Ponyboy's World1.) Greasers can’t walk alone too much or they’ll get jumped.
2.) When you grow up in a tight-knit neighborhood like ours you get to know each other really well. 3.) Organized gangs are rarities- there are just small bunches of friends who stick together. 4.) They were the only kind of girls that would look at us, I thought. Tough, loud girls who wore too much eye makeup and giggled and swore too much. 5.) Two-Bit- he doesn’t really want or need half the things he swipes from stores. He thinks it’s fun to swipe everything that isn’t nailed down. 6.) Sodapop and Steve get into drag races and fights so much- both of them have too much energy, too much feeling, with no way to blow it off. |
My World1.) Children can't walk alone or they'll get kidnapped.
2.) When you have a class with the same people for years you get to know each other really well. 3.) Everyone stays with their own little group of friends. 4.) There are only certain people that notice other people. Usually the "popular" people don't really notice the quiet people. 5.) My mom- she doesn't need half the things she buys from stores. She thinks it's fun to buy anything that will make the house look good. 6.) My brothers have competitions and get in fights so much- both of them have too much energy, too much feeling, with no way to blow it off. |
