As Greg tries to change himself and his best friend Rowley it cost Greg a very special friendship with Rowley, and this causes Greg to come across as a jerk. So Greg has to fix his friendship with Rowley and get himself back to normal. In the beginning of this story Greg is just starting school and he is showing what he is going to do to get through Middle School and how he is going to leave his mark on the school.

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

Of course, Nate had to get good grades or else he would’ve gotten held back. Plus, if Greg hadn't gotten popular he would know nobody. It would only be Rowley by his side of him. In conclusion, Greg and Nate accomplished their goals and their school year was
The main trait that has the most relevance is exploitation. Throughout these books, Greg is shown to be taking advantage of his only friend, Rowley Jefferson for his belief that Rowley has lower-intelligence than him. Rowley unwilling takes part in multiple of Greg’s schemes that usually results in Rowley getting stuck into the mess Greg has caused. In the first book, Greg joins a program to help kindergartens walk home, while walking them home he torments them with a worm on a stick and when one of his neighbors see him they believe he is Rowley and Greg lies and says he is Rowley. This resulting in Rowley forced to apologize and get removed from the program. This is not the first time Greg took others advantages for their ability in other cases he has broken Rowley’s arm and got jealous of the popularity

In this fiction book, Greg is on a long road trip because his mom looked through a summer fun magazine and saw things to do in it and she chose the road trip option.

While Greg takes social anxiety to a new level with his crusade to “be on low-key good terms” with everyone in the school without actually having any friends, there is a level of accuracy to his extreme anxiety towards being his own person. Pretty much any person Greg’s age has had some level of identity crisis or fear of showing their true selves, mostly because kids are cruel and judgmental. His survival tac tics prevent him from making any enemies, but they also deny him the simple pleasure of having any friends. To that end, Greg refers to Earl as a “co-worker,” since they spend all their time together filming goofy parodies of classic, well known films, conveniently sparing Greg the risk of asserting his own preferences. While he won’t say it, one thing Greg finds appealing about these collaborations is that they allow him to spend a lot of time with someone he genuinely enjoys without ever having to label him as “friend”. Earl is quick to clarify to Rachel that they are in fact friends, but that Greg “has issues.” Greg is clearly passionate about filmmaking, and arguably has a talent for it, but he’s too terrified of accepting and showing himself to make anything that’s truly his own. He is petrified of hearing his own voice. Ironically, this story is defined by Greg’s voice. The audience is made aware of who Greg really is through the use of him as the
The lady unraveled the bandage and winced as the tattered cloth scathed her injury. Her hand was swollen with splotches of red and blue.
The narrative begins when Gregory is about seven years old, quite young to be experiencing such a painful lesson in racism. However, this teacher, which Gregory never mentions her name, dishes out her hatefulness with every opportunity. Gregory has a classmate, which he is quite fond of and tries to impress her at every opportunity he is given. The problem Gregory is up against is that he is poor. Gregory has one set of clothes which he washes every night. He shines shoes to make money, which he leaves on Helens porch instead of buying food. In return, Helen, the girl of Gregory’s dreams, rewards him as she walks by his house on the way to school with a wink and a smile. Gregory jumps through hoops to gain this girls attention and she is never unkind to him even though she is economically in a better situation than he is. However, when he goes to school he is made the center of attention by the teacher who labels him an idiot; she does this intentionally by placing him at the back of the room in a seat with a circle drawn around it in white chalk. Gregory is
In the book Diary of A Wimpy Kid: Old School, written by Jeff Kinney, Greg is dashed through a variety of things he has to do but does not want to. In this fiction book, Greg does many things like, picking up trash at a park, making a lemonade stand, and going to a creepy summer camp. But, he really does not want to do any of these things. The three topics addressed in the humorous book are the characterization, conflict, and antagonist.
Greg references multiple times throughout the book that he is not the most popular kid in school, “I’m somewhere around 52nd and 53rd most popular this year” (Kinney. p 7). He has one good friend Rowley and a back-up friend who he barely mentions. “Rowley is technically my best friend, but that is definitely subject to change” (Kinney. p 17). I believe the reason Rowley and Greg have become such close friends is due to their peer associations. “Peers generally include youngsters who live in the same neighborhood, share similar interest, and are of the same sex” (Brighton. p 27). He is heavily lacking in peer relationships as he only has one true friend to interact with in and outside of school. Because Greg does not have a solid peer relationship
Awley has shown me just how important yet fragile friendship is. Those who have it nearly always take it for granted. Whether it be the cool lacrosse jock who everyone in the school knows or someone with a few close friends, both will likely lose sight of the value their friends hold at some point. Awley knows how quickly all his friends can abandon him, for seemingly no reason at
Greg Gaines is just trying to get through high school trying not to get in a specific “group”. He only has one friend, Earl, and they make movies together.

Greg’s attitude at the beginning of the story is disrespectfull and before meeting Lemon Brown.He stood to upstair thought of the lecture the proababley awaited him if he did anything except shut himself in his room with his math book and started walking down the street instesd.This shows that Greg never listen ti his dad.This also shows that Greg doesn’t want to study.Pulling his collar up as high as he could he cave hecked for traffic and made a dash across the street.This shows that he is not appericating the advantange he has.This also shows that Greg don’t think that her dad worry about him.This shows that he doesn’t care of his Dad.Have you
Rowley and Greg are not the most popular kids in school ¨I´ve been trying to be a lot more careful about my image ever since i got to middle school¨ (Kinney 18). The book is very well wrote if you are looking for a funny exciting book that is not boring to read. Its like every other kids life he has an older brother that likes to pick on him named Rodrick and an annoying little brother that gets whatever he wants his name is Manny ¨When I woke up this morning and went downstairs there were about a million gifts under the christmas tree. But when I started digging around , there were hardly any gifts with my name on them. But Manny made out like a bandit. He got every single thing he circled in the catalog¨ (Kinny 120). So over I enjoyed reading and writing about Diary of a wimpy kid it was a fun read not too hard or not to easy i am really looking forward to the next books. I enjoyed how the book also had pictures if you didnt understand what they meant in the reading it helped to look at the pictures to get a better understanding.
