Diary of a wimpy kid Character Close-up : Rowley Jefferson

Personality

Rowley is Greg's best friend who usually helps Greg with his schemes, although Greg sees him as immature and ignorant. He has overprotective parents who dislike Greg. Rowley is somewhat foolish and naive as he usually listens to Greg while he is concocting a scheme. He is an only child and, according to Greg, a "vain fool." Rowley gets a lot of attention from the girls in his grade only because he is "cute" in a little kid way, according to Holly Hills. He was falsely accused of chasing kindergartners with a worm on a stick, which was actually Greg wearing Rowley's coat. He then told on Greg to the principal and Greg lost his duty on safety patrol. He did not forgive Greg when he apologized, so they weren't friends for a while, but they quickly got over it. Rowley was briefly the cartoonist of the school newspaper comic, "Zoo-Wee Mama!". Rowley also received the honor for being class clown. He had also eaten a piece of moldy cheese after being forced by some teenagers in the first book. In the third book, Rowley earns the nickname "Slick" only because he was shooed away from a locker another student sarcastically saying "step away from my locker, Slick". He also is shown to have younger children interests, such as childish birthday parties, childish toys and a fan of 'Joshie', who Greg believes is for six-year old girls. He also loves to visit newer countries, and imitates the culture of the countries he visits. In the movie, he is pictured as a little more sensitive, independent, and less close to Greg. He is also seen to be somewhat modest.

 Appearance

Rowley is a bit overweight and is shown wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts. In the winter, he is shown wearing a hat, ear muffs, a scarf, and a coat. In the movie, he usually wears a sweater vest. His mouth is open all the time in the books. He is played by Robert Capron. 

Relationship with Greg

Rowley, being Greg's best friend, hangs out with Greg a lot and often goes around in Rodrick's "junk drawer" with him to look for horror movies and through Rodrick's personal belongings. Although Rowley is treated poorly for Greg's own desires at the beginning of the series, it is clear in book 4 that he is losing patience with Greg. Rowley is not very manly and this is starting to get on Greg's nerves. They are both getting on each others nerves a lot, and they are starting to drift apart. In The Ugly Truth, Greg and Rowley have stopped being friends, but they become friends again at the end of the book.

 Relationship with Fregley

Rowley has not many interactions with Fregley, but he dislikes him, like Greg due to him being weird and disgusting. and offered him and Greg pizza from the garbage

Diary of a wimpy kid Character Close-up : Greg Heffley

Personality

In the books, Greg is depicted as underweight, selfish, greedy, absurd, idiotic, and rude also lazy (which he already knows he is). However, unlike his brother, Greg has been shown to show remorse for his actions and enjoys sleeping, which is shown more strongly in the movie. He explains that he is good at nothing except video games, which he spends most of his time playing. He grows an interest of drawing comics for the school newspaper before he quits when Mr. Ira, a teacher at his school who edits the comics, ruins it by trying to use it as an ad for the school's library. Greg comes up with many different ideas and sub-jobs, including becoming a safety patroler in school. He also has a crush on Holly Hills until the end of The Last Straw, where he decides it wouldn't work out because she mistakens him for Fregley. He began to have a crush on a new girl that moved to his street, called Trista, but it seems like she didn't have any interest in him. Greg later began to impress Heather Hills when she became a life guard at the town pool, but that didn't work either. It is presumed that Greg's family believes in the Catholic Christian faith because they attend church and in the visual novel Greg goes to confession. Greg often tries avoiding certain events (such as being in a school play) or to achieve a goal (such as impressing a crush), but almost all of Greg's scheme's fail and sometimes leads to serious, frustrating, and always unfair outcomes. He also has a huge uncomfort for Fregley. However, it also seems to be that he is becoming more active in sport, school and less of video gaming.

Appearance

Greg is usually depicted with a T-shirt and black shorts. In the winter he wears a small coat and black pants. He is very skinny and does not seem to eat or work out much. His father (in the first and third book) tries to get Greg to work out and exercise, but unfortunately for him Greg prefers playing video games and reading comic books..

