& the story continues of diary of wimpy kid: My Life

 So now I am here in my house bored, my father continues to make me much stroger than ever. I am now in trouble, because of something i did to Rodrick. I wrote on his CD's of him and his crew(Bands). "Mom,that little rat wrote on my CD's, WOW-wait this says "BACON!", said Rodrick. Then, my mother reply "Oh lord, kids this so dumd. You love bacon Rodrick!" "Yea, but not on my CD!" said  Rodrick. " I didn't meant  to it was an accident" Oh course no one belive me, so i cant' do the following. Eat candy, Play Hide and seek, Eat corn, Play with Rowley or even breathe. Yea, Rodrick said " Oh you are not allow to breathe", said Rodrick. I reply "I am citizen and i have rights. Which i will follow," "Now you are not a citizen, you are a Notacitizen" Long story short, i have rules i have to follow. The next day i got all the chorus of everyone. I had to clean the toilet, kill big and nasty spiders. "Greg, hurry" scream my mother. So i ran to her, she says "Change the channel, I am tired of  picking the same botton" " I am coming, Mother" i reply. Long story short, i had to do a zillion of stuff i hated to do. For example, taking out the trash, so i kind of like the point i am being treated different. In a bad way but different right,?  Can any thing go much worst in my life?
     Now, i been grounded for seven days, 6 hours, 59 minutes, and 2 seconds. Yea i do keep the time and everything. What i love about getting in trouble is my mom makes me in eat in my room, I am not allow to live in the "Enviroment". Enviroment means with my family. So now Rodrick probaly forgot why i am still grounded, but my mom doesnt of what i think. "Mom remeber what I did to Rodrick CD's?" I ask. She reply "What, are you in their silly Rock and Roll Band? Oh yea Why are you grounded for, Did you eat all fish food, or did you got your little brothers toy? " she ask. " I said "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm." i said for about  one hour, four minutes, and seven seconds. Now i am not grounded. So that was the story when i got on trouble for writting Bacon on Rodrick and his crew (Musical Rock and Roll Band) CD's.
    Hi my name is Greg, but i like when people call me GREG! Today I am going to go to Chucky M chesse, i love that place. The mascot is a lion, they sell tacos and have amazing games. For example, Hide and eat, is when you eat while hiding amazing right.  Another great game is Fool the Food. The game is like if you are eating tacos, you say you are eating Pizza from Italia :D. Really cool right. Well the reason i am going there is because my mom found some coupons on MG Times,that newspaper really rocks. I love it there, i always go there and play hide and eat. Well i love it and end of story.
     Today, I went to Chucky M chesse, it was horrible. First of all, it was full of little kids, i mean LITTLE. So my mom said " be nice to them Greg!" That made me look like a total fool!!!! Now, i had to play with them this game call "LET THE LITTLE ONES KILL YOU" as you heard, you pretend I was a beast a monster a horrible human been. While the kids kick me or treat me reallly bad. As you see it was a horrible day for me. MyR life really sucks right? But I still wants to go there again and have fun with the little kids!! I hope next ime I go with  Rodrick, so then he could be "LET THE  LITTLE ONES KILL YOU". I promise I will record and take pictures of the special event! Anyways, ii am very hurt right now. I am lucky to be writting this Paragraph. By the way did you know that a paragraphs has to have a least six senteces, amazing right. Wait my mom is calling me " Greg what are you doing honey, come look I aam looking through your babies pictures" said my mom. I hav etold you my mom loves to take pictures of anything.
      Now I am very lucky because Rodrick went to this place called " Camp for Rockers" is a camp bulid for rockers. They do music about Rock and also take oictures with other famous Rockers. For example, Kskdjansjf JAKDs Fash John , yeah is really hard to pronounce right. I had  to ask my brother Rodrick how to saay it, and i never ask him for help. But I was very confuse for everything how to prounouce that Kskdjansjf JAKDs Fash John . I hope he stays there for ever right? " Greg, baby come. Now that your brother is not going to be here. You will have more responsibles, which really are going to help me and make me feel like Rodrick will still be here!?' said my mother. "OK, Like what mother" i ask. " Well be a godd kid that is all, ok go have fun" well that is what i hope she would say but instead she said a billion of chourous i have to do. For example, make breakfast, wash cloth, bake cookies only with sugar, play with my little brother, an ddo other things a kid of my age will hate to do you know. Well every single second of my life i miss my borther. I hope he is missing me. (Rodrick in the camp) "i miss my brother, i miss bugging him" said Rodrick. Back at home well i have to go. I am going tostar baking those sugar cookies, i think that is impossoble but hey i going to try! Bye(:

He is also attributed to be the creator of the children-oriented website Poptropica. Jeff Kinney is well known for all those great book he has written. Most famous Diary of a wimpy kid.


