The house sat alone on the top of a grass covered hill , nobody ever came up but tonight was different . I heard the slow rumble of a car making it’s way up the hill , my father immediately grabbed
I thought that this Tuesday would be like any other one. I’d wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, and go to work. I drug my feet into the bathroom and began getting ready. Normally, I’d wake up at 6:30 and manage to get ready in time to leave at 7:30, but today I was running a little late- I woke up at 7. Of course I hadn’t realized this, so whenever I came out of the bathroom and saw that it was already 7:30, I left without breakfast. I would have stopped for food but mornings in New York City were
Sarah Retter Bullock Period 3 Honors English Symbolism Essay #2 While there are many symbols in The Outsiders, like cars or the Greaser hair, the most memorable would have to be Two-Bit’s switchblade. The blade doesn’t just have one symbol but is woven throughout the story in many ways. The first time we see the switchblade, it is presented as Two-Bit’s prized possession and a symbol of defiance, as it has been stolen. The Greasers are known for their unwillingness to follow authority. “He was famous
getting caught hanging out with her, which he did get caught. He left town to not get caught by the cops but also had a gun which he had gotten from Dally. “He walked toward the socs with the broken bottle and held it how Tim held a switch.” Went to the rumble even though
“The Outsider’s” is not considered a literary merit but will, be given the time too. It follows with two groups of people, these people are the Greaser’s and the Soc’s. They have a really big rivalry and have fights throughout the book. The main characters in this book are : Ponyboy Curtis, Darry, Johnny, Sodapop, Keith “Two - Bit” and, Sherry. The real conflict begins when Johnny and Ponyboy go to the park they sit there and slowly “The Socs” begin to pull up to hurt them, They then get ganged up
Checkpoint Charlie ("Checkpoint C") was the best-known Berlin Wall crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War. I had been driven past several times but never had the chance to stop, then randomly my friend Amanda and I found ourselves there in-between searching for the wrong holocaust museum via the wrong directions; and trek to a closed Löwenbräu. I have to call shenanigans on this one. Checkpoint Charlie has changed from a historical place of interest into a gimmicky
We were sitting on the back patio when we heard the familiar rumble of our gardener’s truck. Standing, my husband and I greeted Steven as he entered through the back gate. He waved, and we exchanged a few words about what needed attention. He noticed things about our garden that I would have never seen. As he started working, I sat down and watched him. He was by no means a young man. I would have put him in his mid-fifties. He was very tan, and had dark brown hair, but his eyes were greener than
first, the lure of the school choir for me was the intricacy of the harmonious blend of all its parts. The unimaginable high keys of the soprano girls coupled with the subtle harmony of the altos and the bold hum of the tenors reinforced by the rich rumble of the bass boys left me awestruck every Sunday mass. The choir seemed to be able to render every song it sang with effortless dexterity and passion; they were truly a sight to behold. I joined my school’s choir in the tenth grade. I can’t even begin
One character who stands out in the story is Dally because he was a static character. The character can be described as loyal, hard and brave. Dally was a Greaser. Dally can be described as loyal for many reasons. One example Dally wants to win the rumble tonight for Johnny. On page125 it says, “Dally we gotta win that fight tonight”. This shows that Dally loves Johnny when Dally takes the rap for Two Bit. On page 76 it says “One night I saw Dally get picked up by the fuzz he kept it cool and calm

Second reason why I liked this article is because is that it’s broken
