“We take things for granted. You never expected then unexpected until the day it is happening” 
I would recommend this book if you are going throw a thought time. When you read this book you would read quotes throw out the book you could relate to most or all. When you read this book it feels you are part of the story your self.

Relate movie to book

Did the movie the outsiders was true to the book?
In the movie there are some similarities are how Johnny,Dally and Ponyboy were going to the drive. As they sit as their watching the movie the see 2 girls Socs coming to sit in front of them. As Dally was messing around with the red head name Cherry and her friend Marcia mostly with cherry. Johnny told Dally to “knock it off” Dally got mad but he listen to Johnny. All of the sudden Cherry started to talk to ponyboy and Johnny first off asking them “are you going to start now?” Later on ponyboy, Johnny and Two-bit take the beautiful socs home Pony was talking to Cherry had a lot of things in common and two-bit was talking to Marcia. As they walked they saw a blue mustang with Cherry and Marcia boyfriends came out Bob and Randy the head of the socs.
As the 3 greasers were going to fight the 2 socs cherry said no I hate fight and talk to Ponyboy for saying if she don't say hi to not take It personal. Before she walked away she said if I ever see Dally again I will might as will fall in love with him. Pony and Johnny go and take a nap in the lot. Pony was asleep and woke up at 2 in the morning told Johnny bye and went straight home as he did he went to the bathroom and his older brother was yelling at him then soda-pop and then Pony tries to defend Sodapop and Darry smacks ponyboy. Pony runs out goes find johnny at the lot and they run away. Johnny kills Bob Marcia boyfriend. They go find Dally ask for help. They go to the church we they live for 5 days away from everyone. Dally comes and visit  take them to Dairy Queen's. They go back to the church. There was a fire and children were stuck in the fire. All 3 of them go to the hospital. Johnny has a 3 degree burn, Dally arm was broken and Ponyboy had a concussion. Johnny talks to pony saying he is too young to die. Dally hears that Johnny dies. Dally turns crazy because he cares so much about Johnny. Dally was going to shoot a store     clerk. As he goes to calls Darry to meet him at the park because the police we looking for him. When they got to the corner of the park Dally was shoot 3 times.
 As for the difference in the book the beginning Ponyboy goes to the movie and walks home while a mustang falls him and while he is a Block away he gets attacked by socs. While in the movie Pony and Johnny meet Dally in the corner. When ponyboy get home late Darry hits him in the book he gets smacked and in the movie in he gets punched. As pony was waiting to hear how was Johnny and Dally as the booked said the press and police asked him questions and in the movie they did not they went home when the doctor and Nurse would not want to say anything. So Johnny at the hospital because he has 3 degree burn as both the movie and book. They also both say that Johnny's mother would like to see Johnny, he said no. As Two-bit and Ponyboy were leaving in the book they describe how the mother look like and the mother starts yelling at Two-bit and ponyboy but in the movie they do not show Johnny's mother. In the book Pony get sick and does not feel well. One day he get a special visit from a socs Randy and as the movie they did not show that part. As for Soda-pop the book talked about his girlfriend Sandy and how he want to marry Sandy one day. As for the movie Soda-pop only mentions Sandy once when him and Steve go to on a date with them.
Did the movie and book of the outsider stay the same?
The director miss up the movie the book was way better. I would like if someone remake the movie and add more parts from the book and put more detail. Since then movies have gotten better for their camera work I would like to see the outsiders more clearly. As for the actors they did fine. As for my opinion I would like to see Jason Statham as Dally,Zac Efron as Soda-pop, Dave Franco as Ponyboy and etc.

Hidden Figures

Hidden Figures By.Margot Lee Shettrly This book is Biography.
This story is mostly about 3 amazing women’s who were completely not appropriated for their hard work with helping for our first man to orbit the earth. Those women change the way we looked at the past. They we all struggling throw this time because this was the time we’re colored could not have the same right as whites do and to make it worse they were women and to be both was super hard of living. It is so amazing how they did not give up with all of the things that happened to them. The 3 powerful women’s name are Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson.

