A monster calls Connection

I got a connection because in the book it says that the character was scared because there was a monster in his backyard. When I was about 8 years old I was also scared because I thought there was a creature. I also had a nightmare like how it happened in the book, and when I had a nightmare I screamed for my mom. But in the book it did actually happened, and for me it was just a nightmare thankfully. Now I don't have as much nightmares as I did before.

The Outsiders Comparison

The book was longer than the movie cause the book had more detail. I was expecting for the socs to try and cut Ponyboy's hair but they didn't. Some events happened early cause they started to drown Ponyboy around the beginning of the movie and in the book that happened towards the middle of it. I liked the movie better than the book because the movie showed the actions and I was able to image more than in the book. Since I'm a visual person it helped me more than the book.

A monster Call

It's about how this kid named Connor who has a nightmare but then finds out that it wasn't a nightmare it had happened for real. Because it says that his mom said "Sometime after midnight, must have been," she said, shuffling over to switch on the kettle. "I thought I was dreaming but I could have sworn I heard your voice".So that is how he found out that is was no nightmare.

Theme of outsiders

The theme is about how to protect the group and to protect yourself. It says "I just had to kill him he was drowning me." Another piece of evidence is that Darry wasn't gonna help out when the church was burning down but then he decided to help and that's how they would help each other out.

johnny

I felt bad when Johnny had gotten beaten by his dad. It says "Johnny had it awful rough at home - it took a lot to make him cry." I was never beaten before, and this. I honestly don't know anyone that has gotten beaten. But now Johnny is strong cause whatever beats you makes you stronger. What if Johnny was never beaten? What if he just wanted to look tough?
