Essay On Diary Of A Wimpy Kid
My book report is going to be about Diary of a Wimpy Kid, double down. When I first saw this book I was expecting an elaborate story line, many plot twists, and great character development. The main characters are Greg, Mr. Heffley, Mrs. Heffley, Rowley, and his baby brother Manny. Greg is the narrator of the book and the book is things that happen to him that he wants to write down. Mr. and Mrs. Heffley are his parents. Rowley is his best friend, Greg also has two brothers named Rodrick and Manny. I didn’t include Rodrick as a main character because he only shows up every one page and so. He also has a pet pig that has learned to walk and wear pants. The settings are Greg’s house, one friend’s house, his school, and I guess his car. In the start of the book, Greg said about how he saw this movie about how some guy was being recorded secretly for a TV show. …show more content…
He talks about how if anyone is acting his family and random people then their doing a great job at it. He means that by he thinks everyone is just acting stupid on purpose. He then thinks that his family are robots, so the only way to find out how is to splash then with water. When that doesn’t reveal that they’re not robots, he comes to two possible answer. One is that they aren’t robots, or that they are water proof robots. After that, he talks about how there’s got to be more life then us out in the galaxy. He thinks that flies are tiny UFO’s and he just talks to them. The reason why he talked about that is because he thinks someone is keeping tabs on his life. His Anna died and his mom says that she is always watching over him. He’s a little creped out because of some things he doesn’t want anyone knowing. Like how he sometimes cheats on tests and when he uses the bathroom. After that he goes on to talk about how his school is having a book

    Dear Diary (entry two), things have not gotten better; in fact they might have worsened. Ralph called a meeting to discuss how nobody was doing his assigned tasks, and instead they were running wild or playing around. Then he threatened us saying that if we do not keep the signal fire we will be stuck on the island with the beast. I do not know how I feel about the beast but I do know that it is causing me a lack of repose. The stories the littluns have told about the beast sounds pretty compelling, however I don’t presume there is a beast. Piggy told me that “Life id scientific, that’s what it is…I know there isn’t no beast” (Golding 76). Piggy is extremely intellectual, so if he said there is no beast there mustn’t be a beast. I do have an uncanny feeling that if there is a beast it is Jack or he is secretly doing something malevolent. I do sense a tension between…

    From the start and through his death, Hassan remains the same: loyal, forgiving, and good-natured. Hassan grew up with a very particular role in life. He prepares Amir’s breakfast and collects his books while Amir gets ready for school. Rather than going to school as well, Hassan stays and helps his father, Ali, get groceries and complete their chores. Instead of receiving his education, he stays home and lives as a servant to those richer than he. Hassan learns early on in life that it is his duty to sacrifice himself for others. As a result of growing up this way, Hassan is not prone to envy and is even happy with the way he lives; the life he has.

To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is primarily a novel about growing up under extraordinary circumstances in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The narrator, Scout Finch, lives with her older brother Jem and father ,Atticus, in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama. Maycomb is a small, close-knit town, where everyone knows each other. Atticus is a highly respected and responsible citizen of Maycomb County. He constantly tries to instill good values and a sense of moral decency in his children. As a widower, Atticus raises his two children on his own with the help of his kind neighbors and Calpurnia, his loyal housekeeper. Atticus, Maycomb’s best lawyer, is appointed to defend Tom Robinson, who is a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. During the trial, Atticus balances what is morally right and what the local community desires. Tom Robinson is innocent, but he is proven guilty because he is black, and the girl he was accused of raping, Mayella Ewell, is white. Maycomb’s society turns a blind eye to the case and allows Mayella to win because of the inequality between whites and blacks. Tom is found guilty and is then placed in prison. While in prison, Tom attempts to flee, but is shot to death. Because of the trial, Atticus exposes himself and his family to the anger of the white community.

    The chapter opens with the introduction of the narrator, Scout (Jean Louise) Finch, her older brother Jem (Jeremy), and their friend and neighbor, Dill (Charles Baker Harris). Next, Lee provides an overview of Finch family history. Their ancestor, a Methodist named Simon Finch, fled British persecution and eventually settled in Alabama, where he trapped animals for fur and practiced medicine. Having bought several slaves, he established a largely self-sufficient homestead and farm, Finch's Landing, near Saint Stephens. The family lost its wealth in the Civil War. Scout's father, Atticus Finch, studied law in Montgomery while supporting his brother, John "Jack" Hale Finch, who was in medical school in Boston. Their sister Alexandra remained at Finch's Landing. Atticus began his law practice in Maycomb, the county seat of Maycomb County, where his "office in the courthouse contained little more than a hat rack, a spittoon, a checkerboard, and an unsullied Code of Alabama." His first case entailed defending two men who refused to plead guilty for second-degree murder. They instead pled not guilty for first-degree murder, and were hanged, marking "probably the beginning of my father's profound distaste for criminal law." Scout then describes Depression-era Maycomb, "an old tired town when I first knew it", summer heat and slow pace of life. She notes, "There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County". Scout describes as her father as entirely "satisfactory," and her family's black cook, Calpurnia, as strict and "tyrannical." Scout and Jem's mother died of a heart attack when Scout was two and she has no memories of her. However, Jem can remember his mother and Scout notices that he is occasionally nostalgic about her. The novel takes begins during the summer. Scout is almost six, and Jem is almost ten. Once this background picture is complete, the real…

The ideas to learn about courage were that there are two types of courage, physical and moral, and that Lee and I both clearly agree that moral courage is more important than physical courage. Through the actions of Atticus and Mrs Dubose, Lee shows us that this idea is worth learning about.…

    It’s a sin to kill mockingbirds. That’s what Atticus told Jem when he acquired his first weapon. He told him it’s a sin to harm anything that doesn’t commit any wrong, a message the American South needed to hear desperately at the time Harper Lee was writing. In the book, the children have been relentlessly making fun of Boo Radley, but Jem soon realizes that Boo is not what their prejudices had caused them to make him out to be. He learns from this, and begins questioning his beliefs. Lee uses Jem’s experiences with prejudice to introduce the message into the story, which is a message that is also meant to influence the racist American south.…

    “The witness of the state… have presented themselves to you… in cynical confidence that their testimonies won’t be doubted [because of]... the evil assumption - that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings.” (Lee 273). This was a line quoted from Atticus during Tom Robinson's court case in To Kill a Mockingbird. To Kill a Mockingbird took place in the early 1930’s in Maycomb County, Alabama, when many people were strongly prejudiced against blacks. Atticus said this line not only to save Tom Robinson, a black man, from the wrongful verdict of rape, but potentially even some of his town from the stifling grip of prejudice. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee demonstrated that prejudice causes lack of empathy and bias; this was shown through the words and reactions to conflicts of prejudiced characters.…

Most of the characters in the novel have hopes and dreams they wish to fulfil in able to gain freedom, independence and to get away from the loneliness they suffer. The dreams of these characters are unrealistic and seem impossible to come true.

This dream is common amongst the workers of that time since the novel was set during The Great Depression, wherein most people lost their life savings and were unemployed. Just like these affected workers, the characters in the novel went through hard times but yet each was a different individual with different traits. They each wish to find the presence of hope and perform their own ways to achieve their dreams. This is what defines their personality and their whole being in the novel.…
