What is your impression of the narrator, ponyboy? give evidence from the story to back up what you think of him. is he a good person? a good greaser? would you want to be friends with him? etc. try to come up with at least three unique things to say about him. in the drive-in scene, where the greasers are hanging out with the girls, what do you learn about the characters? choose three of the following characters (ponyboy, johnny, dallas, two-bit, cherry) and provide a character trait that is revealed by this scene (not one we already knew from chapter one). darry is constantly complaining that pony doesn’t use his head. he yells at him for walking home alone in chapter one and again in chapter three for staying out too late. what is darry’s motivation for these actions (why does he behave this way)? explain in detail. does pony understand his motivation? why or why not

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.

explanation:

hasty generalization

b. the poet identifies with private people.

    in the stanza, dickinson states she doesn't wish to seek fame and recognition from the public eye. nor is she afraid of authority figures, and you can definitely tell she isn't hiding something. more as she identifies with private people, who are not known by the community
