All American Boys

    The  book that I had read was called, “All American Boys”. The aurthors are, Jason Reynolds, and Brendan Kiel’s. And it is a novel. In the book there are two main characters that are called Rashad, and Quinn. Rashad was a tennage boy that was going to a friends house in a Friday night for a party. But Before he went to the party, he stopped in a store to buys some things. Out of sudden, this huge situation comes up, and it changes Rashads life. He’s all over the news because of what had happened to him. People stared recording everything, and it went everywhere on online. Everyone started seeing it and sharing it.  But, some people realize that what the person had done to him, can also see that the person was wrong.
     My favorite chapter of Rashad is towards the end of the book. Because, Rashad and all of the people are showing how we need to respect others.
      The second main character is Quinn. Quinn was also a teenager in the book. He ones in the book was hanging out with the person who changed Rashads life. He found out by his best friend when they were in the alley  shooting some bottles. The same night that had happened to Rashad, he was there. Quinn had a best fiend, and he would always talk to her if he has any problems going on, or just to talk.
    I really do recommend this book. Because it gives you a life lesson. Also, what happends in the book, also happends in real life.

Quarter 1 reflection

In 1 quarter, my classes were challenging. The firsts class that was challenging  for me was math. All the math work I’ve done in class, I sometimes didn’t understand it. I did asked for help, and I sometimes don’t because of my shyness. Second challenging class was science. In science class we talked about  magnetism. At first, I didn’t really understand what my teacher was talking about because there was many words that I didn’t understand. I think does are the only classes I struggle 1 quarter. One of my favorite classes are Ela, and science. In ela, we used, and will still use plt. Plt stands for “personal learning time”. For me that is a helpful tool for me, because I get to learn on my own.

My Reactions Of The Movie To The Book Of The Outsiders.

     The novel and the movie Outsiders have some differences. One of differences  is that in the movie, it started when  ponyboy  was writing his them for school. In the book it all started when when ponyboy introduce himself and writes about his family, just like a brief of it. In the book, it said were the rumble was going on. In the movie it showed that the rumble took place in a park with fire next to them. In the book, it said were Johnny was getting beaten by the man of the rings, which was Bob. But, in the movie never showed where Johnny was getting beaten. It only showed when Johnny saw Bob and was looking at the rings he had on. Toward the end of the book, Ponyboy teacher told him to get at least a C for a grade. Ponyboy’s teacher showed that he cared of ponyboy’s grades. Also, for ponyboy to get a C, he had to write a theme. And he did. In the movie, it only showed were ponyboy was writing the theme. It never showed when he was talking to his teacher. And when the teacher was giving him advices in how to get at least a C.

        The book and the movie also have some similarities. One way they're the same is when Dally, Johnny, Ponyboy, and Cherry were at the movies. When Johnny stand up for himself over Dally. Because Dally was bordering cherry. That part happened in the movie and in the book. Second, When Johnny and ponyboy were in the church. Johnny got hurt and had to go to the hospital. One night ponyboy and Dally went to visit Johnny. Johnny had told Ponyboy , “stay gold”. That part had happened in the movie and in the novel. The reason is because that part was important because that was one of the  last words Johnny said before he had past away. Third, after Johnny had past away, he had written a letter to ponyboy. Ponyboy read the letter. That part happened on the movie and on the novel. What also happened in the movie and on the novel was the rumble. It both happened when the greases were waiting the socs to go to their territory to start the rumble. Dally had joined the rumble because he said that he need it to be in the rumble.
       The characters from the movie where kind of off. Meaning they didn't act how did should of. For example, when Johnny stand up for himself over Dally. Johnny seemed to be nervous when he stand up for himself. In the book it seemed that Johnny was confident. Also, in the movie when Ponyboy, and Dally went to visit Johnny at the hospital. Their wasn't any tears coming out from Dally when Johnny has passed away. That shows me that the actor didn't act how he should've just like in the book. Dally in the book seemed to be tough. In the movie, Dally also seemed to be real tough just like in the book. The director knew that in the book, Dally was a tough boy. And the director wanted the actor just to act just like Dally (in some ways) That way the  people can know how Dally really was in the book. And see it in the movie.