Do you love reading about how people changed the world?
Well I do because I just love how ordinary people change our human world and how this impact us in a big way.  I just love the journey they have
My favorite quote is not from the book but I think it goes with the story so well “Even though we look and sound different, doesn’t mean we can’t not do the samethings like you” said by my mom. As I was reading this book I would always think about the quote my mom would tell me because even though they were black and a women doesn’t mean they could not do the same thing as white men and women.

We real Outsiders

I read the poem We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks. When I read the poem for the first time I was in shocked of how the little lines in the poem can connected to the characters so much in the The Outsiders.In the text “We lurk late” in We Real Cool reminds me of how it connected to the socs because they are always look for a fight especially with any greaser they come upon on. Just because the socs are more high class the Socs think that the Greaser should not be walking around since they poor but not so poor to have clothes on their back. As we need more evidence of why the book the outsiders and the poem We Real Cool has a part in the poem that’s say “We die soon”this goes with the outsiders so good because it reminds me of  Johnny how he died by a 3 degree burn and he was only 16. He wanted to live longer even though his mom does not pay attention to him and his dad hits him he know he is still loved by many greaser cause they have each other’s back. Also as we are talking about Johnny his good buddy name Dally and you might be wondering why I brought him up because Dally and Johnny had a bond like no other greaser had with each other. So Dally saw how Johnny died and all of a sudden he starting to act crazy and because all of his mixed emotions he was doing thing that he was not supposed to do like he’d almost shot a store clerk and he did not listen to the police when they said to go do on his knees. He refused and that is when he got shot. Both text go together because they have so much in common as you wouldn’t think. As you read the outsiders you might like it or  you might have not but no matter the poem goes with the book as like peanuts and peanut butter because they might be in different forms but still have a lot in common. 

10 years from now

                    In 10 years ....

I would be 24 years old. I am hoping by then I could have a good payed job while I am attending college here in Chicago I would like to attend North-Western University. For starters I would be closer to my family and second I heard that North-Western is a good university to become a  doctor or anything in the medical field. I am hoping by the summer of college I would like to travel 🗺to  Paris 🇫🇷and some part of the of the US and then if possible finish the US 🇺🇸and travel to some parts to Mexico🇲🇽 with my sister. As I come back home I will probably be graduating college to be come most like a medical assistant. I am hoping to have enough money so I can buy my parents a house in Wisconsin by the lake. After I run my wild life I would like to settle down and get married, have a house and have kids. 

😍👌Later on I will see what life will take me from there.😍👌

 Ring!Ring!Ring! 
"Hello!" 
"Hi mom how is Texas?" 
"Good...can I call you back our  food is here"
 "Okay love you" 
"Love you too bye". 

As I walked outside I saw my grandma and my sister playing around, I sat and watched them but how can I laugh at them when I was to busy this will be my first birthday without my parents. I was looking into space for a while and as I came back from reality my grandma asked me and my sister 

"Would you guys like to go to the park" 
"Sure" 

I was hoping to have a distraction from my me and my parents problem. As soon as we got to the park my mom was Face Time me. 

"Hi mom" 
"Hi my princesses"
 "Where are you going?"
 "On are way to the mall" 
"What are you going to buy me?"

My mom laughs historically. As we talked for a couple more minutes. We said good bye and I loves you. 1hour pass and not once have I thought about my parents may not  be able to come to for my birthday. My grandma looked at me and called me over and asked me 

"If everything Okay?" I replied 

"No this will be my first birthday with out my parents and I am not trying to sound selfish I just want to speared the day cause that day my parent because they are always working especially my dad" 
"I know but I is not the end of the world " 
"I guess so"
 "Do you want to go home?" 

Is nodded my head yes. I was at the corner of my block and I saw a middle aged man taking out suit cases. I looked at my sister and my sister looked at me. I ask is it them ?  "Yes, I can see that ugly cubs hat!!" We began to run to the middle aged man, as I got to the man I hugged him. I began to cry because I missed my dad to much then I saw my mom come out of my house and then I ran to hug her. My mom was telling me my dad and her wanted to be here for my birthday. That made me cry even more. Now Every March 15 I will remember and that will always be my joyful day.
