I am caring and sensitive.
I wonder what the future will be.
I hear laughter in the distance.
I see clock hands going faster and faster.
I want time to come back.
I am caring and sensitive.
I pretend to be someone I am not.
I feel like I am burdening others.
I touch total darkness.
I worry that I will lose my family.
I cry now that I have made a mistake.
I am caring and sensitive.
I understand that I can`t bring people back.
I say that things will change happily.
I dream about happiness.
I try to make the best of it.
I am caring and sensitive.

Letter to SodaPop from Ponyboy
Dear Soda
Hello Sodapop. How's it going? What I am writing about is about the murder case about Johnny and the Socs. Do you remember that night when I came home from the movies with Two-bit and Johnny, and Darry hit me? well me and Johnny were walking in the park after I ran off when suddenly a blue Mustang was circling the park. Then five Socs came out of the car and were walking straight toward us, but they looked drunk. JOhnny was so scared that he was turning whiter than white. The Socs were mixing up trouble, calling us "white trash with long hair" so i said "you Socs are white trash with Mustangs and Madra sweaters." Then we started fighting. I tried to fight but one of the Socs grabbed me and held me back. Then he shoved my face in the big fountain. I tried to fight away from him, but he was stronger than he looked, and I was drowning. next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground. Then i saw Johnny. He had more fear on his eyes than I had ever seen before in my life. He had killed the Soc. The lead Soc was laying on the ground, with blood pouring everywhere. Johnny's switchblade was bloodsoaked. We decided to run away, but we needed some help. So we went to Buck Merril's place to get help from Dally. Dally gave us $50.00, clean clothes, a gun and directions to the place where he told us to hide out. The place was called Windrixville. In truth, I am scared for Johnny. I have never seen Johnny do such a thing, because he would never kill anyone. But he is my bestfriend and i don't think he had much of a choice, because that Soc was drowning me, and could have killed me. I miss you very much and I am mad at Darry. No one has ever hit me. Not even mom and dad have hit me before. To be honest, I don't think Darry likes me. He's always so mean and hard on me, like everything I do is all my fault. But you are my bestfriend. You understand everything, and you always make me happy even when I'm not.
I think you are wondering what I'm planning to do huh? well I'm not so sure about my plans now. All I want is to be home and forget everything, but I don't think Johnny will ever forget this. I want to help him. He has had enough in his life already, with his parents abusing him, getting jumped by the Socs, and now this.
Love, Ponyboy

Ponyboy and Greg Comparrison Essay
Ponyboy and Greg are very different people. Ponyboy lives in a place where poverty, and crime are common. Greg comes from an ideal family with parents that love him. Even though they are very different, they share some similarities.
One similarity is that they are both trying to fit in. Ponyboy feels that he doesn't fit in because he is the youngest in the gang. He tries to fit in by dressing, acting, and talking, even though he is not that type person, with a high IQ and good grades in school. Greg really wants to fit in, no matter what happens. He tries acting cool around other people, acting so he can get attention, and doing stuff that are the fad nowadays. He even tried changing his bestfriend Rowley, changing the way he dresses, acts, and the way he talks so he can make it to the top.
Another similiarity is that they were both bullied by older brothers. Ponyboy's older brother Darry is strict with him, and he's always so hard on him. I think the reason is that Darry is the type of person that doesn't like showing his emotions or true feelings. Darry loves Ponyboy, but since he is the oldest, if Ponyboy or Soda get hurt, then the blame is on him, and he doesn't want that. So he has to be strict, especially since their parents aren't there anymore. It is good that he is strict, but maybe he's being to hard on him. Soda's bestfriend Steve also bullys Ponyboy because he is young and he thinks he is just a tag-a-long kid in the gang. Greg's older brother Rodrick is the kind of the sibling that loves to get people in trouble, especially Greg. Since Rodrick is older, he bullies Greg to think he is cool, teasing him, and always giving Greg the blame. And since Rodrick thinks he is cool, he doesn't like Greg being in the way, because that is just the way he is.
My last similarity is that they both don't use their heads when it comes to thinking. Ponyboy's head is always dreaming, and imagining things in his head, and he over thinks things, not realizing, understanding the main points, not seeing the actual point, and he only sees what he sees. Greg didn't use his head in the story. He was so busy thinking about trying to make it to the top, that he didn't see what was going on around him. He didn't see that he was hurting people, especially Rowley, and he overthought things. He only saw the negative side of things, like if he didn't change Rowley, then he would be at the bottom of the pile, but since he hurt Rowley, now he's way at the bottom of the pile. If Greg would just be himself, then maybe people would accept him. He would do anything to make it to the top, getting people in trouble, lying to get himself out of trouble, and scheming against others to make them feel bad.
In my conclusion, the main point of my essay is that both Greg and Ponyboy need to use their heads in situations. Since they are both trying everything to fit in, it just makes them insecure. Greg would be popular if he had been himself, and tried not to care about what others thought of him, and Ponyboy just needs to understand that not all things have a bad meaning to it.

