The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole

This is the charming, hilarious and explicit diary of a British teenager who lives in a modern suburban setting. Adrian, an only child whose parents' marriage is in crisis, records his experiences and observations of life from New Year's Day, when he is 13 3/4, until his fifteenth birthday.

  1. 1. I think that a only child is someone who is sometimes a little egocentric, because his/her parents only have to pay attention in him/her, and since he is a chils he don't havo to share his toys, sweets, etc with someone else. On the other hand, a only child is a strong and independent person who don't need someone else to live. He/she has to live without help from other person, and it provides him strength and ingenuity.

    2. I expect to read some funny adventures and some problems, like his first girlfriend, his arguments with his friends, and everything related with a teenager boy who is 14 years old.

  2. 1.- I think something like Mr. Camacho, but... That depend to his parents too, because if his parents don´t pay attention to he, he won´t be a egocentric person.

    2.- I hope read something amazing, because the fourteeners life isn´t too much interesting, he go to the cinema wiht his friends, he go to the school, his parents don´t understand he... Thas would be bored

  3. 1. I think the same as Mr.Camacho and Mr.Dani but although depend to his parents, be a only child has advantages and disadvantages. The principal advantage is that a only child don't have to share his toys.. and the principal disadvantages is that a only child can become in a selfish child.
    2. I want to think that funny things because if I don't read often, and the book is boring...

  6. 1. I think that an old child may be like an old friend that I have since six years. He was greedy and very spoiled because he had all he want. Then I think is like a little monster created by all of this.

    2. I hope read a lot of pranks made by Adrian.

  8. 1 In my opinion an only child can be egocentric because he has all the attention of his parents just for him. But all depends his parents, he can also be an independent child but I agree with Mª Luisa an only child can be selfish because he always had everything just for him.

    2. I expect to read about his friends and his first girlfriend. Also I hope read about his holidays and intersting things. I hope that the book will be funny and easy for read.

  9. I'd like to know how you "know" that in the book Adrian's first girlfriend appears/ turns up... It's a bit suspicious!!! Did someone tell it to you?

  10. 1-My opinion about an only child is de same that my colleagues.I think too that these boys are very egocentric because their parents only pay attention in the action of her/him boy or girl and they would be ruding the boy's/girl's live.These person are very selfish(MªLuisa and Raquel are very accurates in their opinion at the same with me).I am very happy because I have three brothers so I am not an only child!

    2-I hope to read many affaires about this boy with his friends.Besides I like the scared historys so I hope to read many scenes of this.Finally I hope that the book is very interesting for all the classroom.

  13. 1- I think that the only childs may be very boring all the day. The childs need brothers to play, i have three littles brothers and they are playing all the day.

    2- I dont know, i think that i will read things that one child with 14 years old can make: (play football, his girlfriends, probably, any problem with her parents...)

  14. I think that be an only child have advantages and disadvantages. An advantage is that you can have anything you want and a disadvantages is that it must be boring because you are alone in your house with your parents and you do not have anybody in spite of whom speaking. The only child are spoiled, because the parents consented to everything.
    I have five brothers and I would not be an only child. I do not understand people who do not like to have brothers.

  17. 1. I think that to be the only son has to be sad, because you do not have anybody nearby with that you have sufficient confidence to tell them your things when you should need it. I do not believe that it is an advantage for the fact that they are going to give you mas sew to you for being the only son and that consent you in everything.

    2.I believe that the book is going to treat of the infancy of Adrian, of the way who sees the things and lives through them together with his friends.

  18. 1.I think like my partners, the only children haven't got any friend like a sister or btoher to play with him or her. I know many only children and theirs parents love them very much. I'm not only children.
    2. I think we are going to read a sad children in bad situation with his family and friendship.

  19. 1. I Think that the only children (like me) fell alone and boring because they haven't got any sisters or brothers for play or told his secrets, problems... but usually they are very dear.

    2. I believe that i'm going to read his secrets because... ¡it's his diary! haha! =)

  20. 1.For me to be the only son is to be a bit boring because you haven´t anybody to play , you don´t even have anybody to tell him your problems or the things that make you feel well. It is nice to have brothers and this way to learn to share. If you are the only son, you can become a capricious child who does not value what has, though it also depends much on the education that the parents give you.


    2.I expect to read experiences especially loving and familiar.Also with the age of 13 years, both the boys and the girls we worry very much for the physicist, so also I wait to meet histories like that

  21. 1. I think that the only children have more advantages, because all of them receive the inheritance for themselves and it's good because they haven't fights between brothers.

    2. I really hoped that the experiences about a 14-year-old boy were very similars at the book, but this depend on each child.

  22. 1- I think that the only childrens are very spoiled by his parents because they haven´t brothers.
