Diary of a wimpy kid production

I think in the diary of a wimpy kid will be about a boy who gets called a wimpy kid because he is scarred and week. His dad wants him to get stronger and less wimpy. In the name of the book the last straw i think it means he’s had enough of being bullied and he will do something about it. His dad thinks that he fools around a lot. Frank haffley will try to change his sons way of fooling around by threatening to send him to military academy. I think greg will shapen up his ways and not have to go to military academy.