    Jeff Kinney lives's in Massachusetts.Jeff Kinney has worked as a newspaper designer and computer programmer, and at other occupations that do not hinge on physical prowess. He never intended to run Diary of a Wimpy Kid on the Web, but the opportunity came up to post his story on Funbrain.com as he was developing it. He and his family live in Plainville, Massachusetts.

Nine years ago, game developer Jeff Kinney started to write the diary of a boy named Gregg Heffley.  A few years after that, he began to publish the story on the website FunBrain.com.    Charles Kochman  picked it up for the Harry N. Abrams imprint, Amulet Books, and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid phenomenon was on.Since then, Kinney published a sequel, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules and, this month, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do it Yourself Book. A third story, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Last Straw is due in January.

  Jeff attended the University of Maryland in the early 1990s. It was there that he ran a comic strip called "lgdoof" in the campus newspaper and knew that he wanted to be become a newspaper strip cartoonist. Although Jeff started writing down ideas for Diary of a Wimpy Kid in 1998, it wasn't until spring of 2007 that his book was published — and quickly became a New York Times bestseller, eventually reaching the number one spot.

 In 2010, Diary of a Wimpy Kid was made into a movie starring Zach Gordon as Greg Heffley.In 2009, Jeff was named one of the 20 Artists & Entertainers in The TIME 100, the magazine's list of The World's Most Influential people.Jeff lives Plainville, Massachusetts with his wife and their two sons. His birthday is on February 20, 1971. That is all about Jeff Kinney(:

Diary of a Wimpy Kid:The Last Straw

The book is about my life, I am Greg Heffley. My father is trying to toughen me up, however he tries in a way which may not happen. I have a diary which i hope no one really finds out about. My brother Rodrick hates me so do i. We really don't get along at. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Last Straw is all about me, well is my diary of course is was going to be about me. I have a mother, father, and i have two siblings.  Mentioned early in the story, Greg's father is becoming tired with Greg's "wimpy" ways. Also, the "worst teenager on our street", Lenwood Heath gets shipped out to military school, sparking an idea in Frank's head that plays a huge role in the story. Later, the Heffleys see Lenwood at a ticket booth with cut the crew, proper and incredibly polite. This causes Frank to decide to enroll Greg into military school, Spag Union, which takes place during Greg's summer vacation. Greg tries in vain to change his father's mind, such as doing activities such as simple sports as soccer and vacation . However, they do not work. Therefore, Greg tries to impress Holly again, but it does not work at all. Finally, he settles for the sad fact he has to settle for Spag Union. But his summer won't be bad if he took some memories with him. All those especial memories they once spent together. In my diary i kept every single moment in my life. My best friend is a guy called fregley. It was that Frank Heffley believed that he could whip his son in shape,and tries to engage him in 'manly endeavors,like participating in rec league soccer teams.But of course, Greg is able to side step his father's doings,but finally knew his number is up when his father decides to ship him off to a military academy.So much for that, Greg escaped because of Seth Snella's half birthday party. Besides that, he met Trista in summer vacation.Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg’s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to  toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other “manly” endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his father’s efforts to change him. In my school there are new people, are they my buddies No. There is this mean girl, who is always bugging me. However, she is stroger than me! I know I can't belive it. She is goregous for  Rowley  again my best friend. We might fight once in a while, but is nothing serious. My have amazing memories together.  He is nicer to be than my brother the big one, because the younger brother we really do not talk to each other.  Rowley is a great bud, my Mother sometimes embarrising me. However, I still love her a lot.  Me, Greg and him, Rowley have been always beeen buds, since babies, just kidding.  Like its predecessors, there's no real story here. Greg torments and is tormented by his siblings, schemes to avoid work and learning, tries vainly to impress a girl, manipulates his one friend, and is treated unfairly by parents and teachers.The book starts with Greg's New Year's Day. The follow-up is Greg's Christmas, which is similar to Christmas in the first book; Greg gets nothing he likes from anyone. Uncle Charlie gives Greg a "laundry hoop" and Greg's mother, inspired, starts making Greg do his own laundry. Due to Greg's laziness, he does not do his laundry and does not plan to either. This plays a huge role later in the story. Mentioned early in the story, Greg's father is becoming fed up with Greg's "wimpy" ways. Also, the "worst teenager on our street", Lenwood Heath gets shipped out to military school, sparking an idea in Frank's head that plays a huge role in the story. Later, the Heffleys see Lenwood at a ticket booth with a crew cut,proper and incredibly polite. This causes Frank to decide to enroll Greg into military school, Spag Union, which takes place during Greg's summer vacation. Greg tries in vain to change his father's mind, such as doing activities such as soccer and Boy Scouts. However, they do not work. Therefore, Greg tries to impress Holly again, but it does not work at all. Finally, he settles for the sad fact he has to settle for Spag Union. But his summer won't be bad if he took some memories with him.
One day, his dad finds Manny's old blanket, Tingy, and throws it away. Manny gets revenge when he uses his dad's Civil War battlefield as a play set. Then Manny walks up to Greg and says "Ploopy!" Greg doesn't know what it means, so he asks to his mom, but she's talking on the phone. She says, "What is a ploopy?!" which was the exact thing Greg wanted to know. Then Manny starts calling Greg "ploopy" to get whatever he wants.
On Easter Sunday, Greg gets in the car, accidentally sitting on Manny's chocolate Easter bunny. He gets out of the car with chocolate on the back of his pants. Then Mom says that they can't skip church when Rodrick takes off his pants and says "He can wear MY pants!" Mom gives Greg her Easter sweater to tie around his waist.
In Easter church service, he looks at Manny, who is playing with the things Mom and Dad brought to entertain him, and then thinks about the day when Manny threw a fit at preschool when his mom cut his sandwich in half, not in quarters the way he likes it. Mom had to drive all the way there to make the extra slice. Then he whispers in Manny's ear, "Ploopy!" Manny starts crying and Mom can't calm him down, so they have to go home.
Also mentioned earlier in the story, the Heffley's neighbors, the Snellas, are having a half-birthday for their youngest child Seth. My mom reallly tries to help me and helps others.
I remeber once in a dance, my mother tried to dance and so back then me
Rowley were in a fight. So Rowley and his mom stared dancing, really cool dancing by the way. At the end of everything, everything went  correct. So i always do I will continue to write in my diary.
My diary is my secrect buddie, i tell him everything  and i will still be writting everything.
I love my diary, after all is the diary of a wimpy kid. Wimpy kid which is me Greg!

