Demitrius Hilerio Class 707 Character Change

     In Drums Girls and Dangerous pie Steven has changed alot. Before Jeffrey was diagnosed with leukemia Steven was complaining about jeffreys behavior.
     For example Steven used to stay away from Jeffrey because he felt his little brother was very obnoxious. But lots of stuff changed now that Jeffrey is diagnosed with leukemia. For example Steven has been deppresed. He also have not been doing his school work. This also affects other characters too. For example Annette has been being really nice to Steven. And Renne is worried about Steven so she told the teachers about Stevens secret.
     Steven also picked a bad habbit: bargaining. Steven basically makes deals with himself. For example he will think to himself "If I start to do my schoolwork again then Jefferys leukemia will be  cured."
     Before this I don't think Steven would've spent alot of time with Jeffrey but now Steven plays with Jefferey alot to make Jeffrey feel better.
     This character change shows that one person can affect another severly.

Live Life To The Fullest By Demitrius Hilerio class 707

       "I don't know where they are" my mom said aggravated. It was a warm spring day and it was also easter. The plan for this day was to go bowling with my uncle and my cousin. But currently we were trying to get to the bowling alley but we didn't know where to go so we found ourselves in Staten Island driving around. And by the way I forgot to tell you I was with my mom, my brother, my other uncle.
      Of course we didn't think anything bad would happen on easter but we were all very wrong. As we drove off the Verezano bridge we were talking about not showing up to the bowling alley and going somewhere else. So this automatically was our new plan. My mom got off on an exit so we can go back to Brooklyn and do something else. "Crap we have to go all the way around this street block just to get back on the Verezano bridge" my mom said with even more aggravation. As we drove down the street suddenly there was a feel of lots of impact on the car. It felt like the moment was in slow-motion. The world was spinning around me and my head swung back and went full speed ahead which made me hit the top of my head on the headrest in front of me.
       Then the world went full speed as if someone pressed play on a remote. I started to cry because the aching pain on the top of my head. Everyone in the car got out to see what had just happened except me. I was too busy crying my head off to get out of the car with my family. I suddenly heard sirens from the ambulance truck getting louder as it approached. As I was crying one of the paramedics from the ambulance truck came in our car and put me on a stretcher and then into a ambulance truck.
        The ambulance ride was quiet. If someone were to drop a penny everyone would hear it drop. As soon as the ambulance truck arrived at the hospital the paramedics opened up the back doors of the ambulance truck and carried the stretcher to the floor. Then I was pulled into the hospital.
                                                                          *  *  *
        After the doctors checked me to see if anything was wrong or if I was okay I was laying down in a hospital bed. I was laying down for a while when my dad and my grandma came in. "Boy am I happy to see them: I thought.
         I was happy to see my family again and eventually I recovered from my injury. From this experience I've learned in life you have to expect the unexpected because anything can happen. I also learned to live life to the fullest because I rather die knowing I had a happy and a fun life yhan a bad one.
       

Demitrius Hilerio Class 707 Final "The Outsiders" By S.E. Hinton Response

      After Johnny's death lots of interesting things happen to the characters. Well first of all after Ponyboy and Dally win the rumble they go to see Johnny in the hospital because Johnny was getting worse (Johnny was close to dying). When they arrive to the hospital Dally threatens the doctor to go into the emergency room to see Johnny. When Ponyboy and Dally finally enter the emergency room Johnny is very close to dying. After Dally telling Johnny about how they won the rumble Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold. Sadly Johnny dies.
         After this like I said it gets interesting Dally has an emotional breakdown and runs towards "Certain death". Dally soon gets killed by the cops. The reason for this is Dally has always loved Johnny. Dally had nothing to love or anything to care about except Johnny. So since Johnny died Dally felt he had nothing to live for. This also makes me understand why Dally didn't get upset at Johnny for telling Dally to stop bothering Cherry and Marcia.
          Dally was not the only one affected Johnny's Death. Ponyboy was also affected. Ponyboy is going through denial. He cannot face the fact that Johnny has died. But the amazing part about this is Ponyboy is getting more support from his brother Darry. Darry is started to be more sympathetic and understand everyone makes mistakes.
         After all of this drama in the storyline there is still one more problem Soda, Darry, and Ponyboy have to go to court. Because they have to fight to be united and live together which does happen. Ponyboy definetly has a different opinion of each character by the of the book. I understand now as a reader that each person that reads this book gets to understand each character's personality.