Rodrick

Rowley

Rowley is Greg's overall best buddy. They met each other when Rowley moved into Greg's neighborhood. They go to the same school and walk there together, and they share 4 classes. Rowley has a number of peculiar characteristics which mostly embarrass Greg but sometimes interest him.

Probably the thing about Rowley that Greg resents the most is his lack of macho and with rather strange interests, such as a "Sweet Secrets" diary, an interest in the band singer Joshie (who Greg thinks might be for six-year old girls, although Rowley thought he was just jealous), sensitivity, love for the comic "Li'l Cutie" (which Greg hates), bumper boats, and kiddie birthday parties, Rowley's not exactly the picture of manliness. In the movie, Greg was talking Rowley into burning a shirt of him and his mom on it that said "Me and my Mommy".

Greg and Rowley have a complex relationship. They are both great friends, but Greg has a habit of treating Rowley poorly and often takes advantage of him for his own selfish desires. Rowley starts out as a pushover in the beginning of the series, being treated poorly by Greg and often following his schemes, but this trait seems to fade away as in the fourth book, as Rowley is starting to lose patience with Greg.

Rowley's dad does not like Greg and uses him as an example of a "bad influence". Although Rowley has been described as "unpopular" by Greg (thinking that he is about the 150th most popular kid in the school), girls seem to like him because he is cute (in a little kid way) and his family is always taking expensive vacations, like going to South America and Australia (as mentioned in the beginning of Rodrick Rules) and renting a log cabin on their trip to the beach late in Dog Days.

Family

Greg has a big family. He has two brothers; Rodrick (older brother) and Manny (younger brother). Frank is his father, and Susan is his mother.

He has six uncles: Gary, Tony, Charlie, Lawrence, Joe, and John, along with a great-uncle, Arthur. Grandpa (Frank's father) and Gramma (Susan's mother) are his grandparents, along with great-grandparents, Chester and Gammie.

He has eight aunts: Linda (Gary's first wife), Charlene (Gary's second wife), Lydia (Gary's third wife), Sonja (Gary's fourth wife), Dorthy, Brenda, Loretta, and Particia, along with John's unnamed wife and a great-aunt, Reba.

He has three cousins: Benjy (a baby whose only words were "No and "Shut Up"), Terrence (who looked exactly like Greg when he was a kid), and Byron, along with Joe's unnamed children.

Diary of a wimpy kid Movie: Rodrick Rules

The film opens with Greg (Zachary Gordon) and his family attending a skating rink for the year's new Seventh Graders. Here he reunites with his best friend Rowley (Robert Capron) and classmates Fregley (Grayson Russell) and Chirag (Karan Brar). Chirag tells Greg of the new girl, Holly Hills (Peyton R. List), who immediately becomes Greg's love interest. While attempting to skate with Holly, Greg's older brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick) intervenes, ending with their mother (Rachael Harris) speaking to him on the loudspeaker and further humiliating him by getting Greg's father (Steve Zahn) carrying him off the rink. As weeks go by, Greg's mom notices that the boys do not get along, and calls for a family meeting. She gives them a new incentive to get on together by rewarding them with "Mom Bucks", which they can trade in for real money. The boys eagerly accept and compete with each other to earn the Mom Bucks.

After a talent show is advertised on TV, the brothers see this as a big opportunity, Rowley suggesting he and Greg perform magic tricks, whilst Rodrick sees this as his band's big break. Greg and Rowley film Rowley lip-synching "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha and upload it to YouTube, which becomes an online hit, although only for two days.

On Sunday, the Heffley family goes to church. Greg is extremely reluctant to go inside, as a melted 3 Musketeers bar, intentionally placed on his seat by Rodrick, has stained his trousers. Greg's mom uses her blouse to cover up the stain, but the cover-up backfires when the family go to take communion and Rodrick exposes Greg's pants and the boys ultimately end up in a scuffle on the floor.

