Essay Topics

1.

Greg Heffley is an unreliable narrator in Double Down. Have you read any other books with unreliable narrators? How did those narrators compare with Greg? Write a compare and contrast essay explaining your answer.

2.

Unlike many book protagonists, Greg is not a dynamic character. His character does not undergo a major change over the course of Double Down or in any of the Wimpy Kid books. Discuss the pros and cons of Greg as a static character and its effect on the narrative. Cite specific examples from the text to support your argument.

3.

Write your own diary entry, either relating one of your own adventures or creating a fictional adventure for Greg. Include illustrations to accompany your story.
