4Q #5 "Trouble", Summary


Summary

As Henry and his mom went to go check up on Franklin, Franklin was looking for Henry. As soon as Franklin seen Henry, Franklin said “Katadin.” Henry didn’t known what meant. Then He thought about it, and remember. Franklin had told him “If you climb the “Katahdin," you have guts. You can handle anything.” This tells me that, if Henry climes the “Katadin”, he could handle “trouble”.  Louisa came out of her room and Henry seen her. As there mother walked in to the kitchen Louisa ran straight to her mother and gave her a big hug. Henry went to school the next day. All of his teacher was asking him question like “How is your brother?”, “Is it true that he lost his arm?” Was he in pain?” and more….. 

As I’m reading this book. there was a memory moment. I know this because, in the book it states “Handle Trouble. Like, suppose you hear at school that someone who doesn’t deserve to be at Longfellow Prep is talking with Louisa. And maybe he wants to do more then talk.” This proves thats Henry had a flash back of his brother telling him about the “ Katahdin”.

4Q #4 "Trouble", Summary


Summary

They haven’t seen Louisa ever seen Franklin accident. Henry got an kayak. 
“He hadn’t really decided where he was going”. He had explored north along the coast. "Later, he had explored south near Manchester, paddling among the marina docks and the hight prowed boats, then along beaches stretched beneath the houses of Old Money—like his own”. In the morning he headed straight out from Salvage Cove. He is doing the is because he wants to keep his mine off of his brother Franklin accident. As Henry was kayaking, he seen a dog in the water. He went to go help the dog but the dog was being a bit pain in the butt. As soon as Henry got to the shore. Henry was laying on the floor and the dog was too. “Dog and boy breathing heavily and to the same rhythm, the salt strong in their mouths. The dog was not in good shape, the dog was really skinny and you could she her bones. Henry thinks the reason why she was in the water is because she was looking for food. Henry took the dog to the kitchen to feed here. His father came in the kitchen and he seen the dog, at first he did not like the dog, but then he look in her eyes and he feel in love with the dog. Henry’s family went back to the hospital and Franklin has another seizure.


Throughout this book. I think that Henry is a brave and intelligent kid. I say that because he is going through a lot. Such as, him dealing with his father saying “Stay out of Trouble”, his brother having that accident and having seizures, Henrys little sister doesn’t want to come out of her room cause of Franklin accident. I know this because in the book it states “He kicked off his shoes and rolled up his pants, drew on the life jacket, then carried the kayak into the water until it floated bow up, stern up, blowup, stern up on the low waves.” This proves that Henry wants to keep his mine off of everything, and not worry even tho he is still worry for his brother.

4Q #4 "Trouble", Summary


Summary

Henry father told him "that if you build your house fed enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you”. They lived where their family use to live for 300 years. Henry house begun in 1678 with his seventeen ancestors. Henry has a brother name, Franklin, and a sister name, Louisa. On Sundays, Henry’s family would go to St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. His family had owned a pew since 1680.  Henry was one of the smaller rugby players. "Blythbury-by-the-Sea was a town that Trouble could not find”, as they say. Henry’s 14th birthday the straps of the backpack his parents had given him so he could show Franklin how ready he is for he can go to the hiking trip up “Katahdin", and Franklin think the Henry ready to go so he "agreed to take him”. Someone had hit Franklin with there car when Franklin was running and they are at the Hospital. He had "assess the damage”.  Henry’s mom had left an letter saying that about the accident. “Franklin’s arm was gone. That his brain had swollen and that the Doctors were using drugs to relieve the pressure”.

Throughout my reading I have noticed that Henry's dad was constantly saying "Stay away from trouble".  This reminds my of an Again and Again moment.  I know this because the text states "Blythbury-by-the-Sea was a town that Trouble could not find".  This proves that Henry's father Does not want him to get in trouble or hurt because he constantly saying "Stay away from Trouble". Anther reason why I know his is because in the texts it states, "There was only Now. On the hospital. Where they all sat in the middle of Trouble". This proves that there is "Trouble" no matter why they go.

4Q #3 "The Outsiders" Summary


Summary

Johnny went out too get thing rot eat and stuff. Johnny looked at Pony Boy and he say, Were gonna cut our hair, and you’re gonna bleach your”. Pony Boy does want want to cut off his hair. They are doing this because they need to be  disguised. When Pony Boy and Johnny was looking at the sunset and it reminds him of something. I reminds him of a pome “Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to told. Her early leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay”.  


Memory Moment

This is a memory moment because Pony Boy thought of a poem that he read once. He was thinking about the poem when Johnny and Pony Boy was looking at the sunset. I know thins because on page 77 it states "I was remembering a poem I’d read once”. On page 77 the pome is there "Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to told. Her early leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay”.  This proves that he had a flash back. 

4Q #3. The Outsiders Summary.


Summary

As they were running away, Phony Boy boy was thinking about Soda Pop and Darrel. He really wants to go back home but he can’t. They stopped at a church to hide out, it took them 45 minutes to get there. Pony Boy and Johnny is really scared. They were only think about Two Bit, Sodapop, Darrel. They think that they might not see theme again. They just want to get this over with. They do not have enough money or food and they are really nervous. I think that they should've think twice before action


Contrast and Contradictions

The is more like a contrast and contradictions. I say this because Johnny did not mean to kill one of the Sco, he just reacted because out his hole life he had family problems with his family. He did not mean to kill Bill. I know this because on page 57, it states “I was shaking. I want a cigarette, I want a cigarette. I want a cigarette, We had smoked out last pack.” This states that they are really nervous and they did not know what to do.

4Q Summary 2. The Outsiders.



Summary.

Pony Boy went home really late and Darrel was really scared. When he got home Darrel was yelling at him, and then Darrel slapped Phony Boy in the face. Darrel was the first person that ever hit Phony Boy, so Phony Boy ran alway to Johnny’s house. Then Phony Boy told Johnny that they where running alway. Johnny had no questions, he just went with the flow. Phony Boy went back home, but he is not talking to Darrel no more. Johnny and Pony Boy was at the park and they seen the blue Mustang, it was the Soc. The same ones that beat up Johnny. They came out the car and they were mucking fun of them because they are Greaser. Pony Boy got really made and he started to make fun of the Soc. Johnny got really scared, so they try to make a run for it but they caught them. They were drowning Pony Boy  and Johnny killed one of them, because they where drowning Pony Boy. They other Soc ran when Johnny killed Bob. They went to Buck house to get stuff for they can run away. Buck was Dally's rodeo partner. He gave them a gun and 50 dollars. They are on there was to Jay Mountain.

Pony Boy is a brave kid. The reason why I say this is because nothing will not get in his way for nothing. He does not give up what he started. He will always have a plane fort everything and he always be there for his friends and family. Something with Johnny. He had Pony Boys back when the Soc was drowning him. I know this because in the book on page 55, it states " you know what greaser is? Bob ask. White trash with long hair". Then Pony Boy said "You know what a Soc is? White trash with    mustangs and madras."This proves that he has his back no matter what. You know what they say, "Family comes first then friends."