As punishment the brothers spend are to spend a weekend together to bond, whilst their parents and youngest brother Manny leave on a pre-planned holiday for the entire family. Against his parents' orders, Rodrick hosts a party at the house and locks Greg up in the basement. Rowley comes to 'save' Greg, but Rodrick locks him up in the basement as well, until a call from their mother ends in Rodrick letting the two out in return for their silence on the matter.

The next day the two get a call from their mom informing them Manny is sick and they're returning early from their vacation. The house is trashed, and the boys only have an hour to clean it up and erase all evidence of the party before their parents arrive home. A door marked with 'Rodrick Rules' in permanent marker leads the brothers to replace it, before realizing it has no lock. Their mother notices it after a while, causing Greg to confess. However, in order to prevent Rodrick from getting angry at him (Rodrick previously had told him to "deny everything"), he says the party was only a band rehearsal, and the two escape punishment. Rodrick, thinking Greg did deny everything, tells Greg he's 'not as half as lame as he thought', and the two brothers become friends. Greg asks Rodrick for advice on Holly Hills, but his attempts fail and embarrass him instead.

The boys sneak out of the house one night to put fake vomit on the cars in the nearby mall parking lot. After suprising various people returning to their cars, the two put the fake vomit on one last car only to discover the owner to be Coach Malone (Andrew McNee), Greg's soccer coach. After a chase, the two manage to escape the angry soccer coach by putting their jackets on two mannequins, which the coach then tackles, giving the boys time to go back home.

Greg and Rodrick return home only to find that their father has inadvertently come across photos of the party. The boys are punished, Greg is grounded for two weeks with no video games, and Rodrick is grounded for two weeks and is not allowed to participate in the talent show. The brothers instantly go back to their former relationship and spend the weekend with their grandfather in his retirement home. Whilst there, Greg runs into Holly, who was visiting her grandmother, and it is revealed they have identical families. Holly gives him some advice and the two part, Greg feeling more positive.

Greg then proceeds to write his positive feelings about Holly on his Diary which Rodrick gets ahold of and reads. Rodrick then threatens to tell Holly and runs towards the lobby to do so. Greg, despite being in his underwear, chases after Rodrick and manages to snatch away the diary and runs towards the bathroom and starts ripping out the pages of the diary and flushes them down the toilet. However, he discovers he is in the ladies' room, but manages to evade the angry women who think he is a Peeping Tom. He arrives back in only to find that Rodrick caught everything on tape via security camera and threatens to show it to everyone.

At the talent show a few nights later, Rowley's performance is unable to take place, as his eight-year-old assistant Scotty gets stage fright. Greg's mom says he will do the show with Rowley, but Greg refuses, saying he doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of Holly. Meanwhile Rodrick is kicked out of his own band by Bill Walter (Fran Kranz), who gives the excuse "That's rock'n'roll for you". Greg then bargains with his mom to allow Rodrick to perform, if he will perform with Rowley. The Magic show is a hit with the audience and Holly Hills meets Greg backstage whilst other girls are getiing Rowley's autograph and tells him she loved their show. Rodrick and his band perform, and sing their song Explöded Diper. The crowd isn't impressed, until they see Greg's mom dancing and dance along. Rodrick gets to perform, Greg's mom is happy and overall, Greg is happy having fixed his problems with his family.

The film ends with Rodrick driving Greg to school. Rodrick tells Greg that it was cool of him to let him play last night. The boys forgive each other, then Rodrick gives Greg the tape back, telling him not to talk about it or he'll put it on YouTube. As Greg arrives at school, Rodrick playfully then calls Greg "doofus" and they both smile at each other. Then Greg says "Later buttbrain" and the two boys create a new friendship by realizing it's fun to have a brother.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Movie

11-year-old Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) is anxious to start middle school, confident he will easily become the school's most popular kid. However, Greg worries about how his "childlike" best friend, Rowley JeffersonRobert Capron), will fit in. While Rowley is a good friend who helps Greg escape his terrorizing older brother, Rodrick (Devon Bostick), Greg worries that Rowley's "dorky" clothes and personality will embarrass both of them. (

On their first day, Greg and Rowley meet Angie Steadman (Chloë Moretz), a seventh grader who works for the school's paper. Throughout the school year, Angie gives Greg and Rowley information about the workings of middle school, which she believes was created to store kids while they make the awkward transition between children to teenagers. Classmate Chirag Gupta (Karan Brar) tells Greg and Rowley the story behind the moldy slice of Swiss cheese laying on the school's basketball court; upon touching the cheese, a kid named Darren Walsh (Harrison Houde) contracted the Cheese Touch; anyone who touches the cheese will create chaos as they pass on the Cheese Touch by touching someone else. The Cheese Touch eventually got taken away by a German exchange student named Dieter Müller, who moved back to Düsseldorf and took the Cheese Touch with him.

Greg is determined to be voted a "class favorite" and listed in the yearbook, but each of his attempts to do so backfire. His popularity quickly drops as he loses to Patty Farrell (Laine MacNeil), Greg's archenemy, and Fregley (Grayson Russell), the weirdest and 201st most popular (past the bottom) kid in school, in scholastic wrestling (taught by Coach Malone, portrayed by Andrew McNee); Greg angers teenagers on HalloweenFord F150 pickup truck with a weed whacker; Greg joins the geeky Safety Patrol with Rowley; and breaks Rowley's left hand during winter vacation during a game Greg invented with his Big Wheel. At school, everyone notices Rowley's broken hand and Rowley becomes very popular, much to Greg's dismay. Rowley's popularity increases when he beats Greg to become the school paper's cartoonist, despite Greg's dismissal of his ideas. night by threatening to call the cops on them after they spray him and Rowley with a fire extinguisher, and then damages their eight-generation

Greg and Rowley's friendship falls apart after Greg allows Rowley to take the blame for a mistake Greg made during Safety Patrol. After Greg tells Rowley the truth and tries to tell it as a joke, Rowley berates him for being a bad friend who cares about nothing but himself. When Mr. Winsky, the Safety Patrol teacher, heard what had actually happened, he told Greg that he was now relieved of his Safety Patrol duties "effective immediately", and promotes Rowley to a captain. Rowley then leaves Greg and befriends a kid named Collin Lee (Alex Ferris). Greg tries to move on by having a sleep over with Fregley, but Fregley's sugar-induced hyperactivity is too much for him to take. He then tries to pursue popularity without Rowley by auditioning for the school play of The Wizard of Oz, but the performance is ruined by Patty when she throws a temper tantrum at Greg when he doesn't sing and blames him for the play being ruined and Greg throws an apple at her resulting an apple-throwing fight in the middle of the performance.

At the school mother-son dance, Greg's mother (Rachael Harris) suggests Greg ask Rowley to go out for ice cream with them. However, Collin tells Greg that he and Rowley already have plans. Later, Greg is excited when Rowley comes up to him in school, but is disappointed when he learns Rowley only wants a game back. Greg refuses to return the game, causing them to get into an argument. Kids gather around them, wanting them to fight, but are quickly dispelled when the teenagers that Greg and Rowley had angered on Halloween drive up, looking for revenge. The kids find the Cheese and make Rowley eat it. They are about to force Greg to eat the cheese when Coach Malone arrives, leading the kids to run away.

The children return and find the partially eaten cheese. Patty begins to accuse Rowley, but Greg steps in and takes the blame. He picks up the cheese and makes a profound speech about the ridiculousness of the cheese and other middle school institutions, but Patty ruins it when she shouts out that Greg has the Cheese Touch, causing everyone to run away from Greg. Greg and Rowley make up, and Angie approaches them to compliment Greg for his bravery. Greg and Rowley make it into the class favorites list as "cutest friends". The film ends with Greg, Rowley, and Angie laughing after Patty hugged Rowley and contracted the Cheese Touch, and Greg narrating that he still has the summer and next year ahead of him.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book 5

        

It has been two weeks since Greg Heffley had a big fight with his ex-best-friend, Rowley Jefferson. Then he finds out that Rowley's parents found a replacement best friend: a hired role-model from a company called "Cool Brian".

