Question # 1: Literature helps us to understand the character traits and motives of many different people. Some people are similar to us, and others are very different. Write a well developed paragraph in which you tell me which character in //The Outsiders// you are most like and why. You may choose any character, but you must make sure you connect to them in some real way.

Answer #1: I think I am kind of like Ponyboy. I am like Ponyboy because he likes to read and works hard in school which I feel that I do a lot. The gang that Ponyboy belongs to says he doesn't use his brain sometimes, which I feel like I do too. I feel this way because not everyone is perfect in our world today and that sometimes I may not be thinking and I might do or say something wrong. Ponyboy did not get why Soda dropped out of school and he keeps on wondering why he did. When someone does something that I don't get I think and ask myself why did they do that.
