The Outsiders

November 20, 2009

In school we are reading a novel called the outsiders. We were asked to read the first four chapters the do the questions that go along with it. After that was done we had to write a response journal on our blogs.Well thats what im doing.

Remember I’ve only finished four chapters of the book so far, so that might make a difference. In the book there is a group of guys,they call themselves greasers. The three main characters are Ponyboy, Sodapop,and Darry. Ponyboy is the one who’s telling the story. In the book so far they have told about their life and what kinds of people they are. They have also talked about where they live. They are like the lowest on the food chain. There are others in the story they are the higher class, made up of mostly rich and popular people who get good grades and drive nice cars! They are called socs(so-sh-es). In  the book Ponyboy and his friends were going to the movies and they sat behind a coupe of girls.One of Ponyboy’s friends Dallas was trying to flirt with the girls and well Ponyboy and his other friends Johnny and Two-Bit didnt like that so they told Dallas to stop.He did but he left.After the movie the girls didnt have a way to get home so they  all were going to walk to Two-bits house and get his car.When they were walking to his house a mustang drove by it was the girls boyfriends and their friends.They stopped and made the girls get in the car with them. After that Two-Bit went to go get drunk at a bar and Johnny Ponyboy went to the park and there they fell asleep on the grass. When Ponyboy went home he was welcome  by Darry who was really mad at Ponyboy becoause it was 2 in the morning.They started arguing then soda started to stick up for Ponyboy,thats when Darry got really mad and hit Ponyboy.Ponyboy didnt take that too well, so he ran to the park to go see Johnny. Sure enough he was there then Ponyboy started to cry. Johnny and Ponyboy walked around a  bit then Ponyboy decided to go home and just not talk to Darry.

Winter

November 3, 2009

Winter is coming! The lake is starting to freeze,and theres snow on the ground.That means I can go ski-dooing soon!Im excited for the snow and i cant wait to go to Honker hill and go sledding.Its so much fun here in the winter.Walking on the lake, ski-dooing,sledding.I wanna go ice fishing like right now!!!!Its so agonizing waiting for the lake to freeze enough that you can get your ski-doo on without braking the ice but there are many different lakes that have to freeze before you can go all over because there are different spots I like to go ice fishing like McCloud,Squal,Woozy,i wanna go out to Crude this year too! I love the winter and enjoy all of it.Im just so excited i just cant wait.

Peace out people

Volleyball

October 9, 2009

So we’ve been at school for a full month now and I am on the school Jr. volleyball team.Its pretty cool.Last class we did stairs!Those were pretty tiring,but it was kinda cool running in the hallways and up the stairs.We are working on volleying the ball back and forth,bumps,setting up the ball for three hits,so far i am doing good.I think i need to work on my over-hand serve a bit more though.Volley ball is hard work and im so excited because our first game is on November 6th. I cant wait i hope we win.When we go to our game Im gonna have to borrow a school jersey because i wasnt here last year to get a jersey.I hope my coach ordered them so they get here before volleyball ends. My  coach is also my gym teacher in gym class we play volley ball sometimes.We used to play volleyball alot in gym,but now we are playing floor hockey.