Dear Ms.Vallejo

Dear Ms.Vallejo,
    
   Ms.Vallejo Diary of a Wimpy Kid is such a nice and creative book. Let's not forget the comedy this books has. For example, there was a quote made by Greg that said " Chimps are supposed to be smart, but I'm not sure that's true.", Greg didn't put all his effort into it. I know Ms.Vallejo you like work that's is done with nice quality, then you won't no like Greg. Greg is a very chill guy, who isn't like no one else. For example," And I know it's really corny to finish with a happy ending, but it looks like I'm out of paper anyway, so i guess this is the end", that was actually the last qoute of the book. Like i said before Greg does not care at all about school, however he tries his best. Ms.Vallejo you should really enjot reading this book, this book will might help some student who like Greg get bully. Lastly, this book will be great just to have fun, i bet you will laugh while reading this. For example, " My grandmother says " I love all my grandchildresn the same," in the fridge is full of photos of Greg little brother. Ms.Vallejo i really hope you sit one day and read this book.  And have lots of fun sharing with your Richard Merkin Middle School Students. Maybe even have each advirosy read it and do a pster about it. That could be a find activy to do right,?  Diary of a wimpy kid is sure a nice book to read and have a major laugh with! One of major more books that Jeff kinney has made. Many collections of Diary of Wimpy Kid, some books may have different topics. Some topics are funny and some are some are serious.  However you will enjoy this book i 


Sincerely,
Xochitl

lyric poem

it only took a wave
to make whole japan shake
then everything shake
omg is was a  earthquake

japan needs help support
only if i had a passort
to be there and give then food
oh lord i feel like a fool
not helping them

oh god please give the love
because all i have are faith and hope
that they will be wright
god tell me i am right
Japan need hope
Lets give them a yes not a nope
God help Japan give them more stroger school
I belive that that will be cool

The water destroy the whole Japan and give them love
That really be dope
Poor kids who lost their family
I feel sorry for them and even though i don't know them i love them too


Field and mountains
All taken by the snow;
Nothing remains.
God blees Japan

Slavery


Many blacks suffer during slavery
Most of them couldn't get marry
Only because of their race
Blacks were seem with a bad face



Slaves didn't had rights
There morning wasn't that wright
slaves work even in the night



in the north slavery was banned
there was no slave in their land
it dint mean black and white had each other hand

However South was with slavery
They weren't sweet like a blueberry
Slavery was bad
Not for them Pal!

Slavery Was ended; let many free
Now blacks were allow to read
Blacks and whites were what you call same
But Slavery was finish, They won the game!

