In Science When me and August were still friends I was doing okay in sicence because August sat next to me and always let me copy his notes. August has the neatest handwriting of anybody I've ever seen who's a boy. Even his script is neat up and down perfectly, with really small round loopy letters. But now that we're ex-friends it's bad because I can't ask him to let me copy his notes anymore. ..

Ex-Friends I actually liked hanging out with August. So this is kind of messed up. And it's all August's fault. 난 사실 어거스트랑 노는 게 좋다. 그래서 이건 좀 엉망진창이다. 그리고 전부 어거스트 잘못이다. Snow And when that happens on a school day and you find out your school is closed. well, I don't care how old I get I'm always going to think that that's the best feeling in the world. And I'm never going to be one of those grown-u..

Carvel "Jack, sometimes you don't have to mean to hurt someone to hurt someone. You understand?" "잭, 가끔은 네가 누군가에게 상처 주려고 한 것이 아니었는데 누군가는 상처에겐 상처가 돼. 무슨 말인지 알지?" But it's hard. It's hard not to sneck a second look. It's hard to act normal when you see him. 그러나 그건 힘들다. 훔쳐보지 않는 것은 어렵지 않지만 그를 볼 때 평범한 척 행동하는 것은 어렵다. Why I Changed My Mind "Of course she is. Charlotte's such a Goody Two-Shoes." 물론 그녀도,..

The Plague I do admit August's face takes some getting used to. I've been sitting with him for two weeks now and let's just say he's not the neatest eater in the world. But other than thay he's pretty nice. I should also say that I don't really feel sorry for him anymore. That might have been what made me sit down with him the first time, but it's not why I keep sitting down with him. I keep sit..

Time to Think he was still determined not to go back to school. 그는 여전히 학교로 돌아가지 않겠다고 결심했다. "But you've never been the kind of kid who quits things, " I said truthfully. "That's not like you." "I'm quitting." "하지만 넌 그런 일로 그만두는 애가 아니었어" 나는 솔직하게 말했다. "이건 너 답지 않아" "그만둘 거야" "Auggie, " I said. "Are you really going to let a couple of stupid kids keep you from going back to school? I know you've been e..

Out with the Old After a week of painful lunches where all they would do was talk about people that didn't interest me, I decide to make a clean break for it. they asked no questions. I told no lies. We just went our separate ways. 그들과 고통스러운 점심을 일주일 보내 동안 그들이 이야기하는 사람은 내가 관심이 없었다. 나는 깨끗하게 헤어지기로 결정했다. 그들은 나에게 묻지 않았고, 난 거짓말을 하지 않았다. 우리는 각자가 원하는 길로 가기로 했다. October 31 Then he went to his bed and pul..

Genetics 101 Isabel and Nate : like two peas in a pod. 이사벨과 네이트는 콩깍지 속의 콩 두 개 같다. (= 똑 닮았다. 판박이, 붕어빵) In August's case, the doctors were able to identify one of the "single nucleotide deletion mutations" that made war on his face. The weird thing is, though you'd never know it from looking at them: both my parents carry that mutant gene. And I carry it, too. August의 경우, 의사들은 "단일 뉴클레오티드 삭제 돌연변이" ..

August Through the Peephole These are considered miracles. When he was a baby, the doctors didn't think he'd live. 이건 기적이다. 그가 아기일 때 의사들은 그가 살지 못할 거라고 생각했다. Via가 바라본 August의 태어나서부터 수술하면서 눈, 코, 입 이목구비의 변화까지 기억하고 있는 내용을 상세하게 설명해주었다. High School What I always loved most about middle school was that it was separate and different from home. I could go there and be Olivia Pullman-not Via, which is my ..

Before August I honestly don't remember my life before August came into it. I look at pictures of me as a baby, and I see Mom and Dad smiling so happily, holding me. I can't believe how much younger they looked back then: Dad was this hipster dude and Mom was this cute Brazilian fashionista. 나는 내 인생에 August가 오기 전이 사실 잘 기억나지 않는다. 내가 어릴 때 사진으로 엄마와 아빠가 행복하게 웃고 있고, 거기 내가 있었다. 그 당시 그들이 얼마나 어렸는지 믿을 수 ..

블랙홀로 사라지고 싶다고 했던 Auggie 그 후 어떻게 되었을까요? Names I nodded and mumbled “Thank you.” Mom and I hugwalked the whole way home. I didn’t tell her anything about what had happened, and later when she asked me if I felt well enough to go trick-or-treating after school, I said no. This worried her, since she knew how much I usually loved trick-or-treating. 나는 고개 끄덕이며 우물거렸다. “고마워요.” 엄마와 나는 부둥켜안고 집까지 걸어왔다. 나는..
