Charles Barkley's 'Diary Of A Wimpy Kid'

The relationship between reading and writing is magnificent because they are one and the same. A great consistency of reading can permit someone to become a great writer. While reading a variety of books, he/she learns about text structures and language that he/she can transfer to their writing. I believe that reading gives me knowledge, which I can use to create narratives, argumentative essays and analyses. While in college, I plan to read extensively and develop a love for reading and writing, which I will have to use to be successful in my

This is a great book that everyone should read. The main characters are children, but they share adult characteristics. Some children have evil in their hearts, some children have good in their heart. The same goes for the real world. This book teaches us that we shouldn’t let the savage get to our hearts. You should always have the good side to you no matter the situation. When evil enters your heart, things can go horrible without even realizing it. An example is when they thought Simon was a wild boar and they killed him. Not because they meant to, but because they let savagery into themselves. All age groups should read this

Ever since a young age I’ve enjoyed reading. My mother even read to me while I was in the womb. When I started kindergarten I was so eager to learn how to read. After I learned how to read my reading level was always significantly higher than the others in my class. I was reading chapter books in first grade. Similarly I was very excited when I learned how to write. Ever since then I have enjoyed writing and do it in my free time. I have been told and

At this point in my life I find myself in an interesting predicament regarding my attitudes toward reading and writing; more so towards reading. Years ago I used to love reading books for pleasure but nowadays I find myself reading things that little to no effort to digest. This includes the very basic posts on facebook expressing one’s opinion on something or articles and threads on reddit discussing topics I find intriguing. Perhaps it’s the severe senioritis that has overcome me as I enter my last semester at Chapman University. As I’ve gotten lazier I can see it start to reflect in my everyday life. Deep down I still love to read but I rarely find myself getting truly invested into the action unless it relates to something I am very

Diary of a wimpy kid is a movie about a boy named Greg, and Rowley and their hardships in middle school, and how he overcomes them while trying to “fit in” the new school he makes many new friend while putting his old friendships at risk. While this movie is very entertaining, it also shows racism, sexism and ableism. This movie portrays racism by ignoring Chirag Gupta one of Greg’s friends he is a really smart kid and wants to be successful the only reason Greg and the people at school are ignoring him is because he went to India for 2 months, to make him feel bad they made him feel invisible and whenever he tried talking to him or any of the kids at school they would not even acknowledged the fact that he was present there, also they made

I now know that I am capable of writing anything I set my mind to, before I used to struggle coming up with a topic to write about and now the topics are quick to come up with which is great because it means less time being wasted doing absolutely nothing when most classmates are already on their final draft. What I thought about reading before entering college and what I think now about reading is still the same, I still don’t enjoy reading as much as I should in order to succeed in college. Strategies that i’ve learned and improved in writing are many, as

In elementary school, I loved to read. Writing was not a big deal either due to the fact that we did not have to write four page essays. It was in first grade when I started to like reading. Reading has just been freshly introduced, considering we had only completed one year of school. My teacher always read to us and I wanted to read those books as well. Throughout elementary school I started to read Junie B. Jones books, which were my favorite. All of the books were about a first grade girl and her different adventures. I had always enjoyed reading those books. Each book had a different topic which I would always relate to in some way. Although I liked to read, I did struggle with reading comprehension which made me dislike writing as well. I hated having to read and then go and write about it. To this day, I still do not like reading comprehension, but my feelings toward reading and writing have changed.

My friend got me hooked on the books in third grade, and I have been a fan ever since. I have always been big into sports, and when I was a kid, all I wanted to do was play outside. Once I started reading the series, that was all I wanted to do. I would get home from school and just sit on my couch and read until dinner was ready, then I continued reading until

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School” is a novel by Jeff Kinney about the many setbacks of Greg Heffley who is in middle school. He comes across a lot of issues in the book one is his grandpa moving in also attempting to live without technology while he was at the hardscrabble farm for a field trip. In the beginning of the book Susan, his mother, feels like the family is spending too much time or is “obsessed” with technology. She wants her family to spend more time with each other instead. At the same time, Greg finds out his grandfather is moving in and doesn’t know how long. Him and his father, Frank, aren’t looking forward to that, however, Susan thinks having three generations in the same house is a wonderful idea.

The first and most important lesson for a grade school or middle school student to understand and appreciate is kindness. Kindness is a major theme in this book. Most of the characters give serious thought about how their actions will affect others. In this book it shows how much kindness matters. To quote the text people

Many people read for fun but they are also learning while doing it. They are learning new words and expanding their vocabulary. Learning is a necessity in life and people learn the most by reading. Reading is an everyday activity and if an author writes something people expect to learn from it. It also makes the author learn. While writing the author is putting his skills to use. By doing that they are keeping their brain function high and they are getting relieving themselves from any medical issues that come with age and affect the brain.This being true that is an effect from writing you can learn from reading it and from writing

Reading was the new outlet for my imagination and the stories I read fascinated me. They weren’t too unlike the scripts of computer games or the own stories I came up with on my own, but books actually had the action and emotional aspects written out. And again, while my peers were reading things about growing up, things that had morals and would teach valuable lessons (I remember one book about a shoplifter who had to do community service at an animal shelter), I read real fiction: Jurassic Park, Dragonriders of Pern, Lord of the Rings… Stuff of fantasy and science-fiction that let my mind stray from reality. Stuff that kept my imagination alive while I was being forced to learn multiplication and the names of countries. Of course, my teachers encouraged me to keep reading, as long as I wasn’t doing the reading in the middle of their lectures. But it wasn’t because of their influence, however, that kept me interested in books. It was because I loved it. It put pictures into my head and made me think. So I kept reading. But even then I knew reading wasn’t enough… Yes, the stories were fascinating, but they weren’t what I wanted. Back then I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but as middle school came to a close, I found it.

Additionally, what people read influences how they perceive the world. In turn, this influences what and to whom they like and are sympathetic towards. I once needed to write a nonfiction essay for a school assignment, and I choose to write about video games, specifically about their artistic potential and about esports. I choose that subject since I love video games, and have amassed a wealth of knowledge about those topics over many years worth of

Reading and writing are both important; you can’t have one without the other. They are skills that are increased constantly due to little things that most times are not noticed. Whether it is from a book to a poem, there will always be a way that it helps out your school performance. Reading and writing in general only helps absorb information, and enhance leisure or school related writing tasks. It has also made life itself so much easier because reading and writing are so beneficial for school and for life. How much you read and write today, will somehow affect your future job, family, position, or even your salary.

There were so many life lessons reinforced and relearned. Not to mention I could relate with the main character, Charlotte Stirwater, a stubborn, independent, hardworking woman, who looks at the world realistically and logically. Besides her character being relatable, unfortunately I also related to the villain Jack Spinner/Rumpelstiltskin as well. He was just a lost soul looking for justice for his son’s death, and that obsession and hate consumed until he was no longer the same man he was before he died. The themes/lessons in the book that influenced me were:
