Character Analysis: =**The story is about Gregory and Rowley. Gregory is a person that seems like he just doesn't care, only about himself. "Rowley asks for a break from pulling Greg, and Greg says it's only three more blocks(pg. 1)."**= =**Rowley is a person that is still like a little kid "Last year Rowley's mom bought him some shoes with laces, and I can't even tell you how many times I had to bail him out. I guess it probably should've been a warning sign that my best friend doesn't know how to tie his shoes."**=

Setting Analysis: =**The main setting is at school. "Rowley is basically like a little kid. He told me once that he avoids older kids at school because he thinks he is going to catch puberty (pg. 19)." Rowley's mom and dad get Rowley someone to play with named Cool Brian. Rowley quit hanging out with Cool Brian because he thinks he's contagious, too. At school, Greg just brags and tries to look cool in front of "Holly Hills". Greg brags about how they're going to get a maid and all that good stuff.**=

Problem Analysis: =**The problem is Greg's maid is sleeping in Greg's bed and eats all the chips. Greg's problem is he tries to wake himself up without his dad waking him up. Greg was so sleepy one day and fell asleep on the wall and while he was asleep his arm fell and pulled the fire alarm. Rowley's problem is that he gets a pimple. Ever since Rowley got his pimple he always brags and Greg wants a pimple or a hair.**=

Recommendations: =**I recommend this book for Middle Grade students because it talks about older kid stuff. The genre of the book is realistic fiction. People who like books about trouble would love this book.**= =**HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!!!!**=
