Characters
Gregory Heffley
The main character, Greg, has trouble with family, friends, and his local middle school. He
tries to fit in in his neighborhood and usually does not succeed. Facing many troubles, Greg
handles them very "creatively."

Greg's best friend. He is always willing to do what Greg tells him and is going on vacations
all the time, which annoys Greg. Rowley is a loyal friend from lots of people's perspectives.
Manny Heffley
Greg's "spoiled" little brother. He NEVER gets in trouble no matter what, even when he
really deserves it. Manny is three years old.
Rodrick Heffley
Rodrick is Greg's older brother and he never misses a chance to terrorize Greg, Rodrick is
part of a band called ' The Loded Diper. Rodrick will do anything to embarrass Greg and will
even wind up Manny to make everyone's life a misery.

FAVOURITE CHARACTER:
In this book byJeff Kinney, my favourite character is Greg. He is my favourite character
because he thinks the world revolves around him. It is funny how he thinks that he doesn't
care about anyone but himself. If he doesn't get what wants he will get mad. He is lazy and he
thinks everyone has to work for him,like when he was in kindergarten when they had to clean
up he just sang the clean up song when the rest of them cleaned up. He believes everything
his brother says. Like when he Rodrick (his brother) told him when he ate watermelon seeds
that a watermelon will grow in his stomach. That is why he is my favourite character.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK?
I've got this book for my summer vacations and I finally got the chance to read it.It's pretty
good. It's a fun little read, and has positive messages about owning up to your mistakes, being
grateful for the things you have, and the importance of family and friends, even though Greg
doesn't seem to learn from them.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was born on 27 January 1832 and died on 14 January 1898),
better known by his pen name,Lewis Carroll ,was an English
writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous
writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as
well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre
of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are
societies in many parts of the world (including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States,
and New Zealand
[3]
) dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the
investigation of his life.
CHARACTERS
Alice - The seven-year-old protagonist of the story. Alice believes that the world is orderly
and stable, and she has an insatiable curiosity about her surroundings. Wonderland challenges
and frustrates her perceptions of the world.
The White Rabbit - The frantic, harried Wonderland creature that originally leads Alice to
Wonderland. The White Rabbit is figure of some importance, but he is manic, timid, and
occasionally aggressive.
The Queen of Hearts - The ruler of Wonderland. The Queen is severe and domineering,
continually screaming for her subjects to be beheaded.
The King of Hearts - The coruler of Wonderland. The King is ineffectual and generally
unlikeable, but lacks the Queens ruthlessness and undoes her orders of execution.
The Cheshire Cat - A perpetually grinning cat who appears and disappears at will. The
Cheshire Cat displays a detached, clearheaded logic and explains Wonderlands madness to
Alice.
The March Hare - The Mad Hatters tea-time companion. The March Hare takes great
pleasure in frustrating Alice.
The Dormouse - The Mad Hatter and March Hares companion. The Dormouse sits at the
tea table and drifts in and out of sleep.
The Gryphon - A servant to the Queen who befriends Alice. The Gryphon escorts Alice to
see the Mock Turtle.
The Mock Turtle - A turtle with the head of a calf. The Mock Turtle is friendly to Alice but
is exceedingly sentimental and self-absorbed.
Alices sister - The only character whom Alice interacts with outside of Wonderland.
Alices sister daydreams about Alices adventures as the story closes.
The Knave of Hearts - An attendant to the King and Queen. The Knave has been accused of
stealing the Queens tarts.
The Mouse - The first Wonderland creature that Alice encounters. The Mouse is initially
frightened of Alice and her talk about her pet cat, and eventually tells the story of Fury and
the Mouse that foreshadows the Knave of Hearts trial.
The Dodo - A Wonderland creature. The Dodo tends to use big words, and others accuse
him of not knowing their meanings. He proposes that the animals participate in a Caucus
race.

MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER
In the book Alice in Wonderland, My favourite character would be Alice. I like how she goes
on a massive adventure and meets loads of creative people and animals, like Top Hatter and
the rabbit who always looks at his clock.
WHAT I LIKED MOST ABOUT THE BOOK
I enjoyed this book because it had an interesting adventure in it. Also Alice has a great
personality and such a great sense for adventure. She meets a white rabbit who works for the
queen of hearts and yes she is a mean character. The queen always has to get what she wants
when she wants it. Also her helpers planted white roses so Alice tried to help them paint them
red. But the queen of hearts found out so she wanted their heads chopped off. In the end Alice
gets back home and she really had a great time in her wonderland.
