Character Change: Greg Heffley

                  Greg Heffley, the star of the popular Diary of a Wimpy series, has released a new book in the series. Number 8, Hard Luck. Since I've read all the Diary of a Wimpy kid books, I've noticed changes in Greg from when he was in 6th grade to 8th grade. He went through all the changes a normal teenager would go through. For example, break ups with friends, and fitting in with his peers.

                 Greg Heffley and Rowley Jefferson have been friends since before they could even speak to each other. Breaking them apart would be a tough job. But, when Rowley gets a girlfriend, Greg seems to envy him. Greg thought he was better than Rowley, he felt that Rowley followed HIM. When Rowley was with his girlfriend, he would never do anything they used to do together. For example, blowing bubbles in their milk or anything silly. Rowley would think they would be immature.

                When Rowley and Abigail (Rowley's girlfriend) broke up, everything turned back to normal. Greg realizes that middle school is a bumpy ride that will almost last forever. They started to hang out again and blow bubbles in their milk at lunch. Rowley then soon finds out that Abigail never loved him, and that going out with him was just to get her old boyfriend, Micheal, to be jealous. Then after that, Abigail and Micheal were back together again.
