HW Mr. Padilla 11.18.16


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.
