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:
…I
ducked
and tried to run for it, but the Soc caught my arm and
twisted it behind my back, and shoved my face into the fountain. I fought, but
the hand at the back of my neck was strong and I had to hold my breath. I'm dying, I thought, and
wondered what
was happening
to Johnny. I couldn't hold my breath any
longer. I
fought again desperately but only sucked in water. I'm drowning, I thought,
they've gone too far... A
red haze
filled my mind and I slowly relaxed.
