* {{non-giving up school guy}}: Mr. Morrison in ''Don't Care High''. It's a losing battle at first, but he's justified in trying and with some unexpected help from the {{odd couple}} of the book, things do turn around.
Added DiffLines:
** Hilariously, in edition to the smarter twin, ''Our Man Weston'' also has Mr. Knight, the {{big bad}}/{{punch-clock villain}} fill this role, as he's one of the three characters without any irritating nerouses (and of the others, Tom Weston is too busy trying to keep his brother out of trouble and Lawrence Waghorn just wants to work on his screenplay). Knight is a professional spy trying to steal a government plane, and yet he's the only one a the hotel whose able to stop and, through cursory observations, figure out exactly what's going on with everyone else (eg: that Mrs. Fuller thinks Mr. Kitzel is a spy while Mr. Kitzel thinks that she's a government agent after him for lying on his tax returns, and that Sidney Weston is looking for a spy but has no credibility or suspicions towards Knight and his accomplice), reflects on it with amusement and continues his plan.

The subversion comes in that while stating that he'll come in first in nearly everything, he freely admits that he'll gladly accept a bronze medal in boxing, having been knocked out by a three-year-old during practice.

* AntiClimax: In ''The D- Poems of Jeremy Bloom: A Collection of Poems About School, Homework, and Life (Sort Of)'', the poem "A Perfect Afternoon" has the narrator talk about how he's feeling very creative today and all the wonderful things he could do. For example, he could hollow out a tree to build a kayak, carve a nearby rock into a famous sculpture, write an opera, or create a blown-glass masterpiece. Then in the last line, he reveals that he won't actually be doing any of these things because his father is making him mow the lawn instead.

* CryingWolf: In ''The D- Poems of Jeremy Bloom'', the narrator of the poem "Why I Was Late" comes to school late every day for a week, always giving a ridiculous excuse (an asteroid enveloped Earth in a time-distortion field which means he's actually on time, he had to tiptoe around an unexploded atomic bomb in his front yard, etc.). On Friday, his excuse is actually plausible: he missed the bus because he had to rescue the family cat from a tree, and he couldn't ride his bike to school because he left it in the driveway and his father accidentally backed the car over it. He insists that he was telling the truth this time -- honest -- but his enraged teacher refuses to listen.

The hitch of the story is, from beginning to end, the kid they pick is such a nondescript cipher that they never figure out anything at all about him. Not his real address, not his phone number, not his pastimes, they never see his home or his family, all his previous addresses and schools don't or no longer exist... they even go so far as to break into his confidential records and find literally nothing in it. And at the end of the story the kid simply disappears — "moved to another town" — and his forwarding address is nonexistent as well. A cipher from beginning to end.
