Me And Ponyboy: A Relatous Story

Improved Essays
Me and Ponyboy share a few relatable stories and experiences when we do not use common sense even though we both perform at a fantastic level in school. Like when Darry hits Ponyboy he ran away with Johnny which eventually leads to a Soc getting killed. My similar infamous experience was when I had an argument with my mother and I put up a fuss when I was confined. Unwisely Ponyboy lacked common sense when he thought he could buy Mike Mouse back for Soda but it also makes him generous and caring. Identically my daunting story was at a carnival I was determined to win my friend an enormous fluffy stuffed dog which I probably should of saved my money. Me and Ponyboy both learned a lesson that our behavior impacts others and that if we think more

    The Boys Will Not Like You I remember back in early 2010, when I first began my journey as a debutante I would wear my makeup a little darker than what was okay and dress a little more tomboyish than what was acceptable for a lady presenting herself to society. This upset my mentor, who always dressed nice, always had perfectly fixed hair, and looked as if she walked off the cover of Elle magazine. One day, my mentor uttered the words, “Honey, if you look like that and continue to act un-lady like, the boys will not like you.” “The boys will not like you,” she’d only say that to me and I learned it as, “you are you, the boys will not like you.”…

    Middle school was hard for me not because of the awkward phases everyone goes through during that time, although I did have a fair share of those, it was because during that time I was bullied by my parents to act more feminine and appropriate to my gender.

I would run around with my friends playing in the dirty streets instead of helping my mother in the kitchen or sitting idly during family gatherings. This continued until…
