Dear Parents/Guardians:
We are reading The Outsiders this month.
Our focus will center on social divide, friendship, loyalty and brotherly love.
Please assist your child with one of the
three homework options listed below.
Our lesson today focused on the following
excerpt:
• AFTER
THE MOVIE was over it suddenly came to us that Cherry and Marcia didn't have a
way to get home. Two-Bit gallantly
offered to walk them home--- the west side of town was only about twenty miles
away--- but they wanted to call their parents and have them come and get them.
Two-Bit finally talked them into letting us drive them home in his car. I
think they were still half-scared of us. They were getting over it, though, as we
walked to Two-Bit's house to pick up the car. It
seemed funny to me that Socs--- if these girls were any example--- were just
like us. They
liked the Beatles and thought Elvis Presley was out, and we thought the Beatles
were rank and that Elvis was tuff, but that seemed the only difference to me. Of course greasy girls would have
acted a lot tougher, but there was a basic sameness. I
thought maybe it was money that separated us.
