1) So he can be a 'real' greaser like the rest of his gang. He's doing it, because everyone else is, like Two-Bit. (Except, for a little bit of a different reason.)\n\n2) They are both 'tough' guys and rebels. She likes rebels.\n\nMy class just finished the Outsiders a week ago. I'm doing the final project (Literature Analysis) for it right now.

got this off sparknotes, maybe it will help\n\n\nPerception\nTen of The Chosen’s eighteen chapters conclude with references to eyes, seeing, watching, looking, or listening. Perception and vision is the novel’s dominant motif, bridging the entire text from Reuven’s eye injury at the beginning to the final passage, in which Reuven watches Danny walk away after perceiving an “almost blinding” “light” in Danny’s eyes. Vision in the novel symbolizes the ability to see the world, to see oneself, and to see beneath the surface and into the heart of a matter. As Danny and Reuven mature over the course of the novel, they develop clearer pictures of themselves and of the world around them.\nAfter Reuven’s eye accident, he remarks that “everything looks different.” His experience in the hospital gives him a newfound appreciation of his own health. Later, his friendship with Danny teaches him to look beyond superficial appearances. Their friendship broadens and deepens Reuven’s perception of the world and allows him to relate to and empathize with others’ suffering.\nAs the novel progresses, Potok focuses on other senses besides vision. In Chapter 7, Reb Saunders scolds Danny for hearing but not listening. When Danny reads in the library, he covers his ears to block out sound. As Danny’s friendship with Reuven develops, he learns to be a better listener. As a result of Danny’s experience with silence—which parallels Reuven’s experience with blindness—Danny learns to appreciate words. Furthermore, Reuven’s development is apparent in his descriptive language, which becomes more specific throughout the novel. As he becomes more aware of the world around him, his descriptions become more detailed, displaying Reuven’s improved command of his senses. The novel’s final passage mentions four of the five senses, showing the development both Reuven and Danny have experienced over the course of the novel.

I did a quick search for it and found a snipped at megaessays.com\n\nOf course my personally recomendation would be to read the book and do it yourself, but if you need a start this may be a place to help.

Friend - Its been so long since I have read Our Town or saw the play and it is a classic without a doubt.  I do not recall the 12th birthday so maybe just some ideas.  How about comparing and contrasting it to your own 12th birthday.  Write about the differences in a 12th birthday in their time and space as to today.  What expectations are different, etc.  \n\nListen, if you have it started, its not hard to fluff it out to make your page limit, just do not introduce new information not covered in your opening and expand on what is.\n\nGBY

1) Sawyer might end up killing someone since he has all the guns.\n2) I think the guy in the armory is telling the truth, that he's not an Other.\n3) Saywer's gonna hold on to the guns as long as he can, it makes him feel in control.\n4) Michael will come back soon, but most likely w/out his son.\n5) Not sure if it even was Michael's son sending the messages, it was probably just a trap.  The computer is probably in another hatch somewhere.\n6) Don't remember the heiroglyphics.\n7) The Others abandoned the hatch because they knew someone would come looking for it eventually.\n8) I bet there is at least one or two more hatches.

[For whatever it's worth, I’ve tried recasting it, trying my best not to change the way you wanted to say what you wanted to say, relocating some of your ideas for a more unified presentation, better impact, all the while remaining consistent with your preference for the present tense. The paragraph breakdowns are more for consistency, flow and visual impact. Please verify your quotes; make sure they're verbatim and punctuated as they are in the book. Here goes:]\n\nFear is one of the most powerful emotions that control the way a human being acts in certain circumstances. It contributes to one’s instability and, ultimately, to irrationality.\n\nWilliam Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” is all about fear and its irrational consequences. It sheds light on that kind of fear that may not be of something physical at all. It is the irrational fear of fear itself, the big horrid “Beast of Fear” with claws, eyes, and teeth lurking inside us. It is the fear we prefer to ignore. In “Lord of the Flies,” it is the fear which leads to irrational acts.\n\nIn “Lord of the Flies,” the boys fear almost everything they see and hear on the island, assuming them to be beasts. As the novel progresses, their fear of the unknown beast becomes exceedingly powerful their attitudes towards it become increasingly irrational. Terror paralyzes their minds, leaving them too weak to face the truth about their fears. \n\nThe beast in the novel symbolizes fear flying around on the island. Fear is evident in all the boys, from the nightmares to the belief in the existence of a beast. From the moment the first littlun claims to have seen snake-monster in Chapter 2, even the hunters begin having nightmares of their own. In Chapter 5, Jack, addressing Ralph, says, “You said they dream and cry out. Now they talk not only the littluns, but also my hunters sometimes talk of a thing, a dark thing, a beast, some sort of animal.” (p. 83). Indeed, the boys’ fear of the beast becomes an increasingly important aspect of their lives. The fact that all the boys on the island are younger than thirteen greatly affects the amount of fear that control them. Their cries can only reverberate within the walls of their own nightmares.\n\nFurther, a little boy named Phil dreams of weird animals, saying, “And I was frightened…and then I saw something moving among the trees, something big and horrid.” (p. 85) His mind is so obsessed with “beasties” it simply refuses to accept the reality that it is Simon he see in the dark. As a matter of fact, imagination and fear shape their illusory description of the beast which the twins, Samneric, describe, “There were eyes, teeth, claws. The beast followed us, nearly touched me.” (p. 100) [Question: Is this the way you intended to write this part? Your original posting made them appear like sub-topics.] But beast, it was not; it was a dead parachutist.\n\nFear of the beast totally conquers their minds, making their brains too crippled to think straight. Their imaginations are so powerful, so overpowering and wild that they fail to see the fear for what it is: the beast that impels them to crime.\n\nFear so control them to the point of believing and doing anything, even trying to regain peace and freedom from fear itself by killing the beast. Thus, when Simon comes stumbling out of the dark forest while the boys are doing a victory dance, everyone surrounds him, chanting, "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!" (p. 152) Believing him to be the beast, they poke savagely at him with their spears until the “Beast” is dead. The beast is dead, indeed, and fear has just taken an innocent life.\n\nHowever, not all the boys are too affected by fear. Ralph and Piggy struggle to be logical. \n\nWhen the topic of fear is brought up during one of their assemblies, Ralph declares boldly, “The thing is Fear can't hurt you any more than a dream. There aren't any beasts to be afrai

I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble. I'm having trouble helping you interpret the question being that I haven't read that particular novel. I wish you the best of luck, but I can tell you that several people in your class are probably having the same trouble. So, any interpretation of the question that you would have would certainly be better than nothing!! ;)

Looks like an interesting series of books by Cate Tiernan.  Had to go to Borders to find it.\n\nFrom reading the excerpts it appears to be sort of a 'diary' of a young teen just coming into her own.  She has a lot of decisions to make and a big revelation to cope with.  I'm hoping the series does not get too 'dark', but hey, life has it's darkness sometimes. If you learn something to help you cope with this world, go for it. "an harm none"  So mote it be. \n\nI am surprised no one has even attempted to answer your question, I'm hoping there are readers out there and not everyone lives on the net!

Chapter 1\n The road was dark. I sat on the park bench waiting for my ride but I knew the stranger watching me from across the street was going to make trouble. He had a sour look of hate, peering at me with his cat-like eyes. In his hand he held what appeared to be a knife. I was scared. If my ride didn't show up the inspector would never get the information that I came here to get. Suddenly......\n\nYeah, I write a lot sometimes.
