The story that I read is Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. This story is about a young boy named Greg Heffly and his experience in middle school. Greg didn’t want a diary in the first place because he specifically told his mother that he wanted a journal. Greg thinks that one day he will become rich, famous, and handsome but right now he is stuck in school, getting bullied around. Greg’s best friend is named Rowley and they always hang out together. Greg’s brothers, Manny and Rodrick, are always getting him in trouble and Manny is younger and Rodrick is older. In school, there is something called the cheese touch and that is something that got started by somebody touching a moldy piece of cheese and it got passed around. Greg gets no attention from anybody and he is always trying to impress girls. There is a wrestling unit in school and Greg got beat up by some of the weaker kids in his class. Greg thought that he would be stronger by working out, but his dad said that exercise equipment was to expensive. Greg is always trying to listen to one of Rodrick’s heavy metal Cd’s, but he is always caught by an adult. When it was winter time, Greg and Rowley made a plan to build the worlds largest snowman like they do every year, but of course like always the snowman melted. Gregory thinks that in school, if he becomes a safety patrol then he wouldn’t get bullied around. If somebody messes around with a safety patrol then they could get suspended. Greg thinks that if he becomes the class clown then he will be more popular. Greg thought that if he pulls a prank on a substitute then he won’t  get in trouble. Greg was wrong because the substitute was his MOTHER! If you want to find out more then read the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
