Both these boys had bright futures like in The Outsiders the oldest brother had an athletic scholarship, but was not able to go to college because money was tight and he was taking care of his family.

Two people with two completely different characteristics have something alike. Both Dally and Johnny are mentally tough because of their parents. Johnny and Dally’s parents both do not care for them and could care less about them. For example, during Dally’s childhood he went to jail, been in a gang, and has been in many fights and his dad still would not care for him even if he won the lottery. Dally also talks about his dad's disgrace towards him in the car with Johnny and Ponyboy, “‘ Shoot, my dad don’t give a hang whether I’m in jail or dead in a car wreck or drunk in a gutter...’”(88). Dally could easily live without his dad and he does for the most part. Dally just hangs around with his friends and stays at their place. Similarly, Johnny's parents use him like a rag doll to blow off steam, “his father always beating him up”(14). The gang knows what happenes in Johnny’s house. Once Ponyboy was witnessing, “Johnny take a whipping with a two-by-four from his old man”(33). Ponyboy talks about how loud and mean Johnny's mom is and,“you can...
Wes (the author) has a family who wants to see him succeed. Although Wes didn’t know his father for long, the two memories he had of him and the endless stories his mother would share with him, helped guide him through the right path. His mother, made one of the biggest effects in Wes’s life when she decided to send him to military story, after seeing he was going down the wrong path. Perhaps, the other Wes’s mother tried her best to make sure he grew up to be a good person, but unfortunately Wes never listen. His brother, Tony was a drug dealer who wish he could go back in time and make the right decisions and he wanted Wes to be different than him. He didn’t want his brother to end up like him and even after he tried everything to keep Wes away from drugs, nothing worked and he gave up. As you can see, both families are very different, Wes (the author) has a family who wants him to have a bright future. Most importantly, a family who responds fast because right after his mother saw him falling down the wrong hill she didn’t hesitate to do something about it. The other Wes isn’t as lucky, as I believe since his mother already had so much pressure over keeping her job and her son Tony being involved in drugs. Same thing with Tony, he was so caught up in his own business that no one payed so much attention to
Up until and during the mid -1800’s, women were stereotyped and not given the same rights that men had. Women were not allowed to vote, speak publically, stand for office and had no influence in public affairs. They received poorer education than men did and there was not one church, except for the Quakers, that allowed women to have a say in church affairs. Women also did not have any legal rights and were not permitted to own property. Overall, people believed that a woman only belonged in the home and that the only rule she may ever obtain was over her children. However, during the pre- Civil war era, woman began to stand up for what they believed in and to change the way that people viewed society (Lerner, 1971). Two of the most famous pioneers in the women’s rights movement, as well as abolition, were two sisters from South Carolina: Sarah and Angelina Grimké.
The atmosphere between the two scenarios is very similar with the crowds cheering, the audience can relate to their own experience at a similar sport event. One of the main plots is revenge between the two because Tilly Dunnage wants revenge on the townspeople and jasper Jones wants revenge for whoever killed Laura. Another plot that is similar is murder, Eliza Wishart death and Stuart Pettyman death being the main drive for both texts. Another plot that most audiences can’t connect with is Small towns, simply because most people grew up in similar conditions and environments. A part of the plot that isn’t put together until the end of the in both texts is that one person knew the entire time what happened. Barney and Eliza Wishart saw exactly what happened but didn’t tell anybody because they were scared to be sent away or

Listening to this podcast left me with an unsettling feeling of dismay in my stomach this week.

In the podcast Cheryl explains to us that the older brother was constantly trying to injure his younger siblings and even tried to drown his younger brother in the swimming pool. After committing that violent act he showed absolutely no remorse to his baby brother. Cheryl's eldest son also displays no remorse to the rest of his family when he acts in a aggressive manner.
