=I liked the last part of the book also. I felt like Greg learned to appreciate Rowley by the end of the book. It was also funny that Rowley's comic ended up being in the school paper and was so popular. I felt bad for Greg that his comic did not get in the paper the way he originally wrote it. It would be really disappointing to work on a comic then have it changed like that. The book is definately fun and easy to read. I also recommend for you to try reading books about things you like. It might be a book about an athlete you like or something about hunting or fishing. When I was your age, I read lots of sports books. I also recommend finding a classic author you really like. I like John Steinbeck myself. I hope I get to see you at the reception tomorrow.= = Week 4 Adult: Dan Gable = Student: Alan Burton Book Title: Diary of a Wimpy Kid Pages Read: DONE!!!

** I thought that this week’s reading was funny. I think that it was funny how he didn’t get in trouble for what he did to the little kids with the worm deal, and Rowley did haha. Then when he didn’t have a friend anymore, he got upset and was mad because he didn’t like that he didn’t tell the truth. Then the comic thing how Rowley got the job and the teacher didn’t mess his up but he did Greg’s. He wanted to be remembered in the yearbook so he tried to be the class clown, but he wasn’t funny at all. Then when Rowley and Greg were going to get in a fight, the high school kids pulled up and Greg talked his way out of it, but Rowley lets just say that the cheese is no more. They made him eat it. At the end of the book he didn’t get class clown. Want to know who got it? It was Rowley. Greg had the cheese touch and no one came near him. He got Rowley back as a friend though because of the cheese touch. ** Week 3
 * I liked the book. I think that’s is very funny and there’s nothing that could have made it better. I would tell kids like me that don’t like to read to read this book, because it’s easy to read and it’s funny. **

 * Greg is still struggling through the school year and is now being forced by his Mom to be in The Wizard of Oz. He tries to get the smalles part he can and ends up playing a tree. Unfortunately for him, he has to sing. Rodrick is in the audience with a videocamera to tape him. When Greg realizes this, he decides he won't sing. This causes the other two trees to stop singing. Greg and Rowley also have an interesting night Trick or Treating. They have a car full of teenagers come after them, and they have to hide out at Greg's Grandma's house.**

I really liked this book and was able to read it very quickly. I enjoy the perspective it gives on sibling relationships and friendships. As far as my job, I manage the commercial insurance department at an insurance agency in Charleston. Basically, that means I am doing insurance for local businesses. I work with restaurants, auto repair shops, used car dealerships, and construction contractors to name a few. I really like my job and enjoy all the different people I get to work with. It works well that I work with businesses because I went to college at The University of Illinois for Business. I look forward to seeing you.
