tree. One literary element i noticed is the tone. how the author has everything going against the main character greg nothing really goes his way. he doesn't get to play the instrument he wants, he gets in trouble for not eating an apple his mom pack in his lunch. For accidentally getting locked in the practice room during the band play and getting grounded by his dad. Those are some of the examples of tone. Another example is the theme i noticed is when things don't go your way don't get let down and don't give up. Because greg faces a lot of obstacles and never gives up. I think Diary of a wimpy kid double down by jeff kinney is a good book. About a boy named greg and his daily life. And all the funny things that happen to him and obstacles he faces throughout the story. I would recommend this story to anyone who loves a good laugh. This book never fails to make me laugh. I think its a great series that portrays gregs everyday life and what he's doing. If you want to read a hilarious story about greg's everyday life and challenges read diary of a wimpy kid double down.
