the outsiders ch.5-6

   I think that these two chapters are summarized by the word heroism. In these chapters it has to do alot with heroism. In chapter five Jhonny showed heroism because he was willing to turn himself in to the police. This took a lot of courage to do because no one wants to go to jail. In chapter six Ponyboy and Jhonny showed heroism. They both showed heroism by risking their lives in order to save the five little kids trapped inside the burning church. They went into the burning church once they heard the children creaming for help. They helped the kids get out safe even though part of the roof was falling down. This took a lot of courage most kids wouldn’t go into a burning place just to save other kids.  One reason why they saved the children was because they believed they had caused the fire. Even though they might of caused the fire they still showed heroism. They showed heroism because someone else would of probably left the kids and run away from the fire. I think that they didn’t  start the fire because they were really careful with the cigarettes they had.

The Veldt Final! B-)

1.What kind of relations so you see in The Veldt?

2.How do you see power and how is it displayed?

I think that their are two different types of relationships in the story. The two different types of relationships are between the children and the parents. The children’s relationship was way stronger that the parents. The children worked as one to get rid of the parents. The parents relationships were not as strong as the children. They fell into the children’s trap. The children were able to think of everything to get what they wanted. The children interacted with each-other more because they bonded in the room. The boy was talking back to the dad and the dad did nothing. At the end the children over took the house and got what they wanted again.

The Outsiders (3-4)

The word that I chose is culprit. They are on the run because of what Johnny did. After johnny did that they had to hide in a church.They were also had to cut their hair and bleach it. That sucked for them because their hair was the only thing they really had.
