Diary of a wimpy kid the long haul. Jeff Kinney.
It’s family vacation time again for the Heffley’s. This time it’s a family road trip that was decided by Greg’s mom. They originally were going to go to Disney World, but Mannie cried that he didn’t want to go. So, road trip it was, to see their aunt at the nursing home, go to the beach, and whatever else came along the way. Family road trips are suppose to be fun and all about spending time with the family, unless you are the Heffley’s of course. The thing that grosses Greg out the most every time they go on a trip, they have to bring Mannie’s potty with them in the car. Greg feels really uncomfortable when Mannie uses it while they are driving.

Greg begged his mom to let them go there. So they all took a vote, Greg’s mom didn’t want to go, but she was outvoted by four to one. So they walked into Soak Central and got a locker to put all the stuff they didn’t want to get wet in the locker. They changed into their bathing suits and met outside the restrooms. It was super crowded, and there was no way they were going to find five lounge chairs all together. They eventually found ONE chair with a few broken straps, and they dumped there towles and the rest of there stuff on it. Greg’s mom and dad stayed with Manny and they let Greg and Rodrick go on there own, but they had to stick together. They went to the giant wave pool first, but there were a BILLION people in it. Rodrick suggested that they should play hide-and-seek, but with all the people and the rafts in the pool, Greg knew it would be impossible for the seeker to find the hider. Greg wanted to make it fair so the hider couldn’t go underwater, but Greg knew Rodrick would cheat. Rodrick got a paper from the snack bar and decided to use this and the hider can’t get the paper wet. Greg was the hider first, but what he didn’t know is that Rodrick had written something on the back of the piece of paper. Rodrick wrote “i’m not waring a bathing suit.” The missed spelled word made it even worse. When they were going back to the locker Greg told his parents he couldn’t find the key so they had to ask the guy at the front desk and when they told him the locker number “929” he unlocked it and nothing was in the
The book I read was Dairy of a Wimpy Kid The Long Haul, author and illustrated by Jeff Kinney. The book is about a family road trip, but not typically the normal road trip. Greg Heffley was looking forward for an enjoyable long summer and right when he sat down to play video games his mother interrupted him and spoke "Turn the TV off, pack your bags, were going on a family road trip". I'm interested in this book the reason for this is I have read an amount of Jeff Kinney's other books and I enjoy his style. He adds a large amount of realistic situations and he creates them funny way as well, which inspires me want to read more of his books. He also made the images appealing in a way where it is part of the story and funny.
When i was younger i grew up in a town called Whitby. I used to enjoy going to the park and playing with my friends. Once in a while, we would walk to the next town to see other people. Also, there was a public pool down the street from my house that we would frequently go to if there was nothing else for us to do that day. There weren't very many nice places to go and eat when you were hungry. There were alot of fast food restaurants, which we did not go to. My favorite place to go and eat was a little place called Mom and Pop's, they had the best sundaes i had ever had. overall, Whitby was not a bad town to grow up in I met many great people and lived there for 18 years before moving to my current town of Campbellford.

In the book Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, written by Jeff Kinney, Greg is being dragged through the country in an uncomfortable car for a road trip. 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. Of course, Greg and the rest of the family was not thrilled by this idea. The three topics addressed in this book are the protagonist, conflict, and characterization.
Many children display challenging behaviours in a variety of ways such as defiance, over-competitiveness, lack of ability to relate to others or other inappropriate behaviours such as violence toward others. "Tricky Kids” (Fuller, 2013) is a book that attempts to normalise some of the behaviours seen as inappropriate characteristics that can be positively maximised rather than pathologizing the behaviour. Models to help in maintaining appropriate behaviour for students in classrooms mainly involve evaluation of antecedents and consequences to problem behaviours and then making interventions based on these behaviours (Conroy, Asmus, Boyd, Ladwig, & Sellers, 2007). This is based in behavioural psychology with reinforcement of desired behaviour and consequences for maladaption to expected standards (Miltenberger, 2015).
When I was in the fourth grade I could not go anywhere in my classroom and beyond without seeing it. The green book.So now curiosity peaked at the sheer number of students who constantly grasped it in their hands I decided to find out its name, and after stealthy glances at my peers I discovered it was called Diary of a Whimpy kid: the last straw. Now with the information I soon asked my parents for the book and eventually I myself was the owner of the green book. Now with the chance to discover what had enraptured the attention of so many of my peers I eagerly consumed the book and found myself craving more of the story. I soon attained the remaining books and devoured them in a quite greedy manner. But once I ran out of my hunger began to
The newspaper was taped in the inside, so Bud snuck out the shed and went inside the house. Right after pouring warm water on Todd’s bed and hiding the family’s shotgun, Bud grabbed his suitcase and headed for the local library.
Every night my mom would read me a chapter or two of a “Junie B Jones” book. I couldn't wait until I was old enough to read by myself. Reading seemed like a special power people posessed when they got older, it seemed astonishing to me. The first series I really liked was “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”. I’ve read every single book in the series, whenever the next book from the series would come out, i’d get it first thing the next day. I never really read that often after I finished the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series. Those books really entertained me and anything else I read from the point didn't sway me. In fourth grade, I had a really awesome teacher that was really hard on me, but I really believe she helped me the most. I don't remember everything

I’m stuck, stuck in a thought. I’m that whirligig maker from Chicago that crashed your campsite. However, It’s been fun having you around! After you departed from the campsite, I was in awe because the little aspects you made me notice when you taught me the game, Go. I felt that there was hope, I could be brought to life but as a new me and this game appeared as if I was reconstructing my new existence. I’m currently heading towards Florida, and then to Washington to then mount my next whirligig. I have many thoughts roaming in my heads like stray dogs in a park. I’m enjoying the freedom, however, I think I’m taking this trip which is suppose to be in memory for Lea for granted. I can’t get my parents off my mind because they didn’t and they
My life as a child started when I was born on August 26,1999 in Macon GA but, Juliette was where I grew up, and where my heart belongs. (I wasn’t a planned baby). I was the youngest out of three kids my brother, then my sister. I was an early baby so my Parents still didn’t have a name picked out for me. They decided on Makenna from God knows where but my middle name came from my mom’s best friend Leigh.
Throughout my education, I had so many challenges I had to overcome. Dealing with school, personal life, and sports. Dealing with all of these problems has shaped me up as a person. I know now how to work for what I want, nothing is handed to me in life. That is something everyone needs to know, and now I know.
