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:
•The
next thing I knew I was lying on the pavement beside the
fountain, coughing water and gasping. I
lay there weakly, breathing in air and spitting out water. The wind blasted
through my soaked sweatshirt and dripping hair. My teeth chattered unceasingly
and I couldn't stop them. I finally pushed myself up and
leaned back against the fountain, the water running down my face. Then
I saw Johnny.
He was
sitting next to me,
one elbow on his knee, and staring straight ahead. He was a strange greenish-white, and his
eyes were huger than I'd ever seen them. “I killed him," he said
slowly. "I killed that boy."
