Diary of a Wimpy Kid(The Last

Straw)Summary
The diary opens with an entry dated for January. Since it is New Years, Greg figures that
people should be creating resolutions lists. Since he can’t think of anything that he needs
to resolve for himself, he determines to help everyone else stick to or construct their own
resolutions. Despite his best efforts, however, Rodrick, his older brother, refuses to make
any changes .

After some time, Greg’s father has called the police department fifty times over the last few
years to report Lenwood. Finally, the entire situation is resolved when Greg learns that
Lenwood is being sent to a military school. Greg’s father decides that both Greg and
Rodrick are some kind of bad kids and worse than the kids in the neiborhood .Greg
suspects that nothing good can come of this conclusion.

Then,Valentine’s Day and the big dance arrive, and Greg is certain that this will be the
perfect time to make his move on Holly Hills. However, when he gets up the nerve to go
speak to her, Fregley, a nerdy kid that lives in Greg’s neighborhood ruins his chance.Greg’s
father takes him to the movies where they run into Lenwood Heath, who doesn’t even look
like himself any more. Lenwood talks to Greg’s father and tells him that he’s not only a star
athlete at the military academy but that he’s pulling high grades, too. Greg’s father begins
to get ideas, and his ideas worry Greg. When Greg hears his father talking to his mother
about the benefits of military school, Greg tells his father that he would like to be in Boy
Scouts so he could make him change his decision. Greg’s father agrees.

At the end they went to Seth Snella's birthday where Manny took the gift for her so Greg
tried to help but his pants fell on the ground so he had to go home.Fortunatelly he saved his
dad from that wierd birthday so as a reward he didn’t go to military school.
