Then he decided to ask his dad for the clothes. But his dad said as long has he checks in with him then it's ok, because his dad knew he was up to something. Since he made this decision he was going to the party. This changed him by bringing him and noodles apart because at the party noodles let his brother get beat up so Ali was mad at him. 3. A text to self connection I made is how me and Ali both go to church. This is a connection because he was talk to noodles as he was leaving the church about the party. To be more specific Momo's party's. This is when they got invited to the party. A text to world connection I made is the majority of people in the ghetto are black in the book and real life. This is a connection because almost everyone described in the book was black. 4. I think the theme of this story is be there for you friends and family. I said this because when they went to the party needles was getting beat up and noodles didn't save him. His brother and friend Ali were mad at him. He had to try really hard to get them to like him again. I can relate to this because if I didn't ever stand up for my friend and was always mean I wouldn't have any

    I learned a lot from this book I learned not to get in gangs and stay true to your family. I liked a quote in this story it said “things are rough all over” to me that meant no matter where you are where you go things are going to be rough so just stop running away from problems because it’s just going to create more. Dally and Sodapop both kind of remind me of myself because I don’t care about nothing but I can understand people and the different things they like and nothing don’t scare me. I think the theme of this story is to be your brothers keeper.
