Have you ever been overconfident about things? Have you ever thought you are better than other kids at sports or video games? Have you ever felt you were more popular than people you know? In the story "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney Greg find himself thinking he is better than everyone else. 

Greg thinks he's better at their madeup game. In their made-up game, where you throw a ball to the person in the big wheel. He says that he is better than Rowley at the game but he says that Rowley is better at riding than throwing so he should be the rider. This proves my claim because he is being over confident because he is saying he is better at Rowley, When actually Rowley is  quite better at throwing.

Greg thinks he is better at winnin award than Rowley. When He looks in his brother’s old yearbook he realizes that he could win a lot of popular awards like class clown, most likely to succeed, and best-dressed. He realizes that he thinks he is better than everyone by saying "I could win all of these!" This proves my claim because he is saying he is funnier and most likely to suceed and best dressed when in fact he isn't any if those.

Greg thinks he is better at Rowley at Video games. When they start playing there favorite game, Twisted Wizard, He says "I am better so I should play first, you second." This proves my claim because he is being over confident by saying he is better even though Rowley is better. 

So my claim is that Greg Heffley is overconfident. He thinks he is better than everyone at stuff even though he really isn't.
