The outsiders 

Book Report

“I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.” 

PonyBoy (the main character) he is a very shy and quiet kid, and his brothers, Sodapop, the middle brother which is always happy an very handsome and Darry which takes care of his brothers since their parents died, the biggest brother, he works a lot and is very hard to Pony. Pony, Soda and Darry are greasers. A group of poor teenagers. Their gang are all greasers, Dally the leader; Two-bit, the oldest of the gang; Steve, Soda’s best friend and Johnny, the gangs pet. They have hard lives or been through some bad stuff/moments. There is this other group, which are against the Greasers, this ones are wealthy and rich teenagers, the Socs. They often like to beat the greaser up just for fun.

One day Johnny was walking when suddenly a group of Socs appear. One hit him, the worst part was that his was wearing heavy rings. Late on, Dally, PonyBoy and Johnny went to the movie. in front of them, there were two beautifull girls enjoying the movie. Cherry and Marcia. Socs. They have a good time together. When they were going toward home, Cherry Soc boyfriend “Bob” appear. Turns out that Bob was the guy that has beaten up Johnny back then. It was late by then, when PonyBoy arrived home, Darry was furious at him, they started fighting. Pony felt so bad that he decided to run to the park with Johnny just to be away from home. In the park Bob and his gang of Socs saw them and they started hitting them and stuff. Johnny took out his blade and accidentally stabbed Bob until he died. Johnny and Pony were scared and they went with Dally so he could give them advice. Dally told them go to a church out of town for a couple of days. They stayed there talking to each other about poetry. They get along pretty well. Dally came over to visit. Johnny and Ponyboy wanted to admit to the police that they were the guilty ones of what happened to Bob. But the church catches fire. They saved a few children and then... you should read the book if you want to know what happened. 

This book is written in 1st person. Ponyboy tells the story. It is a fiction book, and it is drama. This is really an interesting and fun reading book. While I was reading this book, I think everything was happening so slow, but at the same time, in one chapter it came a lot of different things.

The main characters are Ponyboy, Sodapop, Dally, Darry and Johnny. Ponyboy, the story is from his point of view. He has light brown, almost-red long hair and greenish-gray eyes, intelligent, small, good build and 14 years old. Sodapop sixteen-going-on-seventeen,always happy, handsome, slimmer, dark-gold hair, dark eyes and he undesrtand eveyone. Dally is never sorry, looks like his father, but acts the opposite, broad-shoulders and muscular, dark brwon hair, blue-green eyes and he looks older, cool, smart. Johnny 16 years old, black eyes, his father abuse of him, looks like 14, gangs pet, jet black hair, and dark skin color. And Dally is my own personal favorite he is rebel, white blond hair, ice-nblue eyes, long hair, jumps little kids, dangerour mood and big. The other caracthers are minor like, Steve, Two-bit, Cherry, Tim, Bob and Randy.

Sodapop

Sodapop is my favorite character, the most interesting. I like him best.  In the book they describe him as movie-star handsome. Firstly, he is awesome, very attractive and flirty with girls, reminding me of a friend. His actions indicate he is a very generous guy, nice to others, friendly and very good with girls. He is pretty.

My friends blogs

On Tuesday, we have to read 3 friends blogs and leave at least two comments. I read Iram's blog, Moni`s blog and Daniel`s blog. I found this interesting because we all have very different style and we all write very distinct way. Moni`s blog was very creative and colorful, I enjoy watching it, she had some capitalization mistakes. Iram`s blog was very interesting, he shows all his feelings. He had some spelling mistakes. And Daniel`s blog was very interesting. I feel like I know my friends better.

Scattegories

Scattegories is a game we played in english class. In this game Mr. Jeremy should tell us a word and we should come up with verbs that fit that word. For example he would say something like "politely" and we would say words like; wave, talk, whisper, kiss, etc. The challenging part was that we only have 1 minute and we should write as much words as posible. Then Mr.Jeremy would check the words in front if the class, and if a team has the same word as another team it does not count and the wolrd is crossed out of the list. This game has aproximately 2-3 rounds, and theres 4-6 persons per team . The winner is determined on how much words=points your team has. And the team that wins recives half book credit. I really enjoy this game.

Today we arrived to the classroom and Mr. Jeremy told us we would do a blog to have it throughout the year, to post projects, vocabulary, and journal entries. The steps we follow in the creation of our blog were easy. First we had to enter isrmail and search form I Blogger, then we created an account. We started designing it and making it our personal blog. We learned how to post and everything. I like the project it is very creative and fun.
