Via and Auggie having the chances of getting kids like Auggie. In this part it tells the same days Auggie is having in part one, but the way she is seeing and living the days. In the first chapter of the second part, Via tells us that Auggie is the center of attention. The way Via decribes this by saying, “August is the Sun. Me, Mom, and Dad are planets orbiting the Sun. The rest of our family and friends are asteroid and comets floating around the planets orbiting the Sun.” (page 82). When Via…
