Reading Log 3-1-11

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid by: Jeff Kinney

1. The conflict in this realistic fiction book took place when Rowly, Gregs best friend, ivited him to his pool over the summer. The two lounged in the sun drinking smoothies by the dozen. When the waiter brung the check they put rowleys dads credit card number unaware that someone actually had to pay. When the check makes its way over to the parents the boys have to find someway to pay off the bill.

2. My favorite character in this book just so happened to be the main character as well, Greg Heffley. He was a protagonist and static and major. Greg was a good problem solver. I believe this because in some of the situations throughout this book Greg was wove into he so many situations yet, somehow found a creative way to get out of it. A quote from the book that shows this quality is "Me and Rowley realized we were gonna have to do this a different way, and make our OWN ads."

3. A cool authors secret I noticed while reading this book was how he finds a funny angle from every story. I remember reading this story laughing more than I ever have in any other book. This characteristic draws the reader in and makes them feel like it would be impossible to put the book down.

4. A new word I learned in this weeks reading is sonata which is a noun meaning a composition for one or two instruments, typically of three or four movements in contrasting forms and keys.

5. I do believe this is a book that I would use for a book commercial in the future because it was really fun to read and I'm sure it would be even funner to share it with my peers.
