* "I've been thinking about … that poem…he meant you're
gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new, dawn.
It's just when you get used to everything that it's day. Like the way you dig
sunsets, Pony. That's gold. Keep that way, it's a good way to be, I want you to
tell Dally to look at one…I don’t think he’s ever really seen a sunset…There’s
still lots of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don’t think he know’s.”

golld too much.
Option 2: Base your response on today’s reading and
class discussion.
Task: Make a connection between two texts (there are
no wrong answers, only your best effort matters). Tip: think about what they
are talking about, what is similar and different. What is the message in each
text?
“Love.
What a small word we use for an idea so powerful it has altered the flow of
history, calmed monsters…We use the word love in such a sloppy way that it can
mean almost nothing or absolutely everything.”
"I've been thinking about … that poem…he meant
you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new,
