HW Mr. Padilla 11-9-15

Chose one of the three modified readings to read. Then choose one of the three option tasks to complete.

* We all had the money to get in it only costs a quarter if you're not in a car but Dally hated to do things the legal way. He liked to show that he didn't care whether there was a law or not. He went around trying to break laws. We went to the rows of seats in front of the concession stand to sit down. Nobody else was there except two girls who were sitting down front. Dally eyed them coolly, then walked down the aisle and sat right behind them. I had a sick feeling that Dally was up to his usual tricks, and I was right. He started talking, loud enough for the two girls to hear. He started out bad and got worse. Dallas could talk …dirty if he wanted to and I guess he wanted to then. I felt my ears get hot. Two Bit or Steve or even Soda would have gone… along with him, just to see if they could embarrass the girls, but that kind of kicks just doesn't appeal to me. I sat there, struck dumb, and Johnny left hastily to get a coke.
