In a well written paragraph, tell me which character from the Outsiders you would like to be your friend. Use the BOOK with page numbers and paragraph numbers.

The character I picked to be my best friend was Sodapop. I picked Sodapop because, it explains how he cares and understands a lot of what people say. Instead of him not caring or listening. This best resembles me, because I try my hardest to care and understand what people want and need, like Sodapop does.

 ~What about the fact that he hasn't finished school? Do you think that his fun-loving attitude would make up for your very different values? ~Mrs. Best

We all know that the fifth commandment is: Thou shall not kill. With that in mind, tell me what you would be feeling AND what you would do now if you were Johnny at the end of Chapter 4.

With the fifth commandment in mind I would feel terrible, shocked, and inadequate, because I just took a life from someone. If I was Johnny at the end of chapter four, I would turn my self into the police. I would do this because I know I committed a terrible crime. The wright thing to do in this situation would be to turn my self in.

 ~You are only one of very few who responded this way. I agree completely. You were just trying to protect your friend. ~Mrs. Best

Explain what Ponyboy finds out about Randy and the other Socs at the end of Chapter 7.

Ponyboy finds out that Randy and the other Socs are just regular guys. The Greasers and the Socs were just about to go and have a rumble. But before they had the fight, Randy talks to Ponyboy and says he's tired of all this fighting. He says that Bob was the Socs friend, and they were infuriated that he died. Randy explains to Ponyboy that he's done being a Soc, because of this. He explains that he doesn't want to live a life like this anymore. So he tells Ponyboy that he's gathering all his possesions, and leaving for good.

 ~Yes, just regular guys. ~Mrs. Best

Explain what Two-Bit means when he says: "The only thing that keeps Darry from being a Soc is us."

When Two-Bit said that I think he meant that Darry is part of a family- the greasers. Without the greasers, Darry would only have Ponyboy and Soda. Which is his family, but  ~Not finished? Mrs. Best
