"Dork Diaries: Party Time" is a comedy written in the form of diary. It is about the remarkable life of the leading character Nikki. She is a cheerful girl, and she studies at Westchester Country Day Middle School. Sometimes, Nikki meets some vicious girls who like gossiping behind her back and saying something bad to make her unhappy. Nikki has a love feeling for Brandon. Once, Brandon asked Nikki to be his lab partner in a biology class. She was thrilled, and danced her snoopy “happy dance”. Finally, Brandon invited Nikki to a Halloween Party, and after some hiccups, they have become a couple in the end.
The character I like most is Nikki because I think she is a cheerful and lovely but silly girl. Sometimes, she does some awkward things. For example, once she was screaming in a girls’ washroom and everybody looked at her in astonishment. However, I think she is lovely because when she becomes excited, she will do her signature dance. In another instance, Mackenzie, a mean girl, said something bad about Nikki, but Nikki unexpectedly said sorry. She was polite and calm.
The character I dislike is Mackenzie because she always gossips behind people back and says mean stuffs about Nikki. Once, she was vicious and cruel. She told Nikki, ‘OMG, Nikki! Your hideous green shirt is clashing with your new lip gloss taste and it was giving me a migraine.’ I think she was so mean, and I hate these people and their attitude. She is an arrogant girl and she curses other boy as ‘nerd’ when these boys want to befriend with her.
The most interesting part of the story takes place on Saturday, October of 26th. This story is about Nikki and her sister Brianna who made up a special spray that would make them become a fairy and it is called ‘Fairy Repellent’. First, to make it, they needed ready one cup bottled spring water, three-quarter cup vinegar, half cup strained tuna fish oil, half cup strained sardine oil, one teaspoon ground garlic and one teaspoon onion powder. Then, they mixed it all into bottle and shake for one minute. After that, they stored it for up to 7 days and it was done! I think the spray is so powerful! If we spray it over our body, we can be a fairy, too!
I have learnt a lot form the story. First, I learn how to get along with others. If you want to have more friends, you should say sorry when you make other people unhappy. If others give you something or help you, you should say ‘thank you’ or show your gratitude. Second, you should not say bad things behind others’ back. If you do, no one will want to be your friend. Finally, if you always smile and are willing to help people, you will become generous and kind-hearted, and people will like you more.
I want to be one of the characters, the cheerful Nikki. Sometimes, I feel upset because other people laugh at me. But Nikki does not care about this and she does not mind how others view her. I adore Nikki and I am proud of her. So, I want to be Nikki and this will make me happier and more positive.
This story is the best of its own kind in the market and I truly recommend to you who like reading something creative and ‘unrealistic’.
