The book the Outsiders is similar to the song Praying. The life lesson is that bullying can make others feel worthless and want to show they are just as good as you through possibly risky means. To support this I’ve got a some similarities and differences on both pieces. Here’s the comparison in four paragraphs count the one I’m on.

The similarities are that both have bullying as a common theme. Both are narrated  through the eyes of the main character. Both stories have a “I’m just as good as you” situation. Both do have some type of relationship( Greasers and Socs, bully vs victim, Praying, an abusive relationship.) Lastly both are around modern day.

With a few similarities there some differences. First the stories are told through different people, a 14 year old boy and a young woman. Second One of the bullies is group of rich kids called the Socs and the Other is an abusive boyfriend. The “I’m just as good as part is by 2 different groups, The Socs and Greasers and The abusive boyfriend and the young woman. The last difference is the way the stories are told one is told as memory and other is told at a more current time after the breakup.

In conclusion the lesson is that bullying is bad thing as it can make people feel worthless or make them want to show that they are just as good as you via possibly risky means. The pieces have some similarities and some differences. Mainly in the fact is that bullying is a common theme. The abusive boyfriend and the other from a bunch of rich kids. One off script difference is the narrators are different teen vs young adult.

The outsiders is a book written by S.E Hinton . It takes place somewhere in Texas. The greasers live on the East side of town while the Socs live on the West side. The Socs and Greasers don’t get along and are in somewhat of a feud. Many do fight except for one greaser named Ponyboy Curtis who doesn’t do it a lot.  To me the theme is likely actions can have impacts. This can be seen with the feud and a bit with Darry and people as he is seen punching and scaring Ponyboy enough to run out of the house and out of town due to a murder. Even Darry and Pony fighting has an impact on their brother Soda

 

The theme is developed in the beginning of the story by Darry punching Pony hard enough that leaves the house. At the very start it is implied that Darry is the oldest and in charge of the house and has a  minor thing for yelling. Pony staynig out later than expected makes Darry go “where ya been”, or ” Did you not use your head if we called the cops you and soda might end up  in a boys home.” With the fact that  the Socs bully the Greasers that there’s a somewhat feud between the 2 groups. This is seen a lot as the Socs almost kill Ponyboy and beat Johnny hard enough to almost put him at the almost dead point. With a murder that would probably put Johnny and Pony on a most wanted list. Actions have impacts is basically cause and effect. A scary punch and murder could make one 14 year old leave town.

 

In the middle of the story, after saving some kids from dying in an old abandoned church Pony and Johnny are represented as “heroes” in the local papers. If it weren’t for the Socs’ constant bullying there wouldn’t be a feud or a “Rumble.” Everything has a consequence, good or bad. The Rumble was completely “unnecessary” and the greasers were all up in trying to show they were equals. and not even think about the consequences or the fact that someone could die.( Same goes with the Socs only, they just wanted to reign supreme). At the end of the middle of the story Johnny and Dally are referenced as “a hero and a hoodlum” thanks to what they did.

 

In the end mental cause and effect is, when Pony and Darry fight so much that life is harder on their brother Soda. He lost his girlfriend and now he has to listen to his brothers fight. Mental cause and effect is, in the novel as a more emotional thing.  Back during the middle when Johnny and Ponyboy come home Darry is actually feeling bad rather than immediately get angry and start punching and yelling at Pony again. With so much fighting Soda runs out of the house and he’s probably been dealing with his brothers’ fights that he can’t take it anymore.

 

My counter claim is some really small stuff doesn’t have much effect on the world. Some causes have small effects that only change the minute, not the whole world.  The first morning in  the church was really a bit more on the new and  possibly fugitive life of Johnny and Pony. Some people make huge fusses over the tiniest things. Commonly seen with girls and mostly called Drama queen or king if a boy. Ponyboy make a bit of a fuss over having his hair cut and bleached.

 

As a conclusion Some action have major effects and other not so much. Darry’s scary punch and Bob’s murder causes Johnny and Ponyboy to leave town. After saving kids and coming home Pony learns the Socs have challinged the Greasers to an unnecessary  fight. With failed classes and talk with the teacher, Pony and Darry start getting into fights which mentally hurts Soda and makes his life even harder. All events had some kind of consequence, major or minor.