Greg attempts to score popularity points at school with a textbook that was previously owned by Jordan Jury, the most popular student in the grade above Greg's. He also posts edited photos on the Internet in an attempt to try and convince others that he has a fun life. (which he doesn't)

Greg then attempts to audition for a local ice cream advertisement for an ice cream company called "Peachy Breeze." Greg fails his audition due to him being too old to fit the part for a 3-6 year old. Greg then explains how he is discriminated because of his age by his own family, stating he was the center of attention when he was younger and is now disliked and ignored due to Manny, his younger brother.

Greg is then informed that his Uncle Gary will marry for the fourth time, and that when his wedding comes, Greg will have "The Talk" with his great-grandmother Gammie, a polite but sly and clever old woman.

Susan Heffley, Greg's mother, announces that she will be going back to college for a few months in order to stimulate her mind. As a result, the Heffley men must take care of themselves, and most stability falls apart. Food is often ruined, and Frank Heffley, Greg's father, sprains his ankle, when they try to go out to eat. As Susan usually does the chores around the house, Greg is left with little clean clothes to wear. Greg also complains that he must take more time to do his homework, since Susan often helps in in the way of giving him all the answers, and his father, Frank Heffley, makes him do the work on his own and helping very little. Greg is also given the responsibility of waking himself up. He tries a better alarm clock than his older one, which didn't work, a wind-up clock. Thinking the ticking of it was a bomb, he got no sleep. As a result, Greg accidentally set off the fire alarm at school in his sleep-deprived state, but manages not to get caught.

Greg faces more misfortunes, such as facing a serious, ill-tempered, paranoid dentist instead of going to a fun dentist center where Greg has a crush on one of the hygienists there, failing a high-grade Health classegg like it is a baby, and dealing with an extremely lazy maid who Susan hired to clean the house who refuses to do Greg's laundry, hogs the TV, and takes naps in Greg's bed. assignment, where he must take care of an

At school, a "Lock-In" is organized where boys and girls Greg's age have a supervised slumber party in the school auditorium. It turns out to be a disaster, in which there are nearly no girls, excess amounts of chaperones, all technology is confiscated, boring and risky party games, an incident where the chaperones think one of Greg's team members of a game photographed their buttocks, and a freezing cold night in which the chaperones intentionally turned off the heater and switched on the air conditioner to keep the misbehaving boys in their beds.

Rowley comes to school with a large pimple on his forehead. This makes Greg wonder about his growth spurt. They are then both invited to one of Jordan Jury's notoriously wild parties, in which many girls come. Unfortunately for Greg, the party takes place on the same day as his Uncle Gary's wedding. Greg is humiliated and bored at the wedding, and then receives "The Talk" from Gammie. Gammie explains to Greg the stress and horrors of becoming and being an adult both physically and mentally, which causes Greg to enjoy his late childhood for now.

At this point Greg's mother Susan stops going to college for now to returns to the family, much to Greg's delight. Greg also decided to make the first move and mends his friendship with his ex-best friend Rowley, and the two became friends again.

   

Diary of a wimpy kid Book 4

Diary of a wimpy kid Book 4

The book opens describing Greg's worst summer ever beginning with Greg Heffley and Rowley Jefferson going to Rowley's country club after school closes for the summer, but Greg is kicked out because he complained of even the smallest predicaments. The beach trip that he was looking forward to is canceled because the Heffleys don't have any money; the Heffleys resort to going to the town pool, which Greg dislikes because of its hairy and rotund visitors.^[1]