Narrative Poem

Victoria Martin(:
Baby Sister<3
I couldn't wait
For the most precious date
My baby sisters was almost near
I felt that waiting for her was more nine months it seems like a year


The first time i saw you
I ask myself what to do
Since then i love you,
So much you don't have a clue


Oh Vicky, i love you with all my heart
You are so beautiful, like a piece of art
But if God ever gave me
Something special you see
It will be you, i won't think about it twice
Your love does not has a price




The love i have for you, i can't express
To have you as a sister is a bless
I love to the very end
You I will always be there to defend
You; The baby sister i love


No love lost, however Yes love found
With you Vicky i walk around
Without getting tired
Along I am with you, I don't care if i get fired



A sisters love is strong
A sisters love is long
To see you clap,makes me feel nice
Oh yea you know you are favorite niece

So day by day I see you grow
You are on Angel send from God is all i want you to know
We all love you, I feel like a mom
I feel if something happens to you it will like bomb
That will end the world
I worry for your future
I worry for your life
Are you ever going to be a wife?
Good question i rather not find out


My baby sister never holds a grudge
She is sweet like chocolate full of fudge
I love you forever till the day I die
you will forever be in my life
Thank God for a sister like you(:

Historical Context

 1933 - Adolf Hitler is appointed Chancellor of Germany a nation with a Jewish population of 566,000.  Hitler has power he basically controls every thing.
1934- Hitler receive a yes from Germany to take power/control. Germany agree with Hitler army. They also believe that Jews are the fault they lost war.
1935- The Germans kick off the Jews for serving in the military. Thus was smart, because the Jews felt very  upset seeing their loves one died or being discriminated. So if they had a weapon most likely they will try to kill the Germans/Nazis.
1936-The German Gestapo is placed above the law.  Many approved to the German Gestapo Law. Gestapo were was formally organized after the Nazis seized power  detached the espionage and political units of the Prussian police
1937- All Jews are banned from many professional occupations including teaching Germans, and from being accountants or dentists. No longer were Jews allow to work on their own. The Jews couldn't have their business, the money will be missing and they wouldn't have supplies for home.
1938- Jews are no longer welcome in doing legal practices. Jews were not allowed to perform any thing that related to their religion. Freedom of religion was not use  during this time period.
1939- Nazis force all the Jews to give them all the gold and silver items they own. Beside being discriminated the Jews have to give the Nazis their goods. The value items they had one by one.
1940- Warsaw Ghetto, getting was full of Jews and it was seals-up. A ghetto was full of Jews. Jews who were now suffering. Jews who didn't had rights.
1941- Nazis are now taking control force all Jews to do hard labor. Jews are now force to do labor who aren't use to being doing. Everyone does labor elders, women, children's,
1942- German Jews are banned from using public transportation(for example buses, trains). Pretty much Jews were losing their rights toward life. No bus meant no having a good time with family.
1943- The first transport(bus) of Jews from Vienna arrives at Auschwitz.  The transport is here, for Jews.

This were some Historical Context during the Holocaust, that have made a big impact in our life's! To be graceful of freedom to do any action, unless it will harm others!

Look and Learn

                                                     
-A gas Chamber was the easiest way to execute Jews. The easiest and the cleanest way to Execute all the
Jews in big groups. Either way Jews suffer and unfortunately died.


                 
-Anne Frank was a girl that at a young age went to very difficult stages of life.For example,
hiding at a attic, very small space for her to have a time with herself. She wrote a diary who is now
very famous, well know diary!
The star of David represent who was Jews and who wasn't.
The Jews must wear this symbol/star. A Star of David, often yellow-colored, was used by the Nazis during the holocaust as a method of identifying Jews.
-Hitler was a very power Strong controller. He made Nazis execute the Jews, he blame the
Jews for the lost of the war. Six million of Jews died in results of Hitler cruelness.
-Everyone in the Holocaust suffer, however women,elders, and kids(includes babies) were the easiest target.
The Jews were feed it as much food as we human need.
Jews went to many situation; that i admire them for all the suffer they went to and still had a smile in their
faces (:
-This the place Anne Frank along with her family and the Vaan Daans they hid.
They had to be very quiet and not make any noise when the Green police came along.
They all had a small space for them self!
This one of a example of propaganda, very hurtful pictures of Jews. This photo is trying to make us
have a visual bad picture of Jews, which is totally false. The Jews cry over seeing the
pictures everywhere they go.
-concentration camps were Jews taken after they were caught or seen on the street.
Jews never had a change to have fun or enjoy a good time with their families.
Everywhere they go they were discriminated!
The swastika is an extremely powerful symbol. The Nazis used it to murder millions of people, but for centuries it had positive meanings. This symbols has and had a big impact in today's and back then society!
- The women, elders, and kids(babies) were the easiest target. They all got
torture, the mothers cry when the Nazis took away their babies or sons/daughters. The Jews went
to through tough situations.

The Nazis believe every single word Hitler said. Hitler just the Lord/God to blame the Jews for the lost
of the war. Hitler did many awful things.
The holocaust all stared by the lost of World War 2.  Hitler blame the Jews.
 Of course the Jews didn't do anything, is was the easiest target to blame!

Rest in Peace
all the Jews who died during the Holocaust
