Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Diary of a wimpy kid.
Jeff Kinney

This story is about a boy named Greg Heffley decides to keep a journal, not only because his mother wants him to, but also because he wants something he can give to people who ask him questions once he becomes rich and multi- famous. Greg details his day to Day life as a middle school student and gives his opinion on bullying, e.g. like boys and girls, where to sit on the first day of class, whom to talk to, how to draw cartoons and numerous other topics.
Greg is a middle child. Greg’s older brother is Rodrick he play practical jokes on him all the time Greg thinks his younger brother Manny is a spoiled little kid. Greg thinks that his parent’s don’t really understand him.
Greg’s best friend is Rowley, they became friends because Greg felt sorry for Rowley, but all this mean things Rodrick did to Greg, Greg does to Rowley. Along with a few ideas of his own, One day Greg goes too far and makes Rowley take all the blame or the chasing the kindergarten kids all the way home, instead of walking them home like a safety patrol person should’ve.

The moral of this story is that no matter what type of personality you have or whatever you look like you will be bullied, and later on you won’t be able to take it in anymore so you start to bully yourself as well.
Bullying doesn’t make anything better than it was, but it makes everything worse that it was or could’ve been.

    “But the principal had ended the suspense early when she sent that letter saying Greg would probably fail Math if he didn’t spend more time studying.” “ And you want to play basketball?” His father’s brows knitted over deep-brown eyes. “ That must be some kind of joke . Now you just go into your room and hit those books.” The textual evidence is related to Greg’s conflict by showing that the letter would show that he is failing in math, and when his father saw the letter he wants Greg to study instead of thinking about basketball. The conflict is important to the events in the story because he never would have run away from his house and without meeting Lemon Brown, Greg would still value basketball over family. When Greg learns about Lemon Brown’s son, his values for basketball…

    Greg is upset over losing Rowley as his best friend, though his mother tries to cheer him up by telling him that friends come and go. Since Rowley Jefferson and Abigail Brown became a couple at the end of the previous book, the two friends have become more and more distant, very noticably even within nine and a half days. There were many things Greg and Rowley used to do together, such as blow bubbles with chocolate milk cartons that they can't do now, because Abigail disapproves of it. Greg doesn't like how Abigail is trying to shape Rowley, and even believes she is starting to use him. Greg states it gets to the point where Rowley isn't allowed his own opinions anymore, but is simply just following Abigail's. Many plans, such as a snowball fight on a nice day, haven't gone ahead, and when Greg confronts Rowley, he taunts Greg by telling him he's just jealous that he has a girlfriend. Also, Rowley is the only one who can bail Greg out of the fact his English teacher, Mr. Blakely, only accepts essays written in cursive, but also, usually, Rowley scouts ahead and checks for any dog poop whilst they are walking to school, but without Rowley, Greg is having to watch out for the poop himself and avoid a very nasty Rottweiler whilst walking to school. And then Abigail starts using Rowley to carry her books. Greg used to use Rowley to do the same thing.…

    In the poem, “To This Day” By Shane koyczan he shows a bibliography about bullying and how it affects people. And how he got bullied as a kid. People need to understand that what they say doesn't just go one ear out the other. People can be extremely hurtful without knowing it.

That is just one of the many things kids said. The quote shows that even if people think i can't get worse that is usually when it does. But the problem is that people dont understand the scar that they leave when they do those…
