DIARY OF A WIMPY KID

THE UGLY TRUTH

Gregory is a kid in middle school who is trying to get popular but always fails. I think that Jeff Kidney (author) has a lot of skills in humor because he is able to write a kind of joke that everybody can laugh at. A feature the author uses is that the view is always from the front or the side. The only time he has a close up is when they show something degusting. Ex: close up on Fregly’s secret freckle. The way the author draws his character is very funny.

He usually exaggerates with the form of the face. Ex. Manny’s head is bigger than his body. All teenagers have a deformed head or a lot of freckles. Jeff Kidney has made a good job writing the book in a way everybody can understand. The diary is like if Gregory was talking to us. Gregory is always chasing this girl named Heather hills, but he never really gets far. Ex. Greg was in the church. He shook hands with heather hills. Then at home he wanted to call her and say he was the guy from the church. But Rodrick hid all the phones. The author makes Greg look real in the words but not in the pictures. The people in the book don’t talk a lot. Sometimes they only say small sentences that make us laugh.
