So I have continued to read the book I have chosen which if you would of read my first blog post you would of already know that I have choose to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The last straw. I am currently around 2/3 of the way done with this book and in saying so I thought that so far the book is actually pretty funny and I find it quite interesting that I have finally found a book that I will keep reading because I actually have found something interesting to read for once instead of these long chapter books that I can never really seem to enjoy to much. So any was back to the book.
I last left off telling you about when Greg had stolen the teachers book and he blamed another kid for taking it and making that kid have to stay inside for recess. At the beginning of where I started back up Greg starts talking about what happen when he opened his lunch bag. He only had two fruits and NO SNACKS. So for Greg this was a pretty big problem for Greg because he usually relies on that little piece of sugar to get him threw the rest of the day. In saying so he can not even do one pull-up in his gym class which angers his teacher. When Greg gets home he asks his mom what happen to his snack and she responds by saying some one had stolen all of the snack which immediately makes me think of one person... Rodrick. So when dinners comes the next night Greg goes down stair to see if he can find any crumbs or wrappers in Rodrick's room. So then he hears Rodrick coming down stairs so he hides in the in his desk cabinet. Rodrick's phone eventually dies so he has to go up stairs. So that's when Greg makes a run for it. The days quickly get around to Thursday. When Greg gets home he finds his mom waiting for him, turns out she has gotten his report card and it is not good. So before Greg's dad gets home Greg invites his grandma over so he wont get in trouble. Smart thinking Greg! So next Tuesday rolls around and Greg knows his mom has gone shopping for snacks. So Greg hides in laundry basket to see who is stealing the snacks. So its mid night and Greg hears a sound. He looks threw the clothes and he sees who has been eating the food. DAD. So Greg quickly jumps out of the basket and scares dad. Right then mom hears noise walks into the room and sends both of the men off to bed.
So the next day greg decides to confront his dad for stealing his snacks but dad decides to go to bed early tonight because something is bothering him. turns out the family down the street has had another kid so for the party the grown ups have to try and make the kid laugh but Greg's dad can never succeed in that. Pretty soon Easter comes around and the family has to go to church. On the way to church Greg feels something sticky on his pants. Turns out manny has left a Chocolate easter bunny on the seat so since Greg cant wear his pants to church he has to wear his moms pink sweatshirt like a skirt. Church doesnt go so well because when they all stand up to sing the girl greg likes sees him like this and ends up laughing. Poor Greg.
So thats about all the farther i have read so far. I have about 1/3 of the book left. So far I think the theme of the book is to try to improve your own life and not others because it doesn't get you that far.
My favorite character in the book so far is Greg for sure because he isn't afraid to try and help out other people even if he knows its not going to work out. and I don't have any questions about the book so far but I probably will by the end of the book.
