I really liked when we put the sticky notes on the poster. It made me think about what i’m good at and also, what I can work on. I liked reading everyone else’s sticky notes that they wrote and their thoughts about it. I also really liked reading all the verses in moodle and connecting that with what teachings we learned.
I saw God this weekend from my cousins house that we are building right now. There were so many times where my family could’ve gotten hurt from going on the roof or on the ladder but God looked after us through those times.
When we did this observation, I don’t think it went as planned. The pink drops went out and rose a little bit from the bottom but didn’t make a complete loop/circle. The Convection Current was supposed to loop around but it didn’t because the water wasn’t cold enough.
Outsiders:
a problem that a character in this book has is that he is scared of getting jumped by the Socs who could kill the greasers if they wanted to. The Socs are the popular and cool people of the town and Greasers, the people that get jumped by the socs, are the lower class and they are poor and they get looked down on from the Socs. Another problem he is worried about is the future and if he is going to get a job or get good grades to get a good job. There is this thing called a rumble. That is where the Socs and Greasers get together and they fight. They fight till someone wins. They know who wins when another side backs out or all of the people are down from that side. In this book there was a rumble. The greasers won but there was a lot of injuries involved. PonyBoy got a serious concussion and he was bat up all over. He got a concussion from a soc pounding him in the head with his foot. People like the socs were not afraid to hurt the greasers because they knew if they did end up killing them the police would blame it on the greasers. That’s why when Johnny and Ponboy killed the Soc they didn’t turn them selves into the police because they knew they were going to regret it because the police wouldn’t believe them when they said it was self deffense.
One day a Soc jumped a greaser and the greaser got very hurt. This caused a lot of violence between these two groups. When a greaser gets jumped all the rest of the greasers have to make sure the greaser that got jumped is okay. They are like family. Another thing that happened that was violent was that one greaser killed a Soc. It was self defense because the Soc was fighting him.
A thing that I learned from this book is that you have to get to know a person before you can judge them just like the socs did to the greasers. In this story, two girls that were socs met two boys that were greasers. This caused the two girls boyfriends to jump the two boys that met these two girls. Another thing you can learn is by putting others in front of yourself. The greasers did this to other greasers when they needed help with something or they just got jumped. They took care of each other and did whatever they could to help them with whatever it was. Johnny and Ponyboy ran away because they killed a Soc. They first when To Dally for help and Dally gave them what they needed. This is an example of putting other people in front of yourself.
