Choose and sketch a symbol that represents ponyboy, sodapop, darry, johnny, cherry, two-bit, dallas (dally) and randy

Ponyboy - book

He is the thinker and dreamer of the group. A book would be the perfect symbol for him as he values his education and loves to read. He chose to write a book for his English theme.

Sodapop - rope for tug of war

Soda says he constantly feels as though he is being pulled in two different directions when Darry and Ponyboy fight. He does not like to be the man in the middle.

Darry - Atlas holding the rock

This would be a good symbol for Darry as he feels that he is responsible for anything that happens to the family and in part also anything that happens with the rest of the Greasers. He gave up what could've been a college education when his parents died to stay home and keep the family together. This responsibility weighs on him just like Atlas's rock.

Johnny - puppy

Johnny is a scared puppy. Ponyboy calls him the "pet" of the gang. They are always looking out for him. He is not wanted at home and is frequently abused when he is home.

Cherry - two different colored cherries, black and white

This would be a good symbol for cherry, because her name is Cherry. They should be different colors: black and white. On the one hand she is a Soc and seen as pure and good by society. However, she also supports the Greasers by spying for them and testifying on behalf of Ponyboy.

Two-Bit - Mickey Mouse or Chocolate Cake

Two-Bit is still a child. Even though he's an older member of the group, he is resistant to growing up. He would choose to eat dessert for every meal and loves watching Mickey Mouse cartoons. One of these symbols would be best because it represents his childlike behaviors.

Dallas - fist

Dally is always looking for a fight. He is constantly antagonizing people. Cherry sees through his bravado and sees that he is just sad and lonely. However, his constant aggression gets him into all kinds of trouble.

Randy - football letter jacket

This represents Randy's jock and Soc status. It shows his socio-economic standing as well as the possibility for him to attend college as a jock. At the end of the novel, he tries to shed this label.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
