How are you coming on your book for the book project? You should have it read by September 19, and be ready to turn in your written work by the end of class on September 23.
Book orders: We have $11 worth of orders turned in so far, so we need only $9 to send in the order early!
Then we can send in another order on the 25th! You DO NOT need your composition book today. Do get out your reading book. If you do not finish the Edmodo assignment -- answering two questions about The Outsiders -- in class, it becomes homework. |

Ponyboy's reply to the first prompt: [The numbers in brackets are for the pages in the book where he says something like these things.]
Darry doesn't like me! Yah, he works long and hard [2], and doesn't have time to do much of anything fun. He has to do all of that because of me and Soda, and now that Soda has dropped out, it's just mostly because of me. So no wonder he resents me and gets so mad at me whatever I do.
Darry is hard and firm and rarely grins at all. He's always hollering at me, and treating me like I'm six instead of fourteen. [2] And he's always rough with me without meaning to be! [6] He gets so mad because I don't use my head, don't seem to have common sense, and he always uses his head. [13] He expects so much of me, too. If I bring home B's, he wants A's. If I bring home A's I'd better make sure they stay A's. [13]
Soda understands about everything. I love Soda more than I've ever loved anybody. He's happy-go-lucky and always grinning. [2] He stands up for me to Darry, and somehow he gets away with it. Soda and I share a room and one bed since that's all we've got. That's okay 'cuz it gives us a chance to confide in each other. I sure hope Soda sticks around until I've finished school so he can keep Darry off my back. [18]
