Summarizer:
As we come to an end, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, keeps on getting better and Greg of course continues with his mischievous actions and anything he could possible to gain fame. Greg and Rowley are working on a cartoon strip called ZooWee Mama! During lunch time there was an announcement made for Rowley Jefferson to please report to the office. The boys had really thought it was because their comic strip had won. It turned out to be for the worm chasing Rowley had done while walking the kindergartners home after school, when really it was Greg who had walked them home. Rowley was in deep trouble at school now. He was suspended from safety patrols and from walking the kinders home. Later that night, Greg tossed and turned because he knew he needed to tell Rowley the truth and didn’t know to approach him. Greg finally tells Rowley the honest truth and Rowley seems upset about it. Again, there was another announcement made over the speaker this time for Greg Heffley to report to the office. Greg knew it was just a matter of ti me before he gets busted for the worm chasing incident. Greg is now let go from safety patrol duty. Greg knew it was Rowley who had ratted him out. Since this incident Rowley has been giving Greg the cold shoulder and has be hanging around Collin Lee. Rowley and Collin wore the same T-shirt that said BEST FRIENDS on it and Greg just wanted to vomit. Greg thinks of Rowley as his ex-friend.
Greg’s teacher was going to be out and guess who the sub was….his mother was. Greg had plans to act as the class clown and he was hoping he could win that vote. But as he walked in and saw his mother his plans were spoiled. Greg knew if there was a biggest mamas boy category, he would win in a heartbeat.
Today, the comic strip contest was released and it was Zoo Wee Mama by Greg and Rowley. Well, somehow Greg’s name was removed and Rowley Jefferson received all the fame. Greg was furious he wanted to fight Rowley.
In conclusion, I strongly believe children need to be engaged when reading and have the opportunity to participate in some type of book talk in which they discuss what they’re reading. By participating in literature circles, children have the chance to analyze what they’ve read with a group or their peers and this discussion enhances their understanding and appreciation for books.

I can relate to this just recently. My kid experienced something like this his 8th grade year. Although it wasn’t him he had spit on the teacher’s lunch, but because he knew about it and didn’t say anything he was just to blame. I remember the consequences being very serious, but I argued until the principal released all punishment against my son and the kid WHO did cause all this mess finally got kicked out of school. Keep in mind this was private school.
