My book the outsiders was about a group of kids called greasers who live in a bad neighborhood and are in a gang. They parents died when they where young in a car accident so they older brother is there legal guardian and he is also a greaser. He lives with his brothers soda a high school dropout and his older brother darry who is there guardian and makes most of the money for them. But the main conflict is between the socs and the greasers. One night darry got mad at ponyboy the main character and hit him so he ran away with his friend jonny and they got jumped in the park by some socs and jonny killed one so they had to skip town to not get caught. And they to a small town out in the country and whell they are there a old church caught fire and they go in to save the kids trapped inside and jonny gets hurt and dies in the hospitial. And then the guy who help them escape got shot by the police. But at the end they beat the socs and they promise to stay out of there territory and ponyboy can have a normal life.

The characters are ponyboy, darry ,jonny ,sodapop , two-bit, and darrel they all work together as a gang to stay alive and get money to support there familys but there rivial gang the socs keep jumping them. Most of them have dropped out of school but ponyboy is very smart in school but he doesn’t use his head before doing stuff. Soda is his closest brother who dropped out and works at a gas station. There older brother darry is there legal guardian and has a short temper and is big and strong for his age. As the book goes on ponyboy seems to mature and think things more threw and show how you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

At the end of the book it shows how jonny dieing and killing that guy affects him and it shows how he stops caring because he lost hope after he died. But at there very end he is finally able to move on but it is still hard for him. It also shows how all ponyboys friends do after the death of jonny and how they react to the situtation most of them can barely even live on without there friend and it shows how close they all are even with such tension with the socs because the big fight over the turf was coming up but they ended up winning even thought ponyboy got hurt in it.

The books themes are don’t judge a book by it cover because how ponyboy becomes a hero even thought he is a gang member and how import friends are cause they missed jonny so much after he died.

updated cell phone policy

Cell phone policy

Some argue that the cell phone policy in school is unfair because you may get a very important call or text about your job or family . but others argue that it will distract students from getting work done. It can also be used to cheat on tests and other assignments.

 

The rule at most schools that phone are not allowed in the possesion on students during the school day and if they seen or heard they will be confiscated by a school worker or teacher and must be picked up by a parent or guardian.

 

Students don’t agree with this rule because they think it is there property and that it is not there right to take it also they belive it should be allowed to have it on you incase you get a very important phone call or text. Students also want to have them to help them learn  and work in school.

 

Teachers have been know to be very soft on the rule thought student jadon fitch has had serval times it has gone of or been caught using it only getting a warning. Other students have also shared storys of teacher who dislike them taking phone for no reason because it is in there pocket in off this can often lead to student teacher confrantation that could end badly.

 

But everyone seams to have a different opinion on this. And for good reason because of there being many differnent storys and exsamples that support or go against each side. So this problem seems like it will stay for a good while.

uniforms

I was in the hallway I heard about the uniform thing and I was not happy about it then my friend told me it was fake and I dident care. Then when I got to this class I was not worried because I new it was fake . plus I could tell it was fake cause our parents would have been informed and you would have passed out sheets to give to our parents and right afterwards you made us do a writing about it so I could tell it was just fro the project . But if it was real I would have switched schools because I don’t have any clothes that fit the requirment and I wasent about to get new clothes just for some stupid rule.