The Outsiders- Cast Sheet
PonyBoy Curtis
He is the youngest in the Curtis family. He is fourteen years old. Both his parents are dead. He is short, has long, light brown hair, and greenish-gray eyes. He is confused and sensitive, which means he doesn't like fighting. He likes to read books and watch movies. He is smart, but he doesn't use his head, which means he doesn't think. I chose Chris Pine to play Ponyboy because he was a shy boy, like Ponyboy, and he is young and caring.
Steve Randle
Steve is Soda's bestfriend and they have been friends since they were in elementary school. He is seventeen years old. He has thick, greasy hair, and tall. He has a specialty with cars, and can drive and operate anything on wheels. He is a show-off, cocky, and smart. I chose Robert Pattinson because to me, he is tall and cocky and he also has long hair.
He is the oldest member of the Greaser gang. He can always make people laugh, and get away from anything, even from the cops. He can always brighten up your day and he is a wisecracker. He is six feet tall and has a stocky build. He has long, rusty sideburns, gray eyes and a big smile. He likes fights blonde girls, and learning in school. He has a specialty with knifes, especially with his black switchblade that he always carries with him. I chose Chris Martin as Two-bit because he looks kind of like Two-bit in the story.
Johnny Cade
He is the youngest member in the gang, other than Ponyboy. He is sixteen years old and called everyone's "kid brother". He is the gang's pet, and he is called that because the gang felt sorry for Johnny because his parents were abusing him. He also got beat up by a rival gang called the Socs, so now, he is nervous, quiet, and meek. He has big, black eyes, dark, tanned skin, and long, curly, jet black hair. I chose Taylor Lautner to play Johnny because Taylot lautner is a good actor, and he can be quiet sometimes too. He also suits the look of Johnny.
Darry Curtis
He is the oldest in the Curtis family, and the legal guardian, since the parents have both died. He is twenty years old, six foot two, broad shouldered, and muscular. He has dark brown hair, and blue-green eyes. He is firm with alot of things, and doesn't have time alot because he's so busy with alot of things. He is actually supposed to be in college, but he's so busy that he doesn't even have time to think about college, and he doesn't have the money, even with his scholarships. I chose Arnold Schwarzenegger to play Darry because he is big and muscular and in some of Arnold's movies, he can act firm and hard, when actually, he is a good person.
SodaPop Curtis
Steve Randle
Steve is Soda's bestfriend and they have been friends since they were in elementary school. He is seventeen years old. He has thick, greasy hair, and tall. He has a specialty with cars, and can drive and operate anything on wheels. He is a show-off, cocky, and smart. I chose Robert Pattinson because to me, he is tall and cocky and he also has long hair.Two-Bit Matthews
He is the oldest member of the Greaser gang. He can always make people laugh, and get away from anything, even from the cops. He can always brighten up your day and he is a wisecracker. He is six feet tall and has a stocky build. He has long, rusty sideburns, gray eyes and a big smile. He likes fights blonde girls, and learning in school. He has a specialty with knifes, especially with his black switchblade that he always carries with him. I chose Chris Martin as Two-bit because he looks kind of like Two-bit in the story. Dally Winston
He is the toughest member in the gang, and the shortest by far. He has had a rough past, living in the West side of New York City, and got arrested at age ten. He has long, white blonde hair, and elfish like face, with high cheekbones, pointed chin, small, sharp teeth, big ears, ice blue eyes, and hates haircuts. I chose Eminem to play Dally because he looks like Dally, with the blue eyes, really blonde hair and he suits the character of him.
Johnny Cade
Darry Curtis
SodaPop Curtis
He is the second oldest in the Curtis family. He is sixteen years old, has dark-gold hair, dark brown eyes, and very good-looking. He understands everyone, and everything, and he isn't afraid of anything. He is Ponyboy's favourite brother in the family, because he is understanding and happy all the time. I chose Zac Efron to play SodaPop because in Zac's last movie, he was an outgoing person, understanding, happy,good-looking, and he wasn't afraid of alot of things.
