Via is a caring sister because she helps her mom and her brother August when he is sick. Her friends are nice to August and sometimes worried about August if he sick, or like hyper because they encourage him when he walks or talks to August. Via is REALLY helpful is because she is worried about August if there is a problem with him. She is jealous about August because mom never makes Via's costumes and mom couldn't find a Star Wars costume and mom looked on eBay and only found ones that were not in stock, so she made one for August. Via is talkative because she talks all the time. Plus when August was a baby, August was in and out of the hospital and Via was taking care of him. Via is sometimes worried if he's okay and he says he is fine but he is not.

What I think Via is a wonderful character because she has great vocabulary. She can use words I can't say. She gives great examples. I do sympathize for Via because in the book she stayed at home because of Miranda and Ella being jerks. Then her mom has to go pick up Auggie from school for a stomach ache, but Auggie never had a stomach ache. Via is the older one but she is on the back burner of her parents mind if you would say. When they are one on one with her they turn into Via's parents. On page 115 she finds out why Auggie really left school. He really didn't have a stomach ache. He over heard some kids at school talking bad about him. Via was worried about Auggie. Anyways I do really sympathize for her because she is the oldest child. She needs some attention from her parents. I think she feels left out because her mom and dad are paying more attention to Auggie.

Via as a character is a good sister. She's good with August, she cares about August. I think she is jealous that her mom and dad like August more. She likes August a lot she's always worried about August. Via I think is always happy, she's always calm, she likes everyone, she likes to be better than everyone but she always can't because of August. She thinks good about herself, and August, and her friends, and her parents. I think her grandma's death was very hard on her because, she said she liked him more than August which was the only person that liked Via more than August. Via doesn't get mad ever at August he's feels really bad for him when she's sick or has to go get surgery. I think Via likes August more than her mom and dad, and likes August very much almost more than anyone.

I think Via's character is jealous of August because of her parents are giving more attention to August that is the 10 year old little brother that has a birth defect and has gone through a lot of surgery's through his life time. He's never been to school and he's always been home schooled by his mom. When he goes to school there's these people who he thought were his best friends, but they aren't. Via the older sister tries to step in and help out like August gets sick and fakes it so he don't have to go back to school. Via knows why but her brother wants to stay home but she helps and keeps the secret about all the kid at Augusts school. Via has troubles with her friends but she still helps out August with his problems and his friendships. But she gets upset when her mom and Dad gives more attention to August.

I think Via is a jealous, stubborn, unpatient little brat that wants attention, but know one will give it to her. The only person that gives her what she wants was her grandma that had died. (But just two months after I stayed with her in Montauk, my beautiful Grans died).(pg 86 authors name is Palacio).

Via is a good sister because she is caring to August, her mom and dad. I wish Via was my sister and not fight with me like my sister Riley. We fight a lot and August and Via don't fight at all. Via is really helpful to August because she is nice to him. She asked August how school was and asked him why he wore his bleeding scream costume and didn't wear his Boba Fett costume. Via talks a lot in part two of Via, and August kinda talks a lot in the book. Via talks about her friends, August and her grandma. Via talks about her friends and how they have changed over the summer and she doesn't talk to them anymore. Via came back from school and Via's friend, Miranda had called August to said "Hi" to August and see how was. I like how Via said "What?" That was my favorite part in the book.

Via is nice. August is the sun. Via, mom and dad are planets orbiting the sun (Page 82). " I love Auggie very, very much," she said softly( Page 89). Via was what they called me in elementary school( Page 91) At lunch Via and her three friends sat together( Page 94). Via had forgotten that mom had called Miranda's mother the night before to ask if she could drive me home from school. " You don't have to, " I answered instinctively,casually. " My mom can pick me up." It turns out she can pick me up afterward( Page 95). Via got up middle of the night because she was thirsty, and she saw mom standing outside of Auggie's room. (Page 95). " Can you pick me up from school today?" She said the next morning, smearing some cream cheese on her bagel. Now that she was in high school, the new school routine was going to be that Dad and Via would take the subway together in the morning, which meant his having to leave fifteen minutes early( Page 100).

Via is a good older sister, she never gets mad at Aggie. The only reason I like Via, she never takes ''life for granted'' but she is not self centered Aggie Is like a fly some times he always flows her a round. The other thing I like about Via is that she can be like so sad,hurt and beating down but she still looks like she is having the best day ever. Via is like a tough ball of spunk that is why I feel for her. One more reason I like Via so much better than Aggie is because she takes her own path in life not like she is crazy or any thing like that. But she is so easy to get a long with because she is so lonely she is always looking for a new friend. She is so nice to any one she knows.
