The character I have chosen is Greg Heffley from the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid( by Jeff Kinney).The character archetypes I would chose for the character are, a loner, because Greg seems to be one of those people others want to stay away from. Greg is sometimes with his best friend, but he wants to be cool and his friend isn't helping him with that, so, he tries to stay away from him. I would also describe this character as a fool. I think Greg is a fool because he is trying to be cool, but because he is staying away from his only friend, its not really helping him out a whole lot. Greg seems to be the type of person that thinks he is doing something right, but messes up at the last minute. Greg tries to come up with goals and plans but in the end they backfire. Just recently in the book I'm reading, he was trying to think of a way to hide this fact that he made his soccer team lose there first time, just because Greg wasn't paying attention to the game. (page 152) Did you remember to bend your knees? asks Greg's father. Mmhmm.. Greg replied.
(page 153) A "Blown" Opportunity
Red socks goalie Gregory Heffley takes a break from the action as a fifty yard kick by Demon Dawgs midfielder James Byron rolls in. The score ended the socks' bid for an undefeated season. Was how Greg's plan happened to backfire.
Good blog post. I like how you had some examples to support your reasoning's. I think you were very detailed in this blog and I can see how you put some time and effort into it. Maybe next time add a quote showing a specific example of one of Greg's character archetypes.
