Diary of a Wimpy kid

Characters & Prediction: By Margie

Greg: is the main character of the entire book. He is in middle school and is the friend of Rowley Jefferson. He is a cartoonist of the short-lived school newspaper comic. He is also a tree in the school production of The Wizard of Oz, a safety patrol guard, and a pirate for Halloween.

Rowley: is Greg's best friend who usually helps Greg with his schemes.

Aunt Lydia: is Greg's aunt who gave him an encyclopedia for Christmas.

Uncle Charlie: is Greg's uncle who is known for giving Greg exactly what he didn't want. He gave Greg a Beach Fun Barbie by mistake even though he was supposed to look for a Barbie Dream House.

Aunt Loretta: is Greg's other aunt who gave him pants for Christmas.

Preston Mudd: is a student who won Athlete of the Month but is made fun of because of his name with only his first initial and last name, P. Mud which sounds like Pee Mud.

Benny Wells: is a kid who can bench-press 250 pounds.

Mr. Underwood: is Greg's P.E. teacher who coached the class in the wrestling unit.

Patty Farrell: is a student who Greg swore revenge on for giving away the secret that a map was shown for a quiz which Greg flunked. She played Dorothy in school production The Wizard of Oz and had apples thrown at her from Greg.

Mr. Ira: is a teacher at Greg's school who edited Greg's comic, "Creighton the Cretin" by changing the name of the comic to "Creighton the Curious Student" and adding educational information.

Mrs. Norton: is the school drama teacher who directed the school production of The Wizard of Oz.

Rodney: is a kid who tried out as the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz play, but just became a shrub. While in the costume, he plays video games to pass the time. He was accidentally crushed by Archie Kelly and he delayed the play because he had stage fright.

Archie Kelly: is a kid who played a tree in The Wizard of Oz play just like Greg.

Ricky Fisher: is a kid in Greg's class who picks gum under people's desks for fifty cents. He also helps Greg and other students to build a robot project.

Mr. Darnell: is a teacher who is known for canceling Independent Studying for the rest of the school year the fact that Greg and other students came up with a robot project.

Prediction:
My prediction in this story is that the middle school students are will be bulling Greg, Benny, and Rowley for canceling the Independent study for the year. Even if some students never attending an Independent Study, they will find a way.
