Which side has it harder?

       Ponyboy has a realistic view when he says socs have all the breaks. They have money, nice cars, cute girls, teachers’ pets, and no worries. The greasers have hardly any money, ragged cars and trucks, gas station jobs, mechanic, don’t care for school. Steve is a mechanic he love cars. Darry works at a gas station. The socs have it easier, they have rich parents so they don’t need to work. Greasers have poorer parents or parents that dont acknowledge them so they have to work to support themselves and even brothers. Greasers and socs hate each other. Socs are richer eastside and Greasers are the poorer eastside. Cherry says they have had it hard the whole time. That’s why Ponyboy has the realistic point of view.

Catching Fire: Defiance

Catching Fire; Defiance

 

         In class we are reading Catching Fire and talking about their defiance’s. Defiance is a daring or bold resistance to authority or apposing force. 4 rebellions are Katniss, Peeta, Cinna and the tributes.

         On page 236 in Katniss’s private session with the Gamemakers, she hung a dummy with Seneca Crane’s name on it. The old Gamemaker was killed because she out smarted him. She’s sending a message saying this could be you next. “Then I quickly stepped away to watch the Gamemakers reaction as they read the name Seneca Crane. “

          On mage 240 in Petta’s private session with the Gamemakers he painted Rue’s body covered in flowers from the first game. He’s reminding Snow and the Gamemakers their responsible for her death. This is defiant because snow doesn’t want the tributes respecting each other.  “To show Snow I’m more than a toy in their games. “

          On page 251 the tributes in their interviews they question the legality of the games. They say Snow could stop the games but he won’t. They are blaming Snow on live television. They are turning the citizens against Snow. “ The president could change the quell if he wants. “ But doesn’t thing it matters.

          On page 251 Cinna turned the wedding dress that Snow picked out into a mockingjay. He turned the dress in to the symbol of the rebellion. The dress back fired on the capitol. Katniss wonder “What has he done. “ What has he done? “She knows President Snow will not accept it..

          The worst defiant was Cinna in my opinion. He turned the wedding dress Snow himself had picked out into a mockingjay. That on the other hand is the rebellion sign. So that’s why I chose Cinna as the worst defiant.

My attitude torwards school

   
     Over the years, my attitude about school has differed. When I was young I felt school was there so parents could have alone time. Back then, my favorite part of the school day was lunch and recess cause I got t hang with friends. When it came to school, my biggest fear was other people because they scare me.


     Now that I am finally in my last year of middle school I feel relieved about school cause I only have 4 years left then college. Now, my favorite part of the day is Math, and Science because it is fun now because we are older and have more trust from teachers.  Now, when it comes to school my biggest fear is really just failing classes because grades mean stuff when it comes to colleges and getting jobs.

     When I am a freshman in high school next year, I'll probably feel the same or a little different because well only be 1 year older.
