Slice of Life

As I was walking with my friends, Osvaldo and Jonathan to gym class today, our principal yelled, “ANTHONY, JONATHAN AND OSVALDO COME HERE!” We walked towards her and she questioned us “Why are you guys still up here, when everybody is at class?” I answered “We all wait for each other, we stick together.” As I said those words, there was one face expression that appeared to be shown. Those were the words, I don’t care written all over it. She then said “If I don’t see you guys in gym class and all dressed up in the next 30 seconds, I’m gonna have to give you guys fouls.” We then all said “Okay” and walked back calmly, until we noticed that she actually started counting down, “29, 28, 27...” And she made us start sprinting to gym class and get ready rapidly.

Outsiders Going Beyond the Book: Making Connections

By Anonymous -
Reading the article, Herd Behavior made me come upon these connections to the book our class recently finished reading, The Outsiders. It made me realize not only how similar the main character Ponyboy was, but the whole Greasers group. Adding onto that, it also made me realize that both the article and The Outsiders book brought some insight to the same theme. That theme was that everybody would follow the group's behaviors. They wouldn't just focus on them, if it involved one of their group members it would involve everyone else part of the group. The article Herd Behavior states, “All of the animals band closely together in a group and, in panic mode, move together as a unit. It is very unusual for a member of the herd to stray from the movement of the unit.” (Paragraph 1)  Throughout the story, no matter what happened, the Greasers always stayed together through everything. All the rough times they went through, they fought those times and got passed them. And all those g

Don’t Doubt Me

“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.” - Anonymous. This quote basically means that you shouldn’t ever let people doubt you because you’re always going to be able to do it and prove them wrong. I feel like this quote defines me in a way because whenever I get doubted in something that someone thinks I can’t do, I always try to preserve and accomplish it and prove them wrong.

Somebody Up There Hates You

“Everybody dies, dudes and dudettes.” This is a quote that was mentioned by Hollis Seamon in the teen fiction book she wrote, Somebody Up There Hates You. This quote really connects to mostly the whole moral of the story. We all one day are not going to be here, and it just makes you realize that everyday of your life should be lived to the fullest because you never know when it’s going to be the last day for you. Now let me ask you this... If you knew you were on the path of dying really soon, what would you decide to do before it would all be over for you? If you don’t know the answer to this, this is what a fifteen year old boy named Richard “Richie” Casey did. Lived life. Those were the two words Richard lived up to. He’s living in a hospice in upstate New York. This is because he was diagnosed with terminal cancer or Somebody Up There Hates You Sydrome (SUTHY), as he calls it. They told him that his way to passing away was coming soon. As he started being in the hospice for more
