Greg is jealous of his brother, who has more friends than he does, is better at sports, and seems to be more successful in life. He tries to emulate his brother's actions but finds it difficult to match his accomplishments.- Greg's younger brother does everything better than he does, from sports, to school, to social life. He truly believes that everyone loves and admires his brother more than him making him feel envious.
- Despite all the differences between them, it is obvious that Greg loves his brother deeply and feels immense envy towards him at the same time.
- In time he began to understand that attempting to outshine his brother was foolish, so instead he worked on building a strong bond with him - something far more precious.