Later, Greg and Rowley have a sleepover together, and watch a horror movie taken from Rodrick's room. After the movie, Greg and Rowley soon became paranoid on account of a muddy hand that might kill them, which was in the movie. Unfortunately for Greg, his mother, Susan realises that he and Rowley watched the horror movie after Greg's father told her when he found them sleeping in the bathroom. And then she starts a reading club in which he is the only participant after two days. The reading program, however, is put to a stop when Mr. Jefferson arrives with a huge bill that Greg and Rowley spent on fruit smoothies at the country club, and he forces Greg and Rowley to pay it off.^[1]

Greg and Rowley decide to do a lawn care service to pay the debt, but Mr. Jefferson only makes them one flyer for their business, after he tells them they can't use his computer. Their first customer is Mrs. Canfield, who lives on Greg's grandmother's street. Unfortunately, the job ended as a fiasco when the boys never used a lawn mower before, all the gas leaks out of the mower, and the instructions are in Spanish. When Greg tells Rowley he has to do most of the work while Greg counts the money, that made Rowley annoyed and he quits. Greg mows Mrs. Canfield's lawn by himself, but she refuses to pay him because he didn't mow all of her lawn because of the dog poop on there.^[1]

Greg’s birthday soon arrives, but the gifts he receives are all gifts he loathes, including a useless cellphone that only calls home and 911. This is because Greg's parents believe that he, like his older brother Rodrick, will just rise the bill up if he gets a regular cellphone. Greg gets money in every card he receives, but Susan, his mother, confiscates it to pay off Mr. Jefferson. Uncle Joe’s dog, Killer, devours much of Greg’s cake, thus "ruining" his birthday. The following day, he and Rodrick both get fish as a makeup gift, even though it wasn't Rodrick's birthday, which Greg said was "unfair". However, when the family takes a trip to a water park, Rodrick's fish eats Greg's fish after Susan puts Rodrick's fish in the same bowl because Rodrick didn't feed the fish or clean the bowl once and was starting to feed off the algae growing on it.^[1]

The next day is Father's Day, so the Heffleys visit Leisure Towers to spend the day with Greg's grandfather. There, Frank tells of how his dog, Nutty, ran away to a butterfly farm. Greg's grandfather then explains that he had actually run the dog over and Greg's father takes off in annoyance. He then buys a dog which Susan names "Sweetheart" and shortens to "Sweetie", even though the dog is actually male. Even though Greg has wanted a dog for a long time, he quickly becomes annoyed at Sweetie, who naps on his pillow, sleeps on his bed, and won't stop barking at the television, and the only way that gets him to stop barking is when a commercial with gophers popping out of their holes comes up.^[1]

Greg's mother keeps making Greg go to the town pool with her and Manny, which Greg agrees to only to hang out with Heather Hills, who is a female lifeguard there. Greg tries to make a good impression to her, even though she barely pays any attention to him. One day, Greg decides to end the so-called "relationship" when he makes her clean a kid's vomit and was too sick to clean it himself after he had to save Manny from the naked shower people.^[1]

The Jeffersons later invite Greg to go to the beach with them, which is where Greg had wanted to go, but he realises it wasn't what he expected, where he begins to have a breakdown from no electronics, almost got jumped by teenagers he pulled a prank on, and especially the Cranium Shaker, which almost makes Greg vomit. He tries to entertain himself, but he is sent home after he snaps a rubber band at Rowley.^[1]

Susan later tries to get Frank and Greg together, but both of them realise that they should keep their distance. She even got them tickets for a baseball game, but Greg thought Frank was trying to get rid of him for the incident that happened earlier, and calls the police on him, only embarrassed to discover the truth. To get out of it, they had to give the two cops their tickets. However, they both hate much of the same things, such as a comic named Li’l Cutie, where the writer has retired and passed it on to his son (who was possibly the basis of the character when he was little) and has made the comic even worse. Later, Sweetie is given to Greg's grandmother for company after her old dog Henry died.^[1]

The book ends with Greg realizing that summer is over when he sees a photo album titled "Best Summer Ever!" It is a "horrible record" of that summer to Greg, but Greg writes that the person who had taken the pictures had told the story.^[1]
