:Sup Yo

Awsome we finally finished the book and once again had to choose a word. I know I already choose friendship, but im just choosing it again just because its probably the best word that describes chapters 11 & 12. in these chapters the greaser gang went to court to see if Johnny should be charged for killing Bob, and if Ponyboy, Darry, and Sodapop should be put into a boys’ home. But Ponyboy doesn’t have to speak much because his doctor told the judge about Ponyboy’s condition. The judge asks Ponyboy some questions about his home life and then forgives him of all wrongdoing and allows him to return home with his brothers. After that, Ponyboy becomes depressed. His grades go down, he loses his coordination, memory, and appetite, and he argues with Darry. Ponyboy’s English teacher, Mr. Syme, says that even though Ponyboy is failing, he can raise his grade to a C by writing an outstanding autobiographical theme. So the end is the beginning of the story. And since some of the  gang members have died, they have become closer with each other because they realized that each one of them were important to one another. Alright the end.

Fear

I think chapters 9 and 10 were best explained by the word fear. In chapter 9 there seemed to be some fear even though it wasn’t really expressed much. when the rumble was about to begin, i believe the socs and the greasers had fear inside of them. the socs showed fear when they ran away from the rumble since they were getting pounded; especially when one of the greasers took out a busted bottle pop. I also think that darry had fear that ponyboy would get hurt during the rumble because he didn’t have the same strenght after he came back from the church in Windrixville because he looked all skinny and not in a good condition to fight. fear was also showed by the whole gang when they knew that johnny was dying and were afraid that he won’t make it and die. Also, I believe the greaser gang had fear when dally got killed by the cops when he was buffling to shoot them. So this is why i chose the word fear.

Friendship

I chose the word friendship. i chose this word because in chapter 7, Darry, sodapop, and the rest of the gang grow a bigger friendship while johnny and ponyboy are gone, and then become heroes when they risked their lives to save those kids. talking about johnny and when they risked their lives to save those kids, Two Bit and ponyboy went to visit johnny and dally this was a sign of friendship because they wanted to visit their own friends which were more like family. the whole gang was a family. and they cared for each other. they also showed friendship when they went to buy him some things, and especially when they didn’t let the mom see johnny. That was yet another sign of friendship. Well, that is what i think of what word should fit in with chapter 7 and 8.

Heroism

the word i chose for chapter 5 and 6 is Heroism. There seemed way more heroism in chapter 6 than chapter 5. In chapter 5 the hero was probably Dally.  When Dally came to the abandoned church, he took out johnny and ponyboy to the dairy queen and kept buying them things like banana splits and pepsi, or burgers and things like that. Dally was the hero because ponyboy and johnny were tired of eating balougney and for once of the week, they had something good to eat. when the church was burning in chapter 6, Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy risked their lives to save  those kids that were trapped in the church since they felt they were responsible because a cigar probably set the church on fire. they finally rescued the kids but they all ended up going to the hospital and becoming heroes. When ponyboy woke up again his friend told his brothers were here. And he was really happy to be reunited to be with them.
