Chapter 12 summary
Ponyboy did not have to speak much at the hearing, since his doctor has spoken to the judge about Ponyboy's condition. After the hearing, Ponyboy becomes detached and depressed. The next day at lunch, Ponyboy goes to the grocery store with Steve and Two-Bit for candy bars and Cokes. When a group of Socs accosts him, he threatens them with a broken bottle, saying he refuses to take any more of their intimidation. Ponyboy's uncharacteristic show of hostility alarms Steve and Two-Bit, and they warn Ponyboy not to grow hard like Dally was. That night as Ponyboy and Darry fight about Ponyboy's grades, Sodapop runs out of the house, upset that Sandy has returned a letter he wrote her unopened. Darry explains that Sodapop is not the father of Sandy's child and acts puzzled that Sodapop never told Ponyboy. Ponyboy reflects that he probably acted uninterested when Sodapop tried to talk about his problems. Worried, Darry and Ponyboy go find Sodapop. He tells them their constant fighting is tearing him apart. Ponyboy thinks that Sodapop will hold them together. The boys run back home. Ponyboy looks at Johnny's copy of "Gone With The Wind" . Ponyboy realizes that he wants to tell the story of his friends so that other hoodlums will not nurse their anger at the world and ignore the beauty in it. He begins to work on his English theme, starting with the words that begin "The Outsiders": "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home."

Hi Kids!
Watch Bob Blast # 355 on YouTube. It is about single point perspective that he calls tunnel vision. Being aware of where on the paper or canvas makes the art get and hold the attention of the viewer.
With found papers and crayons or markers, make an art work composition that demonstrates tunnel vision and looks like a landscape on Mars.
Love to see your work!

Outsiders Chapter 11 summary
Ponyboy was told to stay on bed rest for a week after he woke up from his concussion. He finds a picture of Bob the Soc in Sodapop's high school yearbook. Bob's grin reminds him of Sodapop's. Ponyboy wonders if Bob's parents hate him, saying he prefers their hatred to their pity. Looking at the photograph and remembering conversations with Cherry and Randy, Ponyboy concludes that Bob was cocky, hot-tempered, frightened, and human. Randy arrives at the house to talk to Ponyboy and behaves with shocking insensitivity. Not thinking of what Ponyboy has suffered, Randy says he is worried about being associated with the violence. They discuss the hearing scheduled for the next day. Ponyboy, in a delirious state, says that he killed Bob himself and that Johnny is still alive. Darry asks Randy to leave.

Today we learned about the Spanish Main: trade convoy and piracy. In the late 16th century spices where very expensive. When native people would die they would be replaces by African slaves. There is a mine that is still used to this day, back then the miners would go to work on Monday morning and wouldn’t go back home until Saturday, and their wife’s would have to bring them food. Most pirates didn’t become rich because they spent their money on stuff as soon as they got it.

Feeling sick before the rumble, Ponyboy swallows five aspirin and struggles to eat his dinner. The boys have bathed and made themselves look "tuff," and leave for the rumble excitedly. Ponyboy feels a sinking feeling when he sees the other greasers. Tim Shepard's gang and the others seem like genuine hoods. Twenty-two Socs arrive in four carloads to fight the twenty greasers.

The Monday art lesson is good for today. And, go all the way and paint one or two seascapes each as Bob demonstrates.
Today, I'm a bit sickly. I'm reacting to my 2nd Covid shot. Feel yucky, but worth it!
Have fun. Later this summer I should be able to come to you and we 3 can do art!

Chapter 8 summary
Two-Bit and Ponyboy go to visit Johnny and Dally in the hospital. Johnny, pale and weak, whispers that he would like Ponyboy to finish reading "gone with the wind" to him. His mother shows up to see him, but she is a mean spirited, nagging woman and Johnny refuses to see her. As Ponyboy and Two-Bit leave, she accuses them and blames them for Johnny's condition, and Two-Bit insults her. Dally is recovering nicely in the hospital, and for the first time ever Ponyboy feels warmly toward Dally. Dally says that Tim Shepard, the leader of another gang of greasers, came in to talk about the rumble. Dally asks for Two-Bit's black-handled switchblade, and Two-Bit gladly hands over his prized possession without even asking why Dally needs it. On the way home, Ponyboy and Two-Bit see Cherry Valance in her Corvette. She says that the Socs have agreed to fight with no weapons. Ponyboy asks her to go see Johnny, but she says she cannot because Johnny killed Bob. She says that Bob had a sweet side and was only violent when drunk, as he was when he beat up Johnny. Ponyboy calls her a traitor, but he quickly forgives her. He asks her if she can see the sunset on the West Side, and when she says she can, he tells her to remember that he can see it on the East Side too.

Today we learned about Columbus and the new world. People gave Columbus 3 ships to travel. On this trip they mostly ate fish and the dodo bird was confirmed to be extinct from sailers eating them for easy food. Columbus was beached on the Bahamas which was not called that when this happened. When he got there he thought he was in India, he picked 6 people to teach Spanish so they could communicate. Columbus didn't like laziness and if he saw it happening he would beat the people. He later went to jail for 6 weeks before being put on trial, after trial he got out of prison and died about 15 years later.
