Theme – I thought the theme was family oriented. The theme and characters displayed many different moods. Some of these moods include Happy, Sad, Jealous and spiteful. I personally feel like it was sad and unkind how Rodrick did Greg by spreading his secret, nonetheless, it only proves to us that we must not throw rocks if live in glass house. I felt relieved to know that they were able to get along at the end.
