Diary of an Awesome, Friendly kid book review

     A new book was released by one of my favorite authors on April 9, 2019, a date that's just behind the window. Though, Diary of an Awesome, Friendly kid was different from the typical, state of the art, series. It was based on the adventures of Rowley Jefferson, at least the first and last few pages were. Mainly it was a biography of Greg Heffley, a so-called 'wimpy' teenager who expresses his wacky middle school life and occurrences. I found Kinney's latest book to be exclusive and fantastic, so besides a few negative, cliche notes, I will have aforementioned several positive aspects of this fresh bestseller. Enjoy!!

Humor

     Now, let me just mention that all of the books in the Wimpy kid series are hilarious, but this book brought up a second hand type of unique humor; humor from the point of view of Rowley, second person. My lips are curved because Kinney chose not to make this novel about Rowley, because Rowley is a sentimental, dull, kid. The splendid thing about him, though, is that he is gullible, and I can see why Greg circled him as the number one target for his top-notch pranks. An example would do fine in this case. Firstly, Greg bamboozled Rowley into thinking that just because he upped his grade by one alphabet, Rowley's job opportunity would rocket, and that he owed Greg big time. Rowley didn't think of that trick up his sleeve when Greg owed him. Guess what comical m.o of  "owing" Rowley undertook later on? Another time, Greg tricked the naive Rowley into believing that a static force field would electrocute him if he tried to cross over to the other side of Greg's room, making it impossible for Rowley to do his business. Read this book if you want to assimilate the insane event that took place after that!

Action & Suspense

     This novel also consists of two significant components in any awesome book: action and suspense. Needless to say, Greg always has the better of Rowley, and leads Rowley on mischievous misadventures, haunted prophecies, etc, and scornfully leaves him hanging(one time literally). For example, on their first unsuccessful sleepover, they indulge in a terrifying horror movie, and go head over heels to escape from the treachery in the basement. Though, guess who, or what  this monster really was? Also, while Greg and Rowley were strolling(or in Rowley's case, trembling) through the woods, Rowley tripped over what Greg prophesied to be a horrific tombstone, and he abandoned Rowley and his ankle to get help. Of course though, Greg got a tad distracted. Finally, a candid page-flipper, would be Greg and Rowley's secluded 'study duet'. After a nighttime battle with sleep and hectic studies, Greg proposes to cheat of Rowley, convincing him in a decisive manner. Is Rowley that gullible? Read this book to find out.

Relatable

     What could be better than humor, action and suspense? You got it: Relatable-ness. No sane organism would want to read dull material regarding matters you've never experienced, on top of which adult-ish matters. The icing on the cake is that this book was not only created for entertainment purposes, but also because children world wide can relate to it. Some methods of this involve one of the last chapters in this book. Most children have had sleepovers in their time, and acknowledge the glory of it. Thus, children can imagine the excitement and anticipation of Greg and Rowley when they had a two night sleepover. Even more, kids can relate to what they had when they were stuck with each other and their orange spirits had turned blue; a minor war. Also, back to the graveyard scene, friends tickling each others sensitive points and abandoning them? That covers my relationship with my buddies with exactitude. What can make a book more omnipresent that all of that (and other scenarios which I would hate to ruin)?

Overall

     All in all, Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid is a Jeff Kinney masterpiece, because it's clashing (in a good way), hysterical, intriguing, and relatable. I wonder when the next book is coming out?
Now that's a wreck of  a cover!

Eulogy of my Grandfather

  What’s Popping my Dearest Dadu, Oh, where can I even begin? All of the things I wanted to tell you, all of the feelings I wanted to feel, all of the memories I waited to etch into that log that ultimately drifted with the currents before I could even extend my arm out for it. I knew one day that this time would come, but how could I expect that day to be so soon? So incredibly, tragically soon. When you passed away, it would be imprecise to say that the emotions came in waves. More so, they came in two parts: the sudden shock and onslaught of sadness at the instantaneous realization of what the word “dead” meant, and the slower, deeper and more excruciating depression that clung onto my soul and still hasn’t let go. And if you weren’t such a good grandfather, such a pure human being, and such a fun and lovable person who in every moment where the alchemist within me brewed up split feelings would without hesitation suck out the poison and put my life before his, that second part ...

Psst… Have You Heard The Gossip?

  Psst… Have You Heard The Gossip? Gossip. You hear it all the time. Or maybe you don’t- all those little tidbits floating around in the air like the stench of stale cheese from hallway to auditorium to friends to colleagues all the way right outside your front door. And you might not even know about it. Did I just make you paranoid? Well, don’t worry, because the topic for this article is one that you may not have foreseen- the brilliant benefits of gossip unbeknownst to much of mankind. Yes, you heard me right. Researchers in the Plotkin Research Group in Mathematical Biology in the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts & Sciences recently assembled a mechanistic math model showcasing the relationship between gossip and cooperation. The authors- Mari Kawakatsu,  Joshua B. Plotkin, and Taylor A. Kessinger- state that gossip can actually help facilitate discussions that hold people accountable for their actions. After all, sources like social media, news, and jou...

  Currently Informed embraces Black History Month By: Aryan Mukherjee February is Black History Month. Great , you say, feigning a smile and then going back to texting your friends racist jokes in your group chat. Now imagine what you’ve done in a more flushed out sense. Millions of African Americans were ransacked, beat, lynched, raped, and had their wills extracted out and burnt to a crisp under excruciating amounts of pain and sacrifice, their struggles so real and so incredibly dark that Black History Month was created to honor their suffering in our history. And you have just slandered that all because times have changed and you refuse to look back. You see, this is not just a special month where you would greet your African American friends with a little more cordiality than would typically be beckoned. Rather, it is a testament to something that many could never even imagine living through- something to be remembered. To briefly sum up, Black History month originated as ...
