Outsiders Post 1

)I consider family, close relatives and very close friends that you know well.2)The qualities that make up my family are that we are very athletic and willing to do different things. My family is very kind and generous. We snowboard, ride dirt bikes, play basketball, soccer, and ride bicycles.3)No, i don't consider relatives to only be family because if you have a very close friend and comes over you get used to him/her coming over and it is like being family.4)Yes, i think Greasers are family because they always are looking out for each others back. They come in the yell for help. 5)The qualities that make them family is that they help each other and know what to do when someone is in trouble or do something wrong.

Holocaust post 1

"I'm sick of laying on these boards". I was 15 years old. I can remember being at my house and lying on my bed like it was yesterday. Before all this happened.
When i was at home i didn't have to worry about getting enough food or a nice bed. Till the germans came. They seemed like nice people till they started taking all of our jewerly and other items i was wondering why. "Why are you taking our things", Then my dad came home earlier and was talking about that the germans are going to send us to a camp. So the next day i heard my mom saying "wake up" "wake up" my brother and sister and i all ran down to see why where we up so early. Then the germans started to yell at the neighborhood that we have to pack our things, but were only allowed one bag. We were getting deported to a camp. I said"Why are we getting deported" my dad said, "I don't know mabye to make us work" because he heard it fromm some of his friends. We packed a bag full and they sent me hear where i am now.

The outsiders final test.

Sixteen years on the street and you can learn a lot. But, all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn.” This quote applies to PonyBoy.
PonyBoy learned that you should never walk alone even if you could defend yourself at times. He learned to always help someone else in a fight if you can’t take on anyone and that if he yells that someone will always come to his rescue.
PonyBoy liked that not all the greasers are all sad and don’t do anything. He liked that when Darry fell onto Two-bit that everyone else did gymnastics because of Darry teaching them because they could use it in a fight. PonyBoy liked that him and Johnny are different then all the other greasers because they don’t like fights as much as the others, they are smart, and like to read. Even though PonyBoy may be stupid at times to Darry even though Darry knows he is smart he just wants to protect him.

The outsiders post 2

A man the name of Dallas (Dally) Winston has died. He was killed from being shot by the cops for stealing items from the grocery store. The gang came to his rescue at the vacant lot, but when they tried to help by hiding him but, he got shot.He got shot because he held a pistol out and aimed at the cops.Dally was always in a dangeruos mood. He had an elfish face, with cheekbones and a pointed chin, small animal teeth, and ears like a lynx. He had spent three years in Ney York and had been arrested at the age of ten. Dally was the toughest of the greasers.
His hair was almost so blond, and didn't like haircuts, or oil either. Even though he died he wanted to die like this after all. He was closes to Darry.
