Wonder Questions - English - Justin

Why was Justin nervous when he was going to meet Olivia's parents? How did it show? How did it work out?

He is nervous because it's his first time meeting Olivia's parents and he doesn't know if it will work out or not. He was shaking and his tics started to show. It worked out really well the parents liked him and vice versa.

Why does Justin greet the different members of the family in four different ways?
I think it was based on their age or appearance which is why he greeted them in a different way.

In the bus stop chapter, Justin told Julian and his friends to leave Jack alone. Was this a good thing to do?

Yes and no, because Justin did a nice thing for Jack by telling them off, but I think Jack can fight his own battles.

In the chapter titled Bird, Via states that she is 'an awful person'. Why do you think she feels this way? Is she right?

I think she feels bad because she didn't tell her parents about the play Justin and Via are in, because they will bring August and she doesn't want everyone to know her as a kid with a deformed brother around high school. I think she feels this way because she realizes she done something wrong and unkind.

In what ways is Part Five different from the other Parts in the book?

Part 5 talks about Justin's experience with Via and her family, his family and his experience with life, whereas in the other parts they talk about Via, August, Miranda and etc. Also, he talks about himself as a person and his struggles in life so far.
