Dear parent/guardian: Please
assist your child with today's homework.
Option 1: "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.”
Task: We have discussed how love
and the idea of staying gold are important themes in The Outsiders. Write a
letter to a friend in which you explain how gold and love are both
precious. Remember to warn your friend
about the danger of loving gold too much.
Option 2: "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…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.”
