the goonies
The 1985 movie “The Goonies” in my opinion shows a hero’s journey. This is where it all starts.
Brandon is left in charge of the kids when the dad is at work and the mom is out for groceries this clearly means nothing but trouble. While the mom is away the kids always get into trouble but today is where they crossed the line they tied Brandon up with his own workout machine and then entered the most forbidden place in the house their dads attic no one has ever been up there this can only mean one thing Mikey said there hiding something… as the kids are in the attic find a map but his no ordinary map this is the map to one eyed willies treasure.

Once the kids find this map they don’t believe a thing until Chunk stumbles into an old picture of a pirate ship with one eyed Willie himself steering it. As the kids are in shock from the picture
Mikey screams HEY GUYS LOOK! There was an old newspaper article about a guy named
Chester Copperpot he also tried to find one eyed willies treasure but he didn’t make it out.
The kids take the initiative to go out and for the last goonies adventure and maybe to even save
Goonville. As the kids are setting out on their adventure Brandon’s mom finally comes home to see only him lying there in the chair tied up and she says to him Brandon if you don’t find those boys and bring them home you will be grounded for life! When the goonies finally reached the supposed restaurant where the treasure is Chunk is sneaking around and finds out that the Fratellis the biggest criminals in all of Goonville are in there its to late to tell the rest of the gang who are already inside. When the goonies are inside Mikey is snooping around trying to find the entrance way to one eyed Willies treasure but when he is doing that the
Fratelli’s mom chases Mikey and the rest of the gang out into the open field and they wait it out
Until they leave while there waiting Brandon finally caught up with them but he’s not alone

    Has anyone ever felt like you were judged by the way you look and dress? The outsiders by S.E Hinton should be taught in school. This book should be taught in school because it is very much like real life today so it could teach kids what not to do. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a story about a boy named Ponyboy and his friends who are constantly getting in trouble and being judged for being “greasers”. Ponyboy is an interesting character because he is different from his friends, but gets caught up in gang conflicts. There are many examples in The Outsiders showing Ponyboy to be loyal, brave and sensitive. The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton was written in 1967. This novel tells the story of the conflict between two different social groups, the greasers and the socs. The socs were the socials who lived in the rich part of town, and the greasers were the lower class youths. They call them Greasers because they wear their hair long and a lot of grease in it. They are always getting picked up by the police for shoplifting, hijacking cars, pity theft, armed robbery and even MURDER!! They are always getting in trouble for something the Socs did like when Pony boy was at school. The Socs were doing something in the cafeteria and Pony boy got in trouble for doing it and he wasn’t even in the cafeteria. The Socs are a bunch of rich kids that have mustangs and corvettes with nice interior. This novel tackles issues such as violence, class conflict, and prejudice. The novel takes place in the early sixties. The Outsiders examines how two different groups compete, and unite for survival, which is often justified with violence. This one isn’t getting lost in the woods and having to make fire and kill fish and get water out of some spring. This is more like real life because things like this happen every day.…

Pony Boy Curtis, Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston all have experienced family breakdowns and each and every one of them has a loyal group of friends to fall back on. This shows why Friends are so important. Family isn’t who you’re related to, but who cares and is there for you when you need them.…
