Eveyrbody Hates Greg Heffley

During the next days I have read through of the diary, Greg has been in several issues as he always is. To start off, has had trouble waking up in the morning without his dad's assistance. Before their moms' departure from the family to go to school, dad woke Greg up every morning for school. But, after she left, Greg tried and tried waking himself up after dad decided it was time for Greg to be a big boy and wake himself up. One of Greg's maneuvers to wake up was to use a very loud ticking alarm. Little did Greg know, that was a alarm that ticks and ticks and ticks over and over again, so Greg was barely sleeping through the night because of the loud ticking alarm. The next day, Greg accidentally hit the fire alarm during class because he was still sleepy from his exploding alarm clock, but did not turn himself in after hearing the consequences. A few days later he was moved on short notice by his dad to a different dentist. Of course, there is always a reason why Greg is facing this situation worried and angered; He will be leaving his hot, young dentist for a older, more serious dentist.

A unique trait for Greg is that he is uncooperative. I could tell because he in not cooperating with his dentist or dad. The text states, "That's actually a real problem, because I depend on HIM to wake me up. (Page 75.)" This quote shows that Greg is dependent on his dad and has been uncooperative ever since dad decided not to wake up Greg. According to the text, "I thought about making a run for it, but dad must've known what I was thinking, because he locked the doors. (Page 92.)" This quote represents how he is not cooperating with his dads' decision on a new dentist. This is why I believe Greg's unique trait is uncooperative.

Wimpy Kids... Aren't Those Exciting People?

Throughout the 70 pages I have read, the main character. Greg Heffley, has described his un-content life from his friends/teachers, advertisements, 'grammie,' and his encounter with his neighbor's plants. In the beginning of the book, Greg was introduced to his once-friend, Rowley's new 'Cool Brian' which is basically a way for kids to hang with a friend. Later on, he found the ad for a new Peachy Breeze kid sponsor. Telling his mom this, Greg discovered his mom rather wanted Manny, his younger brother, to audition but Greg was able to hitch a ride with his mom before she left. Once there, Greg was tripped up, failing to catch attention by the producers. Then, Greg explained his grandma and how she is emotional like when he described the moment when she sat down triggering a whoopie cushion, becoming embarrassed. Thus, she wrote a letter saying she was sorry, so in response, Greg had to write his response back. Finally, Greg had to watch out for his neighbor's plants. Unaware he forgot to water them, Greg was yelled at by the neighbor for that, and that he left the keys in the keyhole when he left.

I believe that the best trait to describe Greg is humorous. I believe so because he is always making readers' laugh at his stunts and actions throughout the book. In the text, it states, "... I just throw one of my pillows across the room.... "Hey, what's this pillow doing here? (Pg. 70)" Once reading this, I was able to figure that Greg is not only humorous, but easily-forgetting. Even with the whoopie cushion incident, I giggled as he had to write a letter back to his grandma. If you had ever read a Diary of A Wimpy Kid, I guarantee that you will laugh at least once at Greg's adventures during Middle School. I get most of my humour from Greg and I'm inspired by his ways of handling situations. On that note, I believe Greg Heffley can be described perfectly by the trait, funny/humorous.
