HW Mr. Padilla 11.21.16



Homework: dear parents/guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.

Option 1: Read the passage and answer questions below:


“Shut up about last night! I killed a kid last night.  How’d you like to live with that!!?”
1.     .           Why doesn’t Johnny want to talk about last night?

“We’re all cried out now.  We’re getting’ used to the idea. We’re going to be okay now.” …I relaxed.  We could take whatever was coming now.
2..       After he cried, how did Ponyboy feel about his situation?

Of all of us, Dally was the one I liked the least.  He didn’t have Soda’s understanding, or humor, or Darry’s superman qualities.
3.        Who did Ponyboy like the least?

Option 2: Write a paragraph in which you discuss (use these questions to help you  organize your thoughts)
 “It seemed funny to me that the sunset she saw from her patio and, the one I saw from the back steps was the same one. Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.”
A.    Who is talking in this passage?


B.     What does this quoute mean to you? “Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.”


C. Do you belive that people are not that different in the end? And if so, why do people fight so much?


Option 3: Compare and contrast these two passages.  
A.    … "The U.S. is a unique country that stands for something special in the world." One of the things that it stands for is …that a great nation can consist …of … people of different,… cultures can live… side by side…
B.     “It seemed funny to me that the sunset she saw from her patio and, the one I saw from the back steps was the same one. Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.”

What do these two passages have in common?



What is different about them?



What is the message that ties these 2 together?
