Johnny’s Eulogy Johnny was a nice and I respected him. To us he was brave enough to save people’s lives. I respected Johnny‚ and how he put up with the abuse by his dad. I have never heard him complain either. Sure‚ he’d talk about it‚ but I never heard him complain. Even though he had a tough life he was always happy. I remember watching him save those kids in the burning church‚ risking and putting his life in danger. Only thing on his mind was the safety of those around him. It’s going

We’ve recently been analyzing the themes of a novel and a poem in our language arts class. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost are two very interesting pieces of literature. The Outsiders is a novel that talks about the divided community of a city‚ the “Socs” and the “Greasers”‚ and describes their rivalry and the problems caused by it. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” is a poem that uses themes in nature to explain that good things don’t always last forever.

Bolt’s A Man For All Seasons‚ and Albert Camus’ Meursault from The Outsider‚ an apparent murderer who does not believe in God‚ possibly have in common?

The outsiders movie and novel have many differences and similarities. I have only written about two of each but it is always fun to go back and look for more There is a hug variation between the two‚ the tiny details were precisely the same.
