He dreads the lectures he gets from his dad and is sad because he won’t let him play basketball due to his grades. However, at the end, Greg’s attitude is more positive and this is due to his meeting with Lemon Brown, who tells him to treasure the lessons he learns from his father. He starts looking forward to his lectures and receives them with a positive and happy mindset because this is how his dad expresses his love for him.
