Man Vs. Man: Greg Vs. Rodrick

The two were arguing and fighting the entire lead up until the trip, and during. Rodrick would always bully Greg, and blame his messes on him. Eventually, they got along.

As he does in every book, Jeff is Narrating as Greg Heffley, telling his own story in first person from the perspective of Greg. He occasionally talks in second person while discussing family situations.

Greg is the main character in the story. He is a sarcastic middle schooler, who is always occupying his mind with an activity to do whether it's playing football with his friend Rowley, or finding a way to make money by selling something, Greg will find a way to make his day full of excitement and activity.

Rodrick is the older brother of Greg, a High schooler who's main mission everyday is to make music with his heavy metal band, and annoy/ pick on Greg. In almost every book, Rodrick is the antagonist, but also deep down loves his little brother. He take him out to eat, taught him how to play drums, and tells/ warns him about the ins and outs of high school.

The overall theme to 'The Long Haul' was to be alert and pay attention because of how easily things can get scary fast. There were many instances in the book where the family got attacked that could've been prevented if they were paying attention to their surroundings.

The 5 main events in order were

1. The big announcement for the trip explaining where they were supposed to be going.

2. The flat tire that stopped them

3. Getting stuck in the woods

4. Having to escape the creatures

5. The repair men helping hen robbing them

For the first part starting out they were between Greg's school and the house. They planned out the trip and discussed all the plans for the trip while being at home.

For most of the duration of the trip, the Heffley family was in their van traveling. They had different complications while driving, but still were determined on getting to their destination.

I think the most significant part of the story was when they let the random guys on the side of the road who said they were mechanics fix their car. They fixed the car, and then stole the family' wallets and valuables, and that switched the whole narrative, because they couldn't spend any money, or basically do anything.

Simile- Greg said his dad was as sneaky as a hunter during hunting season

# data[].attributes.body
Personification- Greg said the car was wheezing and hissing when the tires gave out.

hyperbole- Susan (Mom) Said Greg was hauling 500 pound with his luggage.

# data[].attributes.body
Onomatopoeia- Rodrick told the police the car went "BAM!" when they hit the side of the road

"We could just go to Grandma's house instead." Greg suggested at the beginning of the story, and it would have prevented all of the issues they had.

# data[].attributes.body
"Rodrick shouldn't be the one driving if we are going anywhere farther than the end of the driveway" Frank (Dad) said before they left. Rodrick was the one who popped the tire which started all the drama.

# data[].attributes.body
"Why is Rodrick still driving?" Greg said this after Rodrick popped the tire, and if they would've changed drivers it would've been better for everybody.

# data[].attributes.body
"I don't think we should be trusting two random guys off the side of the road, Susan." Frank said this right before the guys robbed them, and had he spoken up earlier it could've prevented them getting robbed.

Teenage culture, because the teens basically took over. From Rodrick Driving, to Greg being the one trying to guide the trip and tell the family where to go, the family was listening to them the whole time

# data[].attributes.body
Family culture. The family is always together and it promotes families, taking the trip together and spending time with each other on the trip even in the van
