The Outsiders

Book to Movie Comparison

I think the The Outsiders did not stay true to the novel because there was little things that were different but there were some part there weren't there and the were very different. One of the parts that were missing was that they didn't show the part where they were in court. Also other parts some more important than others. I think the characters/actors did an okay job but they left out the part where Ponyboy realizes what Johnny was saying in the note that there is a lot of hate and that there are many people that judge people from hoods. I think this a good message because it's true and I am glad that Ponyboy realizes this. But there were similar parts like when Johnny killed Bob and they asked Dally for help and when they went to the church in the country. Also when they saved those kids from the burning building and before the rumble when Randy and Ponyboy were talking.

The Importance of my Dog

Something that is very important to me is my dog, we rescued her from a dog shelter five years ago. We got her when I was eight years old and she was 1, she is now six years old, and when we got her they told us that it was a good choice because the next day they were gonna euthanize her so we were really happy to save her. She is also a really good comforter because she is really playful so she makes you feel better if you aren't.

Fault In Our Stars Book Review

  Book review of the Fault in Our Stars...

   This book is really good, it is kind of sad, I’ve read the book and I’ve since the movie but I still can’t decide which is better they are both really good though. But in the book there is a poem that I’ve read before it is call “Nothing Gold Can Stay” personally I think that the theme is that nothing gold can stay because in the book Hazel loses Gus her love of her life meaning that most things don’t last forever and you shouldn’t take things for granted. Also I didn't get why Gus had to die because everyone thought that he would get better and that he could beat cancer but ends up dying and it is just sad for everyone specially because it was very unexpected. Since it was so unexpected Hazel was even more devastated.

First Quarter So Far

   Friday is the last day of the quarter and so far I think the quarter has gone pretty well, classes are great I especially love my ELA class my teacher is so enthusiastic and I love her, my other classes are great too though. My grades are pretty good I know that could do better but next quarter I hope I will do better. Something I could do better for next quarter is if I miss a day or leave school early I could ask my treachery’s what I missed, and if I do get a grade that I don’t like I could retake or try to make it better. As far as me being on time and being organized I think i am doing pretty good I don’t think I have been late to any of my classes. In this quarter I joined one club which is cross-country I didn’t go there a lot of the time but that was my first club in the school. Outside of the school I do gymnastics.

My Favorite Quote

     My favorite quotes are gymnastics ones because they really inspire me, but my all time favorite quote is...

    "You have to remember that the hard days are what makes you stronger, the bad days make you realize what a good day is, if you never had any bad days you would never have the sense of accomplishment." - Jordyn Wieber

     I really like this quote because when I am doing gymnastics and I am having a bad day I always remind myself that if I didn’t have bad days I wouldn’t know what good days really are.

What I Aspire to be 10 Years from Now

     10 years from now I see myself finishing college and going to medical school, probably out of the state. Then I would do my residence as a surgeon for 4 years and then maybe even a fellowship for a couple more years. Once I become a surgeon I would go to the military to be a surgeon and help injured soldiers. But I would probably just do that for a year because seeing soldiers get hurt or die and hearing many bombs can cause PTSD or something else like that. Then I would go back home and go to a regular hospital as a trauma surgeon, probably wouldn't have time to have a life outside of the hospital because being a surgeon takes up a lot of time.

My Worst Injury Experience

     What is your worst injury experience? My worst injury experience was when I was 7 years old. When I was 7 I used to love going to the park, especially when the weather was great and that day was great, I remember  the sun was shining and there was a cool breeze it was perfect. So I asked my mom if I could go she said "yes". So my sister and I got ready to leave and go to the park. When we got there I was getting out of the car and I thought I heard a car so I ran towards the back of the car, so that the car wouldn't hit me. When I got to the back of the car my mom was closing the trunk door and the door hit my head.


     I didn't really feel any pain in my head but my tail bone was hurting because I fell right on it. Then my sister stood right in front of me pointing at my head in shock. I didn't know why, so I touched my head and felt something liquid and it started dripping down the side of my head. But I thought it was like sweat so I looked at my hand and I saw blood and I got really scared, I thought I was gonna die. My dad carried me to the car and we went to the hospital, when we got there they said we had to wait and we waited there for like 5 minutes but it left like forever because I was in so much pain.


     Then they called us and we went to this room and they put a towel over my eyes, and they gave me a shot so that I didn't feel anything but I still felt everything. Then they put like 4 or 5 staples and that really hurt. Then the doctor took my staples out like three weeks after that and that really hurt, then like two days later school started.
