Greg's mom mostly did all the thing in the house, and because she was gong, none of the stuff she did is being done. When they realized that they now have to do the stuff themselves, they fell apart. They tried to do it, but every time they try to do it right, they failed. Greg's mom helps Greg with his homework, but because she's gone, Greg has no one to help him. His dad tried to help, but the way his mom helps is she rhymes anything with the actual answer. Gregs dad also flips the page by licking his finger, so every time he does that, Greg has to count the pages he licked. And his dad gets frustrated a lot, so when he does, he breaths really heavy. So Greg had to put a towel on his arm. Greg's mom also was the one who cooked his food, but because she was going, his Greg's brother, Rodrick had to cook it. Rodrick likes to make fun of Greg and mess around with him, so when Greg asked him to make leftover spaghetti, he pretended to cook it, and when Greg bit into a meatball, he spit i out and never ate leftovers again. His mom was also the one who did the laundry. And because His dad did his homework, and his brother did the cooking. Greg was the one who did the laundry. He didn't know how to fold laundry, and he needed help to know how to start the washer. So

Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking.

He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways.

    “But the principal had ended the suspense early when she sent that letter saying Greg would probably fail Math if he didn’t spend more time studying.” “ And you want to play basketball?” His father’s brows knitted over deep-brown eyes. “ That must be some kind of joke . Now you just go into your room and hit those books.” The textual evidence is related to Greg’s conflict by showing that the letter would show that he is failing in math, and when his father saw the letter he wants Greg to study instead of thinking about basketball. The conflict is important to the events in the story because he never would have run away from his house and without meeting Lemon Brown, Greg would still value basketball over family. When Greg learns about Lemon Brown’s son, his values for basketball…
