What comes in mine when i say “best friend”. A best friend is some one who is kind, smart, and loyal. In wonder August and jack are examples of best friends. Its only because august is a good friend. First, August is a very kind friend. Oh page 18-19 when August meets Mr. Tushman he is trying to be kind to Mr. Tushman. August still is very shy though. Through out all of wonder August never tried or did hurt any ones feelings!!!!!! At the end of the day he is a kind person.Next, August is the most humble person in wonder. According to the text on page 302-308 August never bragged about his medals when he got them at the end of the year.For instance, August is very intelligent, he gets really high grades and never talks about them.Finally, August is really smart {again}.  He gets high honnor roll, because he is very smart. From my reading I know that he makes good dicsions in life.In concluetion, August is very good friend by being kind , smart, and loyal he is a true friend.
