Robert Capron Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a series of humorous realistic fiction novels, written by American cartoonist and online game designer Jeff Kinney.

The novels follow through the illustrations of Greg Heffley, a male student in middle-school explaining his everyday adventures through his detailed drawings and simple notes.

The first film based on the first book was released in March 2010 by Fox Film 2000 and it was named Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

In Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, Robert played Rowley Jefferson, Greg’s best friend, and sidekick and the deuteragonist of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series in general.

Rowley has overprotective parents who aren’t fond of Greg’s behavior and they assume that he is a bad influence (which for several reasons he is).

Rowley is often seen as an anti-hero in the series, despite being the main character’s best friend. This is because he often does idiotic, nonsensical things, which results in getting Greg in trouble while he gets off scot-free.

For example, he likes a singer called Joshie, whose audience is young children, mainly girls and on Christmas, he gets many childish things even giving Greg childish toys like a Big Wheel.

Rowley is a boy with a thick build and long bowl-shaped hair that is orange and is wider than Greg’s but his hair is golden brown in Rodrick Rules and Dog Days.
