Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a book about a middle-schooler named Greg Heffley, but he seems to have a lot of bad luck. Greg is not as tough as his dad would like for him to be. Greg is actually pretty wimpy, but his dad really wants that to change. Greg lives with his parents, an older brother (Rodrick), and a little brother (Manny).
Whipping Greg into shape was not going to be easy, and the fact that his best friend (Rowley) was just as wimpy as Greg wasn’t going to make this any easier. Greg is always getting into embarrassing situations, and just seems to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time. When Greg is not embarrassing himself, his family seems to do it for him. He has a crush on a girl in his class at school, Holly Hills, but she doesn’t even notice him.
Mr.Heffley’s boss has sons that are very much into sports, but Greg is not the sporty type. His dad wants this to change, so he signs Greg up to play soccer. Greg is not excited about playing soccer. He is horrible at soccer, so he had a plan so that he wouldn’t have to play in the game. He asked the coach if he could be the back-up goalie, because the boy that played goalie was very good and Greg figured he could get through the season by sitting on the bench. Just when he thought that he had it all planned out, the goalie was hurt during the game. The coach had no choice but to put Greg in the game. Greg’s team was up by a few points, so he figured that with only two minutes left on the clock what kind of damage could he really do? He wasn’t paying attention and protecting the goal like he should have. The other team scored, and Greg caused them to lose the game. This ruined the team’s winning streak, they were undefeated until they put Greg in the game. Greg’s dad wasn’t happy that soccer wasn’t able to change Greg’s wimpy ways. His dad knew a trouble making kid that lived in the neighborhood. The kid was sent to boot camp because his parents were tired of him getting into trouble. Greg’s bad luck streak was growing longer, because his father had ran into the kid that had just gotten out of boot camp. The boot camp totally turned the child around. Mr.Heffley thought that boot camp may do the trick for Greg. His father told him about the camp and that he had signed Greg up, and that he would be shipping out at the beginning of summer vacation. Greg was horrified of going to boot camp.

Greg was upset that he was going to spend his summer vacation at boot camp. He wanted to do something to change his dad’s mind. Greg thought that if he joined the boy scouts that his dad would be happy and not send him off for the summer. He joined the boy scouts and earned his first merit badge in sculpting. He was very proud of himself, and he couldn’t wait to show his dad. His dad wasn’t as impressed as Greg was hoping. Greg thought that if he went camping with his dad that he could show off the skills he learned from the boy scouts, and that his dad would not send him to boot camp. So Greg’s dad planned a camping trip for them, but also for Rodrick. They packed everything they needed and headed out to the campsite. When they got in the car it began to rain. They had a water-proof tent, so they weren’t worried about the rain. But when they got to the campsite it was flooded. They decided to go to a hotel for the night. When they got to the hotel Mr.Heffely had to go to the front desk for extra blankets. While he was gone Rodrick was looking through the peep hole in the door, while Greg was changing into his pajamas and brushing his teeth.
The Essay on Mom And Dad Party Asked Decorations
Creative Story: Father's Handicap For a week in February when I was twelve, my mom and dad started to work hard to set up a Credit Union party. They asked me to help them so, everyday after I got out of school I would help them. Finally Friday came, a day before the big bash and I still had to help set up decorations. We were almost done but, my mom said, 'Mike can you sent the tables and put up a ...
All of the sudden Rodrick says “Greg, Holly Hills and her family are in the room right across the hall!” Greg was in his underwear (and only his underwear) when he went to look out the peep hole. The next thing he knew Rodrick opened the door and kicked him out in the hall closing the door behind him. Greg was locked out and Rodrick would not open the door. Greg had to hide behind the snack machine until his dad came back so he could get back in the room. When they got home the next day it was time to go to the neighbor’s party. At the party all of the adults lined up to make faces at the baby and try to make him laugh. Mr.Heffely disliked this part of the party because Mr.Snella always videoed the entire party. He told Greg that if he could get him out of this that he would owe him big time. Greg could not think of anything that would work. Right about that time Manny was grabbing the wrapped presents. Greg tried to stop him, but Manny threw the present out the window. Greg walked outside to get the present, but it was up in a tree. He began to climb the tree when he got stuck and his pants fell down to his ankles. He started to call for his dad. It was great timing because his dad was the next in line. Everyone at the party saw his underwear, and Mr.Snella got it all on video. Since Greg was so embarrassed his dad took him straight home. His dad thought he had done this on purpose, so Greg did not get sent to boot camp.
