Blog Post #3: Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Third Wheel by Jeff Kinney

The book I read was called Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Third Wheel by Jeff Kinney. It’s about a guy named Greg who is a teenager and is writing a journal about his family and school. The story mostly takes place in a school and his house. In the beginning, we learned that when Greg was little he got everything from his brother Rodrick as a hand me down. He didn’t like it because he didn’t like Rodrick’s style. As the story continues, readers find out that there is a school dance coming up and Greg is trying to get a girl to go to the dance with him. Then, Greg decides to send Valentine cards to a few girls asking them to go. Finally, he ends up going to dance with one of those girls.

I thought the most interesting part of the book was when Greg goes to the school dance because I didn’t know if he would have a girl to go with. Right before this, Greg takes a girl named Abigail to dinner and readers find out that they are going to the dance together. Then, while they are at the dance Abigail talks to her friends instead of hanging out with Greg. I thought this was interesting because it seems like Abigail doesn’t like Greg but at the end they slow dance.

Blog Post #1: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The book I read was called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It’s about a girl named Katniss who is a tribute in The Hunger Games, a battle where children kill each other. The story mostly takes place in an arena where they are in the Hunger Games. In the beginning, we learn that Katniss hunts for food to bring back to her family. She is poor because she lives in a mining district. As the story continues, readers find out that the Hunger Games is coming up and that they will pick one boy and one girl to be in the games from each district. Katniss’ younger sister and Peeta are chosen, but Katniss volunteers to take her place. Then, they go to the Capital to get ready and practice for the Hunger Games. Finally, all of the tributes are taken to the arena to start the Hunger Games.

I thought the most interesting part of the book was when Katniss tries to help heal Peeta. Right before this, Peeta got hurt and camouflaged his body so that he could be hidden from the other tributes. Then, Katniss finds him and takes him to stay in a cave. I thought this showed she was really caring because even though they are in the same district, sooner or later they are supposed to kill each so someone can win.

My favorite character in this story was Katniss. I would describe her as helpful and adventurous. For example, she is adventurous because she would sneak out of the district to hunt for food with her bow and arrow. She was also helpful when she took care of Peeta during the Hunger Games and when she hunted for her family. Finally, I would also describe this character as talented because she can aim well with her bow and arrow and had good killing skills.
