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.
