Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Book Essay

726 Words3 Pages

One of the most entertaining books I have ever picked up and read was a Diary of A Wimpy Kid book called Dog Days by Jeff Kinney. The genre of this book is Fiction because it is not telling a true story, but instead, a made up one. This book came out in 2009 and has it’s time set to then. A big part of this story takes place at the Country Club as well as the Heffley home. It is written in first person point of view of Greg Heffley and he takes you on a roller coaster thrilling ride through his summer. The theme of this book is to always follow your dreams and to never be scared of doing so. They try to prove that you should do what pleases you and live your life how you want to and not how others want you to. The main character is Greg Heffley who is just your average teenage boy, he loves video games, has brown hair and absolutely loves to sleep. Rather then play sports, he loves to play online sports/activities and would do anything over computer before actually going outside. His best friend is Rowley but unlike Greg, …show more content…

Jefferson checked his account for the month and noticed several charges, way more then they have ever even had in a year. From there, they found out that Greg had been using their membership and buying stuff off of their account as well. When they told Mr. Heffley he was not only furious but extremely disappointed in his son for using other people’s account and not telling the truth about his so called “job.” I feel as though the story would not have been so funny if it was told in another persons view because whilst it’s in Greg’s point of view you can tell when he is worried or going to be in trouble. This book is one of the best selling over the whole entire country and I completely recommend it. Ever since I was really young I have always really enjoyed the entertainment and laughs these pieces gave me. If you have a chance I encourage you to read this book because it is something any age group would

  • Piggy Lord Of The Flies Argumentative Essay

    726 Words  | 3 Pages

    William Golding’s fictional, British novel, Lord of the Flies, presents a character that serves a two-part function as a “scapegoat” and a certain commentary on life. During WWII, a group of British boys are being evacuated via plane when they crash and are stranded on an island without adults. As time progresses, the innate evilness of human nature begins to overcome the savage society of young boys while Piggy, an individual representation of brains without brawn, becomes an outlier as he tries to resist this gradual descent of civilness and ends up shouldering the blame for the wrongdoings of the savage tribe. Up until his untimely death, Piggy is portrayed as the most intellectual and most civil character in the group of stranded boys. Right from the beginning, Piggy realized that “[they] got to do something,” (8) and he recognized the shell Ralph had picked up as a conch.

    The book I have chosen to review is Boy 21, a fictional read that is written by Matthew Quick. Quick is a New York Times best-selling author debuting in novels such as The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail. To best describe this book, it is a captivating read that is comforting for the mind, as it canvasses the raw and unflinching life of a high school senior who displays love for basketball and life relationships. Furthermore, set in a troubled Belmont city of Philadelphia, Quick incorporates the presence of mobs and violence which is captivating towards the reader and audience. I was intrigued about how the novel was written through Finley the main protagonist, which was Quick’s childhood perspective of life in Philadelphia and his passion towards basketball.
