DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE LAST STRAW By Jeff Kinney


Dear Class,

I am reading the 4th book in the series Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This book starts out with the main character (Greg) helping his family members stick to their New Year resolutions.


His Mom: to go to the gym more.


His Dad: to stop eating junk food.


Rodrick (big brother): to stop bullying Greg (Greg’s idea.)


Manny (little brother): to stop using his pacifier.


Greg gave up on helping his family with their resolutions real easily. I wonder why Greg even tried helping his family with their New Year’s resolutions.


Now Greg wants to build a time capsule. His best friend, Rowley, put most of his Christmas presents in the time capsule to show the people that open it in the future how “cool” his stuff was. Greg didn’t want to put his presents in there because they were not “cool” enough. On the box he used for the time capsule, he put a note saying that the money he had out in it was to be returned to him, and then he added not to open until they had invented a time machine.


My connection to Greg helping his family with something is my sister and I helping each other with soccer but normally it works out. I predict that no one will find Greg’s time capsule.

Excellent post, SB. Why do you think that no one will find Greg's time capsule? Why do you think it's so hard for people to keep their New Year's Resolutions?
