Outsider's Comparison.


       Another post of lovely school, painful school.


       So, recently I have finished a little book called 'The Outsiders' by S.E Hinton, and honestly it is a good book. My class has been asked to compare ourselves to one of the characters in it. But, not like 'Oh, Cherry and I are the same gender!' or 'I'm funny, I'm like Two-Bit!'. We have to compare ourselves from their character traits, more detailed ones. And, what they went through, if it relates to us in some way. Let's simply get started then.
       In the book The Outsiders, there are many different and unique characters, and I could almost relate to all of them. There is one character though that I relate to the most, Sodapop. In most of the book, Sodapop tries to stay calm, and has hopes with dreams. He is in the middle of it all mostly, between Ponyboy's and Darry's fights.
       I mostly relate to this character because of the fact I can relate to what he is going through. Everyone wants them to pick a side, and somethings really just don't go his way at all. People look at him throughout the book to be someone who is almost like a star.
       I have to choice, or I have to pick sides with family and friends. When people look at me, they might as well think I'm just the usual girl with a smile.
       Another way that I relate to him is because of his breakdown at the end of the book. Having feeling bottled up inside, because you know that at the wrong time and wrong place, they will let out a scream. And, everyone will never treat you the same. But, if you wait for until the right moment, you will change the minds of the people that caused this pain.
       Its just the way I think, I hope you guys try to read The Outsiders, and watch the movie. I finished the book, and am currently watching the movie for class. Bye guys.

    I like how you compared yourself to Sodapop with the ideas your brought about how you and Soda are alike really stood out to me. I never thought that I am like Soda till I read this and now I know how similar I am to his actions mainly with having to choose a side and keeping everything bottled up till I just explode! I’m glad that you like the book and hope you enjoy the movie!

HOW TO GET READY FOR A TEST!

HELLO YOU! YES YOU! DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE DOING TESTS? DO YOU HATE NOT BEING PREPARED? ARE YOU JUST TERRIBLE AT TAKING TESTS? LOOK NO FURTHER THAN~ HOW TO ACE THE TEST. IT IS VERY..VERY SIMPLE MY FRIENDS! 1. STAY UP UNTIL 12 AM! NOTHING MAKES YOU MORE PREPARED THAN GOING ON YOUR PHONE ALL NIGHT WATCHING STUFF THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE WATCHING. (you know what I mean~) 2. LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE THE TEACHER EXPLAINS THE TEST! WHO CARES THAT THEY MAY BE GIVING YOU ALL THE ANSWERS, MUSIC IS MORE IMPORTANT. (best to use rock, I recommend David Bowie) 3. DON'T DO THE STUDY GUIDE! YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT THE STUDY GUIDE IS NOT WORTH IT, YOU HAVE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE FOR THE TEST FROM SKIM READING THE WHOLE TEXTBOOK! (if you want to get through the book faster, skip some pages) 4. DON'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS! IF YOU ASK A QUESTION, YOUR TEACHER WILL GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE QUESTION CAUSING THE WHOLE CLASS TO BE ANGRY AT YOUR QUESTION. IT IS BETTE...

My graduation speech

(I am about to graduate from middle school, and we got an assignment to post a speech on our blogs, so here!)             Here we are, getting ready to go to high school. We are all now looking behind in the past while still looking at the future. Planning on what we are going to do with our lives. But, I have just one message to tell you that involves to everyone in this room. Make something new. If this is the one thing that you remember about me, that would be great.            In this world that we are living in today, people tell us multiple times that we should get some sort of job that we hear constantly. When we ask their reasoning behind it, they say, "It has the best payment," or "You will have a good life." The people that want to have these jobs are excited to hear this, but the others? We should all know that we are not going to live forever that we are all going to die one day. There are two types of people, t...

Favorite Food, I Guess.

               So, yesterday for class we discussed foods that we would like to eat. We also talked about what we would want for our best meal. It didn't take me that long to pick what I wanted for a dream meal because I was thinking about it for a really long time. For the fact that I was hungry.               I wouldn't get an appetizer because I just don't like appetizers. But, for the main course I have a nice lovely plan for it. I would have sushi, I like sushi. Inside the sushi would be, of course, rice, avocado, and eel maki. There would be a sweet sauce on top, along with soy sauce on the side.               Another part of the meal would be a nice lovely steak. I love steak, especially well-done steak. Along with potato wedges, or fries maybe.               Then, for desert. I always wanted to have ice cream cake. I have never have...
