Julian, A Terrible Friend

Have you ever had a friend that is harsh, rude, and immature. well Julian from wonder is that friend.

Julian has proved that he is harsh, for example, he put mean notes into Jack’s and August’s lockers. Julian came up with the plague game.The plague game was a stupid game were if you touched August you only had 30 seconds to wash your hands.

Julian is immature,because on page, 197 him, Henry, and Miles made gaging sounds at Jack when he was leaving the grocery store.And he also made people turn against Jack and August.

Based on what I read Julian is rude, because he would give Jack and August death stares from across the room. Also Julian called August names like, The Freak, Zombie boy, and ect. Eventually in the Julian chapter he admits he made the plague game, and he was shameless about it.

In conclusion, Julian is harsh, immature, and rude. Which makes Julian a Bad friend.

Two Hilarious Stories

I am going to write about two hilarious stories I read.  I will compare and contrast,”I Funny by James Patterson and Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Third Wheel by Jeff Kinney.  There are some similarities in these interesting stories.

Both stories take place in middle school and the main characters are both trying to accomplish something. For example, in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The main character, Greg, is trying to get a girlfriend.  In I Funny, the main character, Jamie, is trying to become a comedian. In both stories neither of the main characters like going to school. For example Jamie rolls out of school the second the bell rings and Greg sometimes plays sick.

Although both stories have some similarities, there are specific differences. In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Greg is very lazy about everything. In I Funny, Jamie is very motivated to be come a comedian. In both stories the main character has a different family life.  Jamie lives with his aunt, uncle and cousins. Greg lives with his parents and siblings.

In conclusion, both stories were very engulfing to read. I enjoyed learning how different both stories are. My favorite story was “I Funny” because I liked that Jamie was trying to be a comedian.
