The Outsiders View


Point of view in The Outsiders


In this piece I will be writing about Pony boys and Derry’s Point of view of them fighting the Socs in The Outsiders.

  In the book The Outsider there is a young man with a nickname of Pony boy. His life gets sucked in to this gang called the greasers and their arch nemesis are the Socs. Socs stand for the Socials and the reason their name is like that is because they are the rich and wealthy people with all the nice stuff. The Greasers are the outcastes that don’t have a lot of money and get in trouble with the cops a lot.

  Pony boy`s view of this isn’t so good he doesn’t like it. He thinks it`s not the life style for him because he doesn’t like the fighting. He also doesn’t like seeing his friends and his family being killed I mean who would like that. In the story he even tells a Soc that he doesn’t like it because they were having a meeting about the brawl.

  Derry’s view of this all is different he likes to fight because he`s a big tough guy. He likes to just act tough and just be like a grownup he is always on top of pony boy he is like a father figure to pony boy. He always tells pony boy when to be home and shows him a lot of love. The reason is because he doesn’t want anything to happen to him since the gang fight is going on.

   

Compare/Contrast The Patriot and The fighting ground


Compare/Contrast The Patriot and The Fighting Ground
By. Blaze Beltran


  Once there was a nice quite family  with a house surrounded by a bunch of land. Then one day  a messenger comes along  and then their whole life changes. They go to town for a meeting  and then their oldest boy Gabriel signs up to be a soldier for the Americans.  A battle not too long from that happened right in their front yard his son just happened to be in it and he gets shot and runs home to get cared for.

  When his son comes home not too long from that the red coats take him because he was an American troop. Then the second oldest reacted and got himself killed. The father reacts then and kills all the troops that were there to get his son back and then he gets his own militia and they help out the American revolution a lot because of them.

  Once there was a young boy that all he wanted to do was fight in war because his life was boring. Well he got that chance one day and took it he was scared when he was in it he couldn’t see anyone so he ran and got captured they find this boy and then barrier his dead mom and dad and stay at the house for a couple of nights. Then the boy ends up escaping and getting back to his town all safely.

  They both fought for their country but they both had  different kinds of stories though. They were both teenage boys in the story that go to war. Both end up getting captured except in the fighting ground he doesn`t get away for a while and ends up picking up a child while on his journey.  In the patriot there was more fighting and war and more situations and a better story even.

A winter Sky


The cold Winter sky

Flew right by

As we drove to wrestling

The night before

The super bowl

With a bowl of chili

Ohh  my those were good times

Sledding away with friends

Not stopping till the end

Of the grass

Splash landed in the muck

O man that sucked.

Deathwatch Prediction


Deathwatch Prediction
By. Robb White


 Author`s Note: I Think this is a good piece for the format and the telling i think it tells you about Deathwatch quite a bite. 

  My prediction for the ending of the story is Ben is going to stay in the dark spooky cave. He is going to wait till Madec gets up there. When he gets up their he`s going to search for Ben when he finds him. Ben is going to shoot him with the slingshot and its going to hurt him and put him to the growned but it won’t kill him. Ben will then take Madecs keys and start the car ; Madec will then shoot the tiers out so he can not drive to the high way.

  When Ben was in the car he found Madecs awesome .357 Magnum. He had thought then I can act like he caught me and that I give up then when I get close enough to shoot him that is what I will do. When Madec was about 30feet away Ben then took out the pistol and shot him. Ben then makes a fire so the helicopter can find him and it does takes him back. He then explains the whole thing and the police find the evidence and believe him.

How he is a shy kid is because he doesn’t talk to people he just walks and  looks awkward. He had one friend also they were kind of a poor but he slept on their couch sometimes.

Founding Fathers


  
Founding Fathers

I wanted to ask the founding father some questions about the choices they made long ago. The founding father where  John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Washington, and  Warren G. Harding. There is a lot of them that made many of the choices that we live with today.
  The first question I would want to ask the founding father is, why did they pick the beloved eagle to be the national bird? Why didn’t they pick the turkey, the duck, or the robin? You see Robins  everywhere you go, in peoples trees and on farms all over the U.S. The turkey is one of the things that I see a lot in the morning on the way to school. I have seen at least 100 turkeys, and that is a lot of birds to see at one time. Lastly, the duck is a common bird too, I see ducks on the way to the store in small bodies of water all the time. Just a couple of days ago I saw a couple duck`s on the way home.
  Let’s get onto the second question. I would ask them if they are happy or sad about what choices they had to make about this Nation. I would be happy because, we have the freedom of speech in this country. Also I know that I am safe because of all the protection that we have in this country. I also want to thank them for the bill of rights. They are the first ten amendments to the U.S constitution.
  These are a few question that I would like to the founding fathers. They made a lot of good choices a long time ago. They made them in the best interest of all the people of this Nation including me.  Most of their choices, they made a long time ago, are still being followed today also.

Hunger games resolution


Conflict and Resolution

 Authors Note: I wrote this essay on the main conflict in the book Hunger games and explaining the conflict and how it was resolved during the book.

 This story is about a game that the capital makes kids fight to the death. The main conflict of the story is person vs person due to the kids fighting. The conflict was resolved at the end when Katniss and Peeta win the game.

 Another conflict was Katniss and Peeta against the capitol was another problem which was person vs society. The capitol  kept on making it interesting and changing the rules. At the end the Capitol said their could be only 1 winner while earlier in the story they said there could be 2 if they were from the same district. So they were going to kill them selves by eating berries and then the capitol said "wait congratulations you 2 have won the hunger games". At the end Katniss and Peeta won against the other 22 people. That is how it was resolved by Katniss and Peeta doing that and making the capitol say their can be 2 winners.
