This is a draft from my book report, so writing might be a little dusty here and there. 😀 Enjoy!
Dear Diary,
This is my first day of writing, so I’ll introduce myself. My name is August Pullman and I’m like every normal kid. The only different thing about me is that I have facial deformity. I get stared at a lot. I get called a lot of names. I really hate myself. If you can’t tell, I’m being sarcastic btw. I always wish I were just normal. I’ve never been to school, until now. I can’t believe I’m actually agreeing to this…
- The School Hater
Dear Diary,
Today was my first day of school. I knew that this was a bad decision. All I do is get made fun of by Julian and all the other kids just stare. I bet even Summer is getting bribed by a teacher to hang out with me. I cut off my Padawan braid today. Maybe now Julian will stop teasing me and other kids will stop laughing. But I know that I’ll always be ugly and I can’t change that. The only positive thing about today was English class and even that can’t cheer me up. I only have one thing to say, “I hate school.”
-August (the one who hates school)
Dear Diary,
Today was my Birthday Party. I invited the whole school, even Julian. And guess what? Only a few people came. I’m still pretty sad, but on the bright side I had a great birthday. Even Christopher came from Bridgeport! I went to the bowling alley and I saw the adult next to me while I was bowling, so it felt like I had a lot of guests. Tomorrow’s Halloween and I can’t wait! It’s one of my most favorite holidays and I’m wearing my Boba Fett costume that my mom made. I’ll tell you what happens on Halloween, so until next time!
-August (aka Boba Fett)
Dear Diary,
Today was the worst. day. ever. Not only did I find out something devastating, I’m also missing Halloween this very moment. It turns out that Jack was fake the whole time. I heard what he said and clearly. Rat boy, Freak, Monster, all these names people called me. Jack doesn’t want to hang out with me, he was just another fake person who was forced to hang out with me and worst of all, he doesn’t even like hanging out with me. I have nothing left to say besides that today was the worst day ever.
- Rat Boy (aka me)
Dear Diary,
Today, I’m deciding that I’m not going to school anymore. I’m tired of people avoiding me, calling me names, and more than I can explain. I’m not that kind of person who gives up, I just can’t handle the harsh words in the school. Via kept bugging me and persuading me to go and get up, so I had no choice. I guess I’m heading back to the school of horror.
-A Person Who Doesn’t Want To Go To School
Dear Diary,
Sorry, I haven’t been writing a lot recently. It turns out that Jack only said that he didn’t want to hang out with me because he wanted to act cool. I mean, I don’t blame him. Even more surprisingly, he actually punched Juliian. He knocked his tooth out! Today was the science fair. It went pretty well actually. I made a Spud Lamp with Jack and we both got A’s. Then, we went to the gym and gathered all our science projects on different tables. And since everyone’s parent’s came, I knew that everyone would be staring at me. I was kinda nervous but I was soon focused on my mom and dad talking to Jack’s parents. It’s kinda funny how parent’s form groups just like we kids do, huh?
-The One Who Got a A On A Science Project
Dear Diary,
Today I got hearing aids. I thought it was going to be the worst thing ever. After all, I have been dreading them since the doctor told me I’d be getting them sooner or later. I just never expected to get them today. After I put them on though, it was magic. The white noises were gone. Gone! I can’t believe that one little thing can fix this! I wish I could’ve gotten them sooner. And best of all, no one stared at me when I got to school! Now I don’t even mind the tubing that sticks out!
- The Boy Who Just Got Hearing Aids (and loves them)
Dear Diary,
Right now, I’m SUPER angry. I know Via’s in a play, I heard my mom yesterday yelling at Via for not telling her. And now, Via and Mom doesn’t want me to go! And I know for sure that VIa doesn’t want me to come because she doesn’t want anyone to know she has a monster brother. The only weird thing is that, mom’s not coming to my room…..oh and Via just burst in the room…Daisy needs to go to the hospital? Oh my god, I gotta go.
-can’t finish
Dear Diary,
Today, my little girlie, Daisy, died. Via told me that she just started to whimper all of a sudden and bit mom. Daisy never bites anyone. We went to the hospital and it turns out that Daisy has a huge mass in her stomach. We had to put her down. Everyone’s crying right now and I’m the only one in my room. No Daisy. No cuddles. Nothing.
-The Boy Who Lost His Little Dog Daisy
Dear Diary,
It’s the next day, and I just got home from Via’s play. It was so cool! Not only was Via the star of the show, she was the lead! I also saw Miranda there. I’ve known Miranda for a long time and she’s always been a sister to me. I haven’t seen her for a long time, mostly because Via and Miranda aren’t as close anymore.
-the Brother Of A Lead Sister!
Dear Diary,
Today is my first time away from home and I’m going to the Broarwood Nature Reserve. I’m really nervous, but excited at the same time. I’m not going to bring you, Diary, because I’m afraid someone will find this. I can’t wait to bring back more memories from camp. See you in 3 days!
-The Boy Whos Going Away For 3 Days
Dear Diary,
I just came back from the camping trip. It was interesting all right. Me, Jack, and some other friends went to go in the woods, and saw some teengers. Then they started saying some bad words, bad ones alright. Right when we were about to run, the teenagers started to tug our sweaters. Luckily, my sweater ripped so I was able to fling for my life. Everything was fine, until Jack pointed out that my hearing aids weren’t on my ears. Those are really expensive, you know. I couldn’t imagine what my dad and mom would say. Luckily, they weren’t that mad. Mom just asked a lot of questions, too much actually. I spent the rest of the day with Via, so it was pretty fun. OH, and how could i FORGET. Dad brought home a dog! It’s a boy and is black! We named it Bear! Oh, and I have school tomorrow, so I gotta go to sleep.
- August (the happy one)
Dear Diary,
Today is the day of graduation. I can’t believe it’s already been a year! Right now, my dad’s doing my hair. It looks… really puffy. And what?….my dad was the one who threw out my space helmet?! I loved that thing! Oh, now it’s time to go to graduation. Wish me luck!
-The Boy WIth Puffy Hair
Dear Diary,
It’s the same day, just at night. I can’t believe I got an award at the graduation ceremony! It felt really good to stand in front of the crowd and receive an award.And best of all, the award was about me. An award for being me. I’ll take that any day. Afterwards, we took pictures and my mom was getting really emotional. In fact, she was actually crying. The one sentence she told me though, was the most inspirational words I’ve heard in my life. “You really are a wonder, Auggie. You are a wonder.”
