I’m going to write about two funny stories that I recently read. I will compare and contrast “Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Cabin Fever” by Jeff Kinney and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Days” also by Jeff Kinney.
Being that both books came from the same writer and feature many of the same characters, there are many similarities in these two funny books. Both stories are hilarious because in each one, the main character, Greg, gets himself into trouble over bad choices made in silly situations. For instance, in “Cabin Fever,” Greg gets in trouble for something he didn’t do, but rather than take the blame and explain what really happened, he tries to cover up the evidence.  Like he does in “Cabin Fever,” in “Dog Days” Greg finds himself in trouble when he mistakenly puts charges on a country club account he thought was free. Rather than fess up to his mistake, he tries to earn money by performing jobs he doesn’t know how to do regardless of the outcome.
Although these stories have a lot of similarities, they also have a lot of differences. In “Dog Days,” Greg’s mother wants him to be outside the entire summer when he’d rather be indoors playing video games. She sends him to the country club where he makes the charges to the account that ends up getting him into trouble. In “Cabin Fever,” Greg gets snowed-in into his school with his family. All he wants is to be outside, but if he does, he’ll get frostbite, which is the opposite of what happens in “Dog Days.”

In conclusion, both stories were very exciting to read. I enjoyed “Dog Days” because it was crazy and I enjoyed “Cabin Fever” because it was the funnier of the two to read. While both stories have many similarities, they have enough difference to keep them interesting. “Dog Days” was my favorite because it was very adventurous. It seemed like there was a lot more action in this book like during a chase scene when Greg’s friend Rowley broke his arm. While running down a hill, he was hit in the foot by Greg and sent flying, only to hear the sound of a large crack and shatter that turned out to be his arm. Ouch!

The most special time in my life is when I went to Catalina.

We traveled to a island on a shuttle boat.

Once we arrived we unpacked.

Then we set up the tent.

It was so hot out we took a swim.

After that we went hiking for buffalo.

By then everyone returned to camp and ate.

Night time was the best time of all we had a wig party and roasted marshmallows.

John Muir is America’s most important conservationist.

John Muir has been called ‘the father of national parks.’

John Muir founded the Sierra Club.

As a wilderness explorer, he is renowned for his exciting adventures in California’s Sierra Nevada, among Alaska’s glaciers, and world wide travels in search of nature’s beauty.

As a writer, he taught the people of his time and ours the importance of experiencing and protecting our natural heritage.

His writings contributed greatly to the creation of Yosemite, Sequoia, Mount Rainier, Petrified Forest, and Grand Canyon National Parks.

Many places are named after John Muir, including the Muir Woods National Monument, the John Muir Trail, Muir College (UCSD), and many schools.

John Muir’s actions inspired President Theodore Roosevelt’s innovative conservation programs, including establishing the first National Monuments by Presidential Proclamation, and Yosemite National Park by congressional action.

In 1892, John Muir and other supporters formed the Sierra Club “to make the mountains glad.”

John Muir was the Club’s first president, an office he held until his death in 1914.

It is John Muir’s Sierra Club that has helped to establish a series of National Parks and a National Wilderness Preservation System.

Muir’s last battle to save the second Yosemite failed but ultimately resulted in a widespread conviction that our national parks should be held inviolate.

John Muir remains today an inspiration for environmental activists everywhere.

John Muir’s life reminds us of the important things that just one person can do:

“If you think about all the gains our society has made, from independence to now, it wasn’t government. It was activism. People think, ‘Oh, Teddy Roosevelt established Yosemite National Park, what a great president but it was John Muir who invited Roosevelt out and then convinced him to ditch his security and go camping. It was Muir, an activist, a single person.”

“Okay let’s go find it wait its a legend are you sure .

Yes Shinku says with excitement.

“According to the map it’s right here”
