AR 50% by FRIDAY

The class started, and we entered the room. We wrote down the agenda on our Binder Reminders. Otem came up to the podium and read his over dramatic blog. His blog was filled with way too much enthusiasm and imagination. As I was distracted, I never expected Otem to pick me. Afterward, we worked on our Creatober and some people came up to share theirs. Ms. Nakada then told everyone to talk out our Outsiders books and we started talking about last night's chapter. We talked about how some of the characters disliked fighting but went to fight anyway. We talked about the irony of how Ponyboy said that he only likes to fight in self defense while he was going to fight. Ms. Nakada talks about the quote "Super Socs" Paul. We talk about how Paul and Darry Where friends. Paul Holden used to go to the same school as Darry, and how they were friends. Ms. Nakada read some of the paragraphs about Pony talking about Darry and Paul. We talked about how Paul was a cheap-shot for punching Darry when he looked away. The greasers drive the Socs out so they kind of win but no one was killed, they just driving them out. The next scene of irony was when the cops pulled over Dally and he tells them they are rushing to the hospital. So it's ironic that the police give them a police escort. They arrive at the hospital and Ms. Nakada and the students read out the paragraphs leading to Johnnys death. This was a very said, emotional scene.

After we read, Ms. Nakada told us that she changed the order of the chapters we would read tonight. She said instead of reading ten tomorrow and eleven and twelve the next, we now read ten and eleven today. We talked about what our three word summary. My three words where Rumble, Victory, Dead. We then grabbed a piece of notebook paper to do a eight sentence Quick-write, which we are turning in. The three prompts we received were "Write about the three Curtis brothers, How is the sunset used as a symbol in The Outsiders, Write about Cherry's character developed in The Outsiders." I wrote the second prompt "How is the sunset used as a symbol in The Outsiders." Ms. Nakada then helped out students who needed help finding what page different parts of the book and quotes where on. Kingsley kept working through the bell, as we packed up and left for fourth period.
