Got to Give It Up

kind of neglected by all the characters of the book as well. Crooks would often be the victim of someone who was mad. For example, Steinbeck reveals, “Yeah. Nice fella too. Got a crooked back where a horse kicked him. The boss gives him hell when he’s mad. But the stable buck don’t give a damn about that. He reads a lot. Got books in his room” (Steinbeck 20). This is saying that whenever the boss would get mad, he would take it out on Crooks instead of anyone else. Anyone could see it was…

much. After what felt like hours of trying to muster up the courage upstairs in my room, I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I approached my mom and simply asked, “So, Tony and a couple of other friends want to go to Vermont this weekend, can I go?” I held my breath for what felt like years, awaiting her response. Her answer was, “Yeah sure just let me know where you’ll be staying and who’s driving.” On the inside I was jumping up and down, but I just said, “Thanks mom, love you.” and…

It’s about Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade, and how they ran away after Johnny stabbed a Soc when they got jumped. It was written by S.E Hinton and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The movie came out in 1983 receiving mostly positive reviews and is still loved to this day. Partially because the cast was full of up-and-coming stars such as C.

getting the same trophy. This event has occurred way too often, and though not this exact moment, but similar to it. One team winning a game and not just getting a trophy but getting the same metal that all the other players got. It is becoming a big issue. It is not right to give everyone a trophy just for participating in a game because kids need to learn to fail, and kids don't need a trophy for motivation when there are different ways to…

Everyone has that moment in life where you either grow up or drown in the waters of life. Never did I think I would have to grow up so fast, but at the same time I don’t think anyone does. The biggest part of my life would start in South Beloit illinois, tho up to this point I think I moved about three or four times. There were many reasons why I moved weather it was for more money or just a better place to live. Moving was never fun, but I was very young, so it never really affected me…

If I personally got asked the question about where I consider my parents to be in the spectrum of hyper, my first initial thought would be to put them pretty high on the spectrum. The reasoning for this initial response is because I always remember ever since I was little my parents pushing me academically and being there for me.
