My first Quarter of school

I think my first quarter of school was ok because I only got two detentions which I think is good although my parents don’t. My grades where decent because I only got three 1s on the whole report card.  I guess that my behavior could have been a little bit better. There really anything to bad first quarter or anything that struck out first quarter so, that’s what happened in my first quarter of school.

Outsiders making connections

In the poem I read it was about a group of African American boys and how they act. In the book the greasers really don’t care about their responsibilities either besides Darry and in the poem the boys care about their responsibilities. In the poem it says that “we die soon” which was was important because a big event that happened was Johnny’s death. This can relate too because Johnny died at the age of 16 which is too soon to die. Another thing to relate is that it says “we left school” and in the book sodapop dropped out of school because he wasn’t good at it. Those are some things that “We Real Cool” the poem and the “Outsiders” have that can relate to each other.

Outsiders book/movie comparison

Similarities Paragraph:
The movie and book are similar and different in many ways but, this paragraphs about similarities. One of the similarities I found would have to be Johnny asking for a copy of gone with the wind. Another similarity I found would have to be Johnny's mom coming to visit him while he was in the hospital. The last similarity i’m putting in this paragraph is that two-bit giving dally his switchblade. Those were some of the similarities between the movie and the book.

Differences Paragraph:
The movie and book are similar and different in many ways but, this paragraphs about differences. One of the differences I found were that two bit insults docs about their pants in the movie but, not in the book. Another difference I found was that when a little girl walked up on dally’s car while they were eating Dairy Queen in the movie but, not in the book. The last difference I'm going to put in this is that dally asked up on the boys while they were sleeping in the movie but, in the book dally knocked on the church door. Those were some of the differences between the movie and the book.

Evaluating Actors/Directors:
Overall I think that the actors and directors and actors did a great job and all but I think they could have changed. If I was the director I would probably add in pony’s thoughts. I think they could have added in they part where pony gets jumped by the socks. I generally think the move was good but they could have in these minor changes to make the movie better.
