I didn’t start reading the Diary of the Wimpy Kid until middle school. I watched the movie in middle school before I read the book. It was funny. I really enjoy reading this series because it’s filled with illustrations/ funny characters to go along with the story. The series was humorous and easy to read. Friendship is the major theme of each book, Greg, his somewhat evil older brother Rodrick, his younger brother Manny, and his best friend Rowley Jefferson. I remembered I liked reading the books because it was written as a journal/diary format. It was different from other books. Kids reading these books can relate to it. His life as a loser in middle school and his older brother is the cool one that makes fun of him.  

I remember I used to write my own diary with little drawings at the end but I got lazy and gave up writing diaries for 1 week. I find that it is hard to keep writing in my diary. I never filled up 1 page. I started to write a diary in freshmen in high school my art teacher told us that each day when we come into class start with a 10 minutes of writing about anything, I would get stuck and end up writing, “I don’t know what to write. I don’t know what to write.”
