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:
• "A
fair fight isn't rough;' Two-Bit said. "Blades are rough. So are chains
and heaters and pool sticks and rumbles. Skin fighting isn't rough. It blows
off steam better
than anything.
There's nothing wrong with throwing a few punches. Socs
are rough. They gang up on one or two, or they rumble each other with their social clubs. Us greasers usually stick together, but
when we do fight among ourselves, it's a fair fight between two. And Dally
deserves whatever he gets, 'cause slashed tires ain't no joke when you've got to work to pay
for them. He got spotted, too, and that was his fault. Our one rule, besides Stick together, is
Don't get caught. He might get beat up, he might not. Either way there's not
going to be any blood feud between our outfit and Shepard's, If we needed them
tomorrow they'd show. If Tim beats Dally's head in, and then tomorrow asks us
for help in a rumble, we'll show. Dally was getting kicks. He got caught. He
pays up. No
sweat."
