Ponyboy's Journal Entry
Me and Johnny have been hiding from the police for a couple of days now. I'm sure Darry, Soda, and the rest of the gang are worried sick about us. I haven't gotten much sleep since we went into hiding, I am betting Johnny hasn't either because it is hard to get good sleep while your laying on the cold floor of an abandoned church and when you are thinking about everything that went on with our lives the past couple days. Earlier today Johnny went to the store to get some food and supplies with the $50 dollars Dally gave us to live off of while we are hiding. Besides getting food, Johnny got me a copy of Gone With The Wind because he knew I love that book so much and he wanted me to read it to him. He also got some cards

    Theme Of Loyalty In The Outsiders

    Though he would often shy away from daunting social situations or tasks, Johnny performed several rather momentous acts of loyalty in his short life. When Ponyboy was being drowned in the park by the group of drunk Socs (Bob and his friends), Johnny acted out of deep concern for himself and his friend by stabbing Bob. This loyalty to Ponyboy cost him a fairly untarnished criminal record, and later, in the succession of events, his life. Johnny’s life was lost in both this act of loyalty, and another- saving the children from the burning church. After Johnny killed Bob, he and Ponyboy fled to an abandoned church on Jay Mountain. When they came back from a short excursion for food and found the church on fire, Johnny used his loyalty to his own belief of the existence of good in the world, and dove into the fire to save the children. Ponyboy described Johnny’s expression while inside the church, capturing a vague idea of how Johnny may have felt to have been doing something wonderful with his life. “I caught on quick look at his face; it was red-marked from falling embers and sweat-streaked, but he grinned at me… That was the only time I can think of when I saw him without that defeated, suspicious look in his eyes. He looked like he was having the time of his life” (Hinton 92). Finally, Johnny was loyal to one person on a regular basis- Dally. Perhaps not as drastic as sacrificing himself or another, but loyalty all the same. Johnny admired Dally, so much so, that when he was on his own deathbed and Dally told him the one thing he had always wanted to hear -that Dally was proud of him- he was so extremely happy, and he had a bit of peace to keep with him when he…

    Wee Willie Winky Dialectical Journal

    Wee Willie Winky, an underprivileged man who entertains the people of Methwold’s Estate as a clown, is also expectant of child from his wife Vanita, who apparently had an illicit affair with her master William Methwold, who is the biological father of her unborn child. Both the women, Amina and Vanita go into labor pain for straight thirteen days, and precisely at the hour of midnight, each woman is blessed with a son. Perhaps, Mary Pereira who is appointed as a midwife at the nursing home is engrossed with beliefs of her fundamental socialist lover, Joseph D’Costa. In an attempt to please him, she engages herself in a condemnable act wherein she alters the nametags of the both new-born boys, in this manner giving the poor child of Vanita a life full of luxuries while the rich baby boy of Amina is fated to fall under the realms of poverty. This reversal of fortunes is a comment on the way an individual can change his destiny by his own hands. Being guilt ridden, Mary assumes the role of nanny to Saleem the kid for whose prosperous fate she was held responsible for.…

    Dear Journal Entry

    In a few years from now, I would really like to open up some sort of cafe, specifically a boba shop. I would like for it to be located in California, specifically Southern California so it can compete with other boba shops. The menu would be filled with a variety of milk teas, flavored teas, and lattes that can be paired with various toppings such as boba, grass jelly, egg pudding, different popping boba flavors, and an array of different fruit jellies. I would also like to serve small desserts on the side, such as macarons, mille crepe cakes, and brick toast. As for the cafe itself, I would like for it to have a cozy yet minimalistic vibe from the decor. In other terms, white…

    Interview with a Record Store Owner

    on a less then pleasant day the weather was cold and rainy so before I left the safety of my car I turned my collar up to face the cold and made a bee line to the store so fast it would put Usain Bolt to shame. When I walked in the store I was greeted by the smell of coffee and sound of The Rolling Stones song Monkey Man playing over the store speakers with the owner of the store john singing along to the song and throwing his arms up like a monkey. As soon as you walk into the store your face to face with a giant rack of used DVDs ranging from Driving Miss Daisy to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre the store itself is not very big on the left side of the store is a shelf contain records from Abba to Rob Zombie on the right side is a shelf holding the cds. I was immediately welcomed by john who sitting down in behind his cash register with a sign on it that read “No Personal Check” behind him was a giant poster of Frank Zappa which seemed like one of his most prized positions john had. John had on a tie dyed rolling stones shirt john had looked tried and he seemed to be discomfort later I found out he looked that way due to having MS.…

