The Outsiders

I got The Outsiders at the JLC Program. It looked interesting so I started reading it over the Christmas break. I was at home bored so I picked it up and started reading. I only took me one day.

The Outsiders is about two gangs of the boys. They are called the greasers and the socs. They are two rival gangs. The difference between them is the socs are rich, snotty kids and the greasers are poor and sweet.

One of my favorite characters is Pony Boy. He is a teenage boy with long black hair and is member of the greasers. He is shy,sweet and one of the youngest of the members. Pony Boy had to run away with his friend Johny because Johny killed a member of the socs. I like that Pony Boy is shy but sweet at the same time. He does not talk a lot, but when he does he makes a lot of sense.

The book reminds me of some people in my life, and that is why I enjoyed reading it. I would recommend this book to anybody that likes to read. The story seems like it could happen in real life.

The laws of president K

If i was the president the first thing i would do is...

1. I would start school at 11:30. Kids are more awake because its not early and kids would get more sleep.

2. All the teens can go to the airport for free.Kids can see the world if it's cheaper.

3.You can get a job at age of 15 instead of 16. It would teach kids a life lesson.

4. I think kids should be home schooled.It would save gas and it would take away the pollution.

I think these laws are important because they teach kids to be grown ups and save the environment.
