The Outsiders



The Outsiders.                         Written by: S.E. Hinton.                       Reviewed by: Me                                    In school we had to read this book in second quarter. It was so good, it had many plot twists and kept me reading. I wanted to finish reading the book as soon as I started. Ponyboy was part of the Greasers. There were two big groups in the neighborhood, the Socs, and the Greasers. The Socs were rich, spoiled kids, while the Greasers were poor kids. Many times the Socs jumped the Greasers when they were walking alone. Pony's parents died in a car crash, so the only family he has left is his fun brother Soda, and his oldest brother Darry. One night Pony and another Greaser, Johnny were in the park. They meet a bunch of Socs are there. They start an argument and they were drowning Pony. Something bad happens which you would need to read to find out.

Milk Chocolate is Better Than Dark Chocolate

Imagine going to the store because you’re in the mood for chocolates. But when you get to the store, you see so many options. There’s pink chocolate, white chocolate, salted caramel, unsweetened chocolate, etc. You have narrowed it down to two choices. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate. That’s why I’m here today, to help you make the right choice, the best choice.  To start, I conducted a poll. A poll to determine how many people will choose milk chocolate over dark chocolate. I had 184 responses to the form, and out of the 184 people who responded, milk chocolate won with a landslide of 133 people choosing milk chocolate! This poll had an age group range of 4th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, and adults. An anonymous person said their reason for liking milk chocolate more, and I quote was “Milk chocolate is sweeter and makes my taste buds happy!” A key reason why milk chocolate is the best is because of its sweet taste.
