Summary of //Diary of a Whimpy Kid//

The //Diary of a Whimpy Kid// is about a boy named Jeremy who’s older brother Rodrick ruins his life and he has a horrible summer. In the summer Jeremy did not go on vacation, instead his father made him join a swimming club. During the summer Jeremy did something that was terrible and he won’t tell anybody because it was that bad. Jeremy and Rodrick fought all the time. Their mother wanted them to be closer, so she made Rodrick pick Jeremy up after swimming. Jeremy didn’t like riding with Rodrick because he had to sit in the back of his band van with all of the instruments. There were no seats or seatbelts in the back. So one day Jeremy told Rodrick to be easy on the seed bumps and Rodrick said okay, but he didn’t really mean it Rodrick found every street that had speed bumps so that Jeremy could get hit by the drums. When Jeremy got out of the van he called Rodrick a jerk. Rodrick got mad and pushed Jeremy to the ground and they started to fight. When they got in the house their mother told Rodrick that he was going to pick Jeremy up from school for now on. When Jeremy got to school his friend Rowley was there. Jeremy and Rowley were making fun of a boy who said he wasn’t coming back. They kept saying I wish he was here and he kept saying I am right here. The boy told his father that Jeremy and Rowley were making fun of him. The boy’s father called Jeremy’s mother and Jeremy got in trouble. Jeremy went to Rowley’s house because his parents went out, so they stayed with the babysitter. The babysitter was a girl Jeremy liked. When they watched movies he would sit by her and take up all the space so when Rowley tried to get on the couch there wasn’t room. Jeremy went over Rowley’s house another time. When he rang the bell Rowley’s neighbor answered the door. When Jeremy turned around to leave the boy asked him if he wanted to play Magic Dragons and Jeremy said yes. But he thought it was a type of video game but it was with toys. Jeremy started to like it. The next day Jeremy wanted to go over Rowley’s house to play Magic Dragons. Jeremy’s mom said that she wanted to go because she thought that the next door neighbor was teaching them magic stuff. Jeremy didn’t have fun because his mother was watching him play. Jeremy thought that if he asked his mother if she wanted to play then she would go home but it didn’t work. She started to play. The next day Jeremy was so happy that Rodrick had a fever didn’t have to pick him up. The same day Jeremy’s class got pen pals and his was French so his letter was all in French. He wrote to him a letter and said they need to talk in English. Rowley had his pen pal since 2nd grade and they had to spend $13.00 mailing letters back and forth. When Jeremy got home his parents told them that they were going to be gone for the night and that Manny their little brother was going with them. Jeremy thought that he was going to watch TV. and that didn’t happen. As soon as they left Rodrick got up and called all his friends and told them that he was going to have a party. By 7:00 almost all his friends were there. Rodrick told Jeremy that they needed tables from the basement. Jeremy went down there and he heard the door close behind him and lock. He was trying to see what was going on but he couldn’t. All he could see was people’s feet and he heard girls. He said that he was not going to sleep on Rodricks bed so he went to sleep on the floor. When he woke up the next morning the door was open. All of Rodricks friends did not leave until 3.00 in the afternoon. When he got upstairs he thought that a tornado came. It was red cups food everywhere. When everyone left Rodrick told Jeremy to help him clean up and he said no. Then Rodrick said do you remember what happened this summer and he said that he was going to tell everyone if he didn’t help. When they were done Jeremy went to the bathroom and on the door someone wrote **Hi Rodrick** in big letters. So he told Rodrick they should replace the door with the basement door. It worked because their parents didn’t know about the party. Jeremy was happy that Manny wasn’t home to tell on them. Their dad went to the bathroom and said that he thought the door locked but they still didn’t get caught.

What virtue does this book repsent The virtue that this is, is the virtue of balance the reason why I say the virtue of balance is because when Rodrick was being mean to Jeremy, Jeremy would do stuff mean right back with him and the reason why I said that is because you would be in balance if you both would be doing the wrong thing and. They would do the right thing and they are in balance because they were both being mean to each other and that is how this repsents the virtue of balance.
