Characterization on Diary of a Wimpy Kid

In this book, the main character and the protagonist is a boy named Greg. The author, Jeff Kinney describes Greg in a very nice and detailed way and makes the book more interesting and funny. He is a very funny author and comes up with nice ideas of making the book fabulous and attractive.

On page 120, Jeff Kinney makes Greg's soccer coach, Mr. Litch a very fierce and strick person. When Greg and his friends had a drink of water and was trying to go to the soccer field, Mr. Litch suddenly yelled - "Get your butts over here!!!"
This shows the readers that Mr. Litch has a bad temper at his students.

On page 143, Greg wore his Speedo underpants because he didn't have any clean ones. On the changing room at P.E. class, his pants went down and other students made fun of him and teased him. " People laughed, "Ha Ha!" and Greg had nothing to say except for "Whup!". Jeff Kinney introduced Greg as a character who always gets in trouble and Greg gets bad things or unlucky things happen to him all the time. This situation shows that this is the main problem of the book.

On page 182, Greg's brother, Rodrick pushes Greg out to the corridor while Greg was only wearing the underwear by tricking him that Greg's crush, Holly Hills is right out there. The passage reads, "Before I realize it was a trick, Rodrick gave me a big shove, and I fell out of the door." Jeff Kinney introduces Rodrick as a mean and a bit cruel person to his brother. This shows that Rodrick is a antagonist, especially to his brother.

I think the reason that this book is fun and interesting is because Jeff Kinney describes well on making Greg getting in trouble. Greg is a funny character because he always comes out with weird ideas and it becomes a failure all the time. Jeff Kinney did a very nice job writing this book.
