Book Review 3

The OutsidersThe Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Dear Potential readers,



The Outsiders is an outstanding that really tells the meaning of family in one book. The Outsiders is about two different gangs. The names of these gangs are the Socials and the Greasers. These gangs have a thriving hatred for each other for many different reasons. The Greasers are made of the kids of the east, the poor side of town. The Socials or The Socs for short are made up of the kids of the west side, the rich side of town.



This story is mainly about two kids in the Greasers, named Johnny and Ponyboy Curtis. They are the youngest and the smallest members in the Greasers. To tell you the truth, they didn't want to be in a gang. The reason why they were in one was because Johnny was being abused at home. Ponyboy lost both of his parents in a car accident a few years back. The only blood family he has is his brothers, Soda Curtis and Darrell Curtis, Darry for short. Ponyboy and Johnny do not just look at the members of the gang as friends, but as a family. They believe that family should always stick together no matter what was happening around them. Every member of the Greasers followed this, and saw each other as equals.





The story truly unfolds in the middle of the story when something unexpected happens. While Ponyboy was at home one day, Darry and Ponyboy got into an argument. Out of anger, Darry did something that he has never done before, hit Ponyboy. Ponyboy ran away, which was not a good choice. He found Johnny who also wanted to run away and they ran to the park. While they were at the park, the Socials came to the same park Ponyboy and Johnny were so they could jump them. Johnny has been jumped before and is always ready with his pocket knife. Johnny took it out as the Socs came. Just as the leader of the Socs, also known as Bob, started to drown Ponyboy in a nearby fountain, Johnny took out his knife and stabbed Bob. Bob was dead. The rest of the Socs ran away in fear.



To find out what happened to Johnny and Ponyboy, read the book The Outsiders. I'm 100% sure that you'll like it.





Thank you,

Brandon Hunter

What happened?

what happened to us? what happened to all of the joy and laughter we used to have? what happened to the love? what happened to everything? we just threw everything that we've been through out the window, including my heart. I dnt think tht i could love someone as much as i loved u and i just cant take this mess anymore. i understand that what i did tore apart our relationship, but why did it have to tear apart our friendship too????

Josh

So I was at lunch, eating with my bros when the dude next to me with the biggest gap says to me............. "Is my teeth yellow?" I look at him and i say to him, " Nope but I can't believe it's not butter."

Money Hungry

Money Hungry is a book about money, money and more money. There was this girl that went by the name of Raspberry that thought of nothing but money. The reason for this is because she lives with her mother and is extremely poor. Even though her mother now has a job they are still having financial problems. Raspberry is always trying to make a quick buck. For instance, she has washed cars, sold bad candy, sold pencils and many more.
The only reason she wants money so much is that her mom and her were once extremely poor. At times, they would sleep under bridges. Other times they would sleep on benches huddled together to make themselves warmer even though it didn’t do much. They learned that if they had anybody, they have each other.
This book is a great book and has a great moral to it. That moral is that when you have nothing, you have family. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to many people.

The Chronicles of Vlaidimir Tod Twelfth Grade Kills

                                                
Dear potential reader,
“The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, Twelfth Grade Kills” is a good story about love, hate, revenge, deception, and betrayal. Vladimir Tod is a half vampire, half human that is supposed to rule over all man and vampire kind. They call this prophecy the Pravus. This is not the only thing that has been messing with Vladimir’s head.
When Vladimir was in the eighth grade, his parents supposedly died in a fire and right as Vlad was about to kill the slayer, also known as Joss that was trying to kill him, his father came from nowhere and told him not too. This had freaked Vlad out because he thought that his dad, Tomas, (a vampire) was dead. Vlad then went home and only told his best friend, Henry McMillian. After a while, his uncle, who is a full vampire named Otis, helps him. After the many attempts to locate his father, they quit. A few days after that, they find him. They all are overjoyed. The thing that they don’t know is that the reason why Tomas came back was so that he could steal his son’s Pravus powers.

What exactly is literacy? It has many different meanings to many different types of people. To me, the definition of literacy is the ability to read and write. We read and write in our everyday lives all of the time. For instance, when we are driving to school or work, we read signs and that’s one form of literacy. Another form of literacy is when we are filling out a form for work. Those are some ways that we use literacy in our everyday lives. Literacy was originally oral and was written down long after it was composed.
There were many things that influenced me to start reading. One person that influenced me was my mom. She was always reading and I wanted to learn how. Another was when I was when I was little and I saw commercials. I wanted to know what the words meant. The first book that I read was a chapter book called The Adventures of Captain Underpants. I have read every single book in that series. I liked many fairy tales as a little boy. For instance, I liked “Major Payne’s” version of “The Little Engine That Could.” I also liked “The Three Little Pigs.” Those are a few of my favorite nursery rhymes.
I attended Winslow Township Upper Elementary #5 for grades 3-5. Well there were a few books that came to my attention during those years of my education. One book was written by Ronald Dahl called “The BFG”. Another was a series called “The series of Unfortunate Events” by Lemony Snicket. There were no teachers that helped me developed a knack for reading. I actually got that on my own. After reading books that I thought were extremely interesting I started to read a whole lot. All of that reading had expanded my vocabulary.
I attended Winslow Township Middle School during my middle school years. During those long three years, I liked many different authors. For instance, I liked Dav Pilkey, Lemony Snicket, and many more. When I left that school, I was into the series “The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd”. The final book just came out so I’m going to get that soon. The genres that I liked changed on a little bit. I read all types and was learning about more in my readings.
I hope to read many books in my high school years. I want to read genres that I would like. I think that will expand my vocabulary and help me in my writings. There is only one other kind of writings that I listen to and that is newsletters. I don’t consider myself as a literate person, but many other people do. They say that all of the reading that I do has made me smarter. I have noticed my vocabulary expanding though.
All of those years of reading have made me like reading. At this time I am reading a series called “The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd.” Literacy is very important because it helps teach the English language. Literacy has helped me in my life. For instance, it has taught me how to talk and read. Literacy is like a tree in many ways. For instance, the base of literacy is learning to talk. Then the branches are reading, writing and the different genres.
