MID TERM EXAM#2

       The series I chose to do a summary on is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.  The series includes six books. Jeff Kinney, the author, also wrote a ‘Do-It-Yourself’ book so people who read the books can make one kind of like it by their self. The series got started on Funbrain.com in 2004. According to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid website, the online book is different than the printed series but, they still share several similarities. The first three printed books are based on the online book but, still are different.
The books are about a boy named Greg Hefley and his friend Rowley Jefferson. Greg has a big brother: Rodrick, a little brother: Manny, a mom, and a dad. Rodrick is in a band called Loaded Diaper and he is very goth-ish. Manny is about five or six years old and he some how annoys Greg by being a kid. His parents are somewhat normal and sometimes embarrassing. 
Throughout the first book, Greg and Rowley struggle at school with starting middle school and fearing the CHEESE TOUCH. On the blacktop at his school, there is this really old piece of cheese that is moldy and no one wants to touch it but, someone has touched it and every one hides from that person in fear of the cheese touch. At the end of the story Greg and Rowley get bullied into eating it so now they have the ‘touch’. In the second book, it about how Rodrick teases Greg and how they have a huge talent show. The third book is about Greg's father, his soccer team he used to be on, and Spaig union. The fourth book is about Greg's summer vacation, and the fifth book is about Greg facing growing up pressures. The sixth book is about how Greg and Rowley accidentally vandalize their school and think the cops are coming after them.
