Compare And Contrast Diary Of A Wimpy Kid
How often do you read a book that is almost identical to the movie? Not very often, right? Well, it wasn't that way for Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney.
The movie and book had a lot more similarities than I thought they would. They used some of the same quotes, and a lot of they same scenes. The book and the movie both had the play in it. They both had the scene where Greg went out for wrestling. The were very similar, but they also had some differences. In the book Greg created Zoo-Wee-Mama, but in the movie Rowley created it.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is about a boy named Greg Heffley. Greg is just starting middle school, and he’s not exactly looking forward to it. He doesn’t want to deal with all the morons and jerks throughout

    The differences are subtle, but they are all there. One difference between the two are the order of events. Certain scenes, such as Paul and Albert's injuries, the French girls and Paul's leave, are all done in different orders in both the movie and book. In the book, the scenes play out like this; first the boys meet the French girls, then Paul has his leave and then finally Paul and Albert get injured However, in the movie the events play out as so; The boys meet the French girls (n this particular sequence of events meeting the French girls happens first, however, in the movie that scene is shown later then in the book), then Paul and Albert get injured, and then finally Paul has his leave. This difference is very trivial as it doesn't change anything significantly, however it is a pretty striking…

    The second comparable scene is when the Socs and Greasers line up to fight each other. They are smack-talking back and forth with each other. Two similarities between the book and the movie could be the sound of the greasers and socs talking back and forth, and it both showed or described how the greasers and socs were lining up. Two differences between the book and the movie could be instead of Paul swinging at Darry, some random Soc swung at Ponyboy, and the empty lot looked different than what I had imagined when the book described it.The book was more effective during this scene because It gave more detail about how the lot looked like and it described the feeling better than the movie…

For example, in the book the story of how 5 year old Eric Morse got dropped out of the 14th floor window was different from the story in the movie. In the movie it…

    As researchers are saying bullying in schools is becoming more common, and nothing is really being done about it. In the article Bullying In Schools author Ron Banks states some statistics, “approximately 15 percent of students are bullied regularly or are initiators of bullying”. When students are being bullied they never really tell anybody about it because they don’t want to be known as a “tattle tale”, and get bullied more. Most of bullying comes from children who are living in a home with physical punishment, so they learn to be aggressive and mean. “60 percent of those characterized as bullies in grades 6-9 had at least one criminal conviction by the age of 24.”# The main reason why kids become bullies is so they get a reaction,…

The team has not received any training that is regularly provided and Peter accepts that the team is not working together. More experienced members of the team are not helping out the newer team members who are making mistakes resulting in the more experienced team members then correcting the mistakes.