The novel takes place in modern day. Ponyboy lives in a world where greasers and Socs don’t get along. The socs live on the west side of town and the greasers live on the east side. The socs are the rich kids and the greasers are the poor kids. Even though the greasers leave the soc alone the socs like to pick on  on the greasers. Pony boy lives in a small house with  darry and Soda. and neither of them have alot of money.

Ponyboy is a greaser. He’s sweet and polite, he’s young and smart as well as good and happy. Pony has good grades andis an 8th to freshman. Ponyboy likes family mainly Soda. He also likes a Soc named Cherry.

School meals some like them others don’t. Today school lunches are healthy and free. But in the past they were flavorful delights. What were school lunches like back then and how are they now? Today Students pack or eat the lunches the school provides. Some students find school lunches flavorless or plain bad. And one or two actually find good or decent.  Here school lunches now and then.

School lunches in the past costed money. If you had no money it was PB&J or cheese and crackers. “Back in elementary I had to eat PB&J once because I ran low on lunch money.” Said a former Glenwood park student. Students used checks and money they had or from their parents to pay for lunch. “I gave my daughter a $40 check and that almost ran in like a week.” Said one parent.

By 2014 school lunches got free. You wouldn’t have to pay a single cent. All students have to do is type in an ID number, say their names to a lunch lady, or scan an ID in middle and high schools.  “At first I thought it was free lunches for just that year, but it never stopped.” says a parent. Middle school lunches have options instead of you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.

School lunches didn’t exist in the early 1900s. Back in the 1900s school lunches were served in regular dishes. In the 2010s FWCS lunches as far as I’ve seen are in foil trays are hard plastic plates. Cold lunches back in the 1900s were from street venders and/or from home. Today elementary kids can bring their lunch to school in lunchboxes. Lunch just keeps getting better.

Today Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act sets regulations for nutritious and healthy school lunch, Thank you Michelle Obama. The regulations are 100% whole grains and low sodium level products. There are downsides to the act some districts don’t like what they have to serve. The New York Times says it was hard for lunch ladies to change preference. “So what I said at the end last paragraph isn’t really that true.”

School lunches back in the day were off of vending stands or ate at home, they didn’t exist. When school lunches came around kids loved them. Wing were loaded in sauce. The food was loaded with flavor and practically junk food. Today kids don’t really look forward to lunch. It’s now to them a plate full flavorless food.  We can blame Healthy Hunger-Free Kid Act for that.

Why do students hate school lunches? Answer the lunches taste bad. Students used to eat junk food and it sounds like they actually liked it.  Today the students leave their food barely touched and leave lots of waste. Lunch ladies have even lost money do to it. Lunch got free and healthy but kids hate their meals.

Lunches in the past were flavorful and loaded in junk. They were served on basic dishes. A few cents or more could get you lunch off a stand. Today your food is served in foil or plastic trays. “And we find school lunch a flavorless and bad meal.” says some sBMS students. While they are free and healthy, they are terrible. Although there are some who are actually ok with the meals. What do think about today’s food and do you think we should we have old fashioned junk?

Dear Mr Hoering,

The story I am reading is A tale dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz. The story starts with Before Hansel and Gretel’s birth and ends with them as the new rulers. Out of all the Character I kind of like Hansel because he more character development than his sister. Hansel goes from selfish and irresponsible kid to mature and smart king. Hansel displays these development through his adventures in Hell. and his time with his sister after being reunited. Except he is still a bit careless. The book is bloodier than other book’s I’ve read. A tale dark and Grimm is scarier than other books I’ve seen. The format is different  than I’ve seen. The author comes in and talks. The book has lots of little kid warnings due to blood and scary stuff. I would recommend this book to whoever likes blood, scariness, and the Grimm fairy tales. Some of the outhor’s pop up moments have some humor. My reading habits are about the same. I’m an on and off reader. My skill hasn’t changed by a lot . I try to get into the classics.

What surprises me is the chapter are basically a bunch of stories linked together. The other part is the main protagonists are fertuenal twins.

sincerely

Alicia Reynolds.

The last book I read was Paul and the bright light. Now i’m reading A tale dark and Grimm. It’s the story of Hansel and Gretel, but with a much different story. I chose it because I wanted to try and finish it.
