real school before like his older sister, Via. He tries to avoid talking about going to a regular school most of the time with other questions.  Although he is overwhelmed about the idea, he's also shy because he's meeting new people for the first time. For Auggie it is also kind of difficult since he's so used to being home schooled. "I would have been more nervous about meeting Mr. Tushman if I'd known I was also going to be meeting some kids from the new school." (page 18) This demonstrates Auggie feeling nervous about meeting the principle. "  ""I don't want to," I said. I admit: I made my voice sound a little babyish."  This demonstrates Auggie avoiding going to a school by telling his parents that he doesn't want to.
