The book I read was called "The Outsiders". Ponyboy and Toothpick are at the hospital and once Johnny died two days after Ponyboy got stepped up to on the frot of toothpicks car. It was four "Soc's" Ponyboy finished his Pepsi and busted it on the side of Toothpicks car. Then the "Soc's" ran away in there Mustang.

If my friend died I would act like that a little bit if I was in a situation like Ponyboy I would have probaly stabbed one of the "Soc's" if one tried to hit me.

The book I read was called " The Outsiders''. This book talks about a greaser named Ponyboy. He ran away because his brother hit him. He ran away with Johnny because his parent don't care about him. They go to Windrixville. That reason is because Johnny killed someone and now he has to leave town with Ponyboy. Ponyboy has to leave because he was with Johnny when he killed Bob. If Ponyboy gets caught him and Soda would get put in a boys home. So him and Johnny went to Windrixville and they cut there hair so they won't look like hoodlums.

If a situation happen to my like this I would probaly do this just to let the police calm down but just to know it was not me but I would stay away for a little while. So I could just come back then explain that did not do anything even though Johnny was dead I would still have to go to a boy's home because I would be very angry.

1. I think high school would be very different from middle school because of the work we have to do because it is a college prep school. I think it would be even harder.

Why children wear uniform

The reason why Kids in school wear uniform because pricipals do not want kids to get distracted by hwat they are wearing. Sometimes it is just to identify who are the children. But many schools have the same uniforms so they might uneasy to tell who is who. There are alot of people who were uniform. There are police, some teachers, school safety, firemen ..........

Some reasons why people want kids to were uniform is so they would spend less time picking out what they are going to wear. Also sometimes so that they could show school colors and look professional. Also some kids brag about who's clothing looks better they are just clothes does it really matter.

The book I read was Alcatraz and the Evil Librains. Alcatraz went to fight the evil librains with his grandfather and his body gaurd. So Grandpa Smedry gave Alcatraz some lenses. It had a laser and it could track foot prints. He asked his grandfather if it was the right thing to do to invade the evil librains.

I would have invaded the place just to get it ove with. But in some terms i would have not. I would have not because his powers were not fully controlled and he could not want to break he could only brake what he did'nt want to break.

HW #31

A song that reminds me of a time or place is "Aunt Jackie" my Jason Foxx. In his video he was on 116th. So that reminds me of a time when me and my uncle left church it got boring so we walked to Central park. We walked around to see people play baseball and some one hit it out of the park and I found it and when we got it and he took it from me and threw it in the pond.

Chicken Noodle Soup reminds me of when I am on 119th with my cousin playing basket ball and football.
