Status Updates From Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 5 : Th...

The Ugly Truth was written to entertain readers and make them laugh. The author, Jeff Kinney, wanted to show how weird and awkward middle school can get. He proves this by how on pages 20-22 when Greg deals with losing his best friend Rowley to a hired mentor from a company called "Cool Brian". Greg's awkward struggles continue on page 97 when his dentist forces him to wear an embarrassing corrective headgear 24/7.

STATIC V. DYNAMIC: In the first 56 pages, Greg Heffley is a static character because he refuses to change his behavior. While Rowley is a dynamic character who is beginning to mature. On page 18, Greg shows that "The problem with Rowley is that he's is not very good at making new friends, so I'm going to have to do the work for him" This proves how Greg is still the person he was in previous books.