    Journal Entry: The Things They Carried

    The short story, “The Things They Carried”, by Tim O’brien, was my favorite reading of this week. The author states what the company is carrying, as well as emotional burdens that they carry. I think that theme of this story can be summarized as “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. As I stated in the discussion, I think this story makes a profound point about trauma and emotional stress. Physical burdens are easily observable. For example, when people see someone in a wheelchair their thoughts are most likely automatically sympathetic. However, when people see someone having a panic attack they might just assume that the person is overreacting. Nobody knows what emotional burdens someone holds. Therefore, it is wrong to judge people on appearance alone and assume that one knows the full story.…

    Journal Entries on the Kite Runner

    In the first ten chapters of The Kite Runner Khaled Hosseini focuses on the theme “Friendships take years to build, but only moments to destroy”. For example, Amir and Hassan have been friends since they were born, they built their friendship until the day of the kit fighting tournament. When Hassan ran the runner ups kite he ran into Assef, who was seeking revenge for being insulted by Hassan earlier in the year. Assef deemed that rape would be a proper punishment for the insult. Unbeknownst to Assef as well as Hassan Amir was watching everything. If he wanted to, he could have intervened and stopped his revenge but chose to watch instead, ruining his friendship instantly. Ali and Baba’s grew up together, and therefore had a sturdy friendship that almost nothing could ruin. Feeling ashamed about not intervening between Assef and Hassan had scarred Amir, for he could no longer look at Hassan as a friend. Because of this, Amir planted money in Hassan’s bed and made it look like he stole if from him. This resulted in Ali becoming so ashamed of Hassan that they moved out of the house.…

    “Finally the Nines were all resettled in their seats, each having wheeled a bicycle outside, where it would be waiting for its owner at the end of the day. Everyone always chuckled and made small jokes when the Nines rode home for the first time. ”Want me to show you how to ride?” older friends would call. “I know you’ve never been on a bike before!” But invariably the grinning Nines, who in technical violation of the rule had been practicing secretly for weeks, would mount and ride off in perfect balance, training wheels never touching the ground.” - Chapter 6, page 46…

    Diary: Salem Witch Trials and Mrs. Elizabeth

    It was the September 1st when the magical day happened. I had been working for john for about three months. Mrs. Elizabeth (Johns wife) had become sick some weeks ago and hasn’t been able to get over it. I had decided to do some reading while Mrs. Elizabeth was sleeping. I had only read ten pages before John came behind me. He bent down breathing into my ear and scared me out of my chair. I closed my eyes waiting to hit the floor but just before I had I felt someone catch me. I looked up to see who it was that had caught me and to my surprise it was john! He was smiling at me with lust filling his gaze. As soon as I saw that I could help but start to blush. I quickly said thanks you, mixed with the blush it caused him to let out a jolly laugh. As he was bringing me to my feet he whispered into my ear that he liked me a lot. After hearing this I became braver. I asked him if there was anything I could do for him for saving me from falling. He looked at me and told me that he was sure I could do something for him and that I was to meet him in the barn after everyone goes to bed.…

    Examples Of Heroism In The Outsiders

    Yet, he proves to be very heroic. Ponyboy saved some kids from dying in a burning church, even though it was difficult and dangerous. Ponyboy recalls,“I picked up a kid, and he promptly bit me, but I leaned out the window and dropped him,” (pg. 93). In this passage, we see that Ponyboy does not worry about how the kid treats him. He still saves the child and does his best not to harm him. In order to teach and help others, Ponyboy decides to write his theme about events that led to the death of his friends, even though it is painful for him to think about what happened. Ponyboy thought, “There should be some help in the world, someone should tell them before it’s too late. Someone should tell their side of the story…” (pg. 179). This shows that Ponyboy is determined to help other suffering teens, like The Greasers, by writing about them. Even though he was sad about his friends and was having trouble focusing on school work, Ponyboy wants to…

    The Outsiders

    In the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, the protagonist Ponyboy struggles with many common problems that a teenager encounters. One of these problems is when he struggles with remaining loyal to the Greasers and living a moral life. The Greasers don’t have many morals except for looking out for each other, and that is how most of them lose their innocence. This is the problem that Ponyboy must deal with. He strives to maintain the Greasers’ tough reputation while desiring to protect the innocence he has left from childhood. They will often lie, cheat, steal, and kill in order to protect their brothers. Ponyboy somewhat objects to this principle because he wants to protect his innocence. Although he cares a lot about the Greasers, he feels as though his innocence is the last positive thing he has left from his childhood. Ponyboy says about Two-Bit that “the fight for self-preservation had hardened him against caring” (Hinton 59), and Ponyboy does not want to come to that point.…
