A Kid With A Diary

Author’s Note: Almost everyone is lazy in the summer like not wanting to do chores. For most kids these days they want to play video games or play outside.

Jeff Kinney wrote the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days to tell us that summer can be bad or good depending how you act or what you do. The main character of the book is middle teen boy named Greg Heffery. What he encounters is always going to be bad news, and doing things he doesn't want to do like playing outside.

As most children want to play outside with friends during summer, Greg only wants to play video games and watch horror movies. Greg starts off the summer with a easy job. The thing Greg didn’t understand was what he had do. Forgetting about things can be good or bad. In the book Greg forgets about a animals. A bad thing about forgetting, sometimes happens to animals. Abusing animals can be very dangerous, but it is done everyday around the world. Animals can be lift in a car on a hot day while people go and swim.

Swimming is a fun thing to do on a hot day, but for Greg that’s not so fun. For Greg swimming is fun but to walk though the locker room is an awkward thing. Once you got thought the locker room with men half naked you’re going to be scared for life. At the local pool there is a life guard the Greg liked then found that she likes someone else. holidays could be a good time to get someone you like over for dinner.

Holidays are a great get together with family. One thing is that Greg has a big family and every holiday they sleep in a small house. Most of Greg's family are annoying so it’s hard for Greg to manage the yelling. Some families have nice parties and some have bad parties and for Greg his is bad. Now all Greg can wish is to have a normal family. real life families there is mostly the annoying family and if they sleep during the holidays it can be a real struggle.

Sleep is a good thing but over summer it just makes you lazy. Jeff Kinney wrote the book to make our summer better than Greg's summer. This book has some things that happened to the author when he was a kid. Go outside and play with friends and don’t be like Greg.
