dlinn [17]

Answer:

You: Um. Mom? Can we talk?

Mother: Yes, honey? What is it?

You: Listen, I know you don't like trips and vacations, but it would mean a lot to me if you joined us this time.

Mother: Darling I told you, I'm not coming this year.

You: You always do this! Why?!

Mother: Because I just don't- why am I explaining myself to you? I am your mother, ok? I don't have to tell you why.

You: We need to do this as a family.

Mother: Honey, listen, I just can't-

You: We're not just going on a vacation, we're making memories, we can't do that without you.

Mother: Listen, it's just too much stress, there's a lot going on. We have to pack and remember everything and buying plane tickets, all of that, is on me. It's a lot of pressure. That's why I never come, sweetheart.

Consider this line from the story: They wailed so horrendously that she actually let down the bolt of the front door so that the

stepladder [879]

A pod is a shell that holds a plant's seeds (such as peas). When these pods become ripe, they burst open, releasing the seeds to the ground.

The comparison implies that the children were desperate to go outside, so that when the door was open, they burst out desperately and suddenly, just like the peas of a pod.

The Outsiders - Chapter 11

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Chapter Eleven

1. True or false? Bob’s parents are partly responsible for their son’s death. Explain your answer.

Randy and Ponyboy have commented that Bob’s parents were too lenient with their son, which made him act out in worse and worse ways. In this chapter, Ponyboy wonders if Bob’s parents loved him too much or too little. Over-indulgence is equated with neglect here, making us think that Bob and Johnny had more in common than it would seem at first glance.

2. Ponyboy compares Bob to several of the members of the Greaser gang, noting Bob’s smile was like Sodapop’s, his eyes might have been like Johnny’s, and his recklessness and hot-temper were certainly like Dally’s. What is Hinton’s point in drawing such clear connections between Bob and the Greasers?

Answer - Again, Hinton is emphasizing the idea that these boys have much more in common than they realize. They are all individuals and contain far more sides/complexities than any label can accurately portray. The foolishness of their hatred is emphasized here.

3. Why, do you suppose, would Ponyboy rather have someone’s hate than his/her pity?

Answer =- Playing the victim is not Ponyboy’s style. He’d rather be hated and still hold some power than to be emasculated by pity.

4. Ponyboy has been a thoughtful voice of reason as the narrator of the story, but at the end of this chapter he’s changed and is now what is called an “unreliable narrator.” What’s going on with Ponyboy here in the last few pages of the chapter?

Answer - Put on your psychologist’s hat as you answer this question. In his deep grief over Johnny’s death, his mind has slipped into the defense mechanism of denial. He isn’t able yet to fully face the events of the last few days, so he’s lying to himself to try to ease his pain. This is interesting when we look at his statement in the first chapter, when he said, “I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.” On some level, Ponyboy knows that Johnny really is dead and that Johnny was, indeed, the one who stabbed Bob. He’s just not ready to deal with everything.

5. What’s another piece of evidence at the very end of the chapter that Darry and Ponyboy have repaired their relationship?

Answer - Darry is care-taking Ponyboy and calls him “little buddy,” a loving term Darry previously used only with Sodapop. Aww.

What role do contemporary myths play in your everyday life such as home with family, at work with colleagues and in media?

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The role of contemporary myths in their daily lives, such as at home with family, working with colleagues, and in the media, is to create concepts of idolatry, admiration, and perception of some common and social senses.

Explanation:

There are some meanings to the word myth, which show the role of contemporary myths in people's daily lives. One of them is related to the first contact that humans have with the world. It is the cosmogony; the mythical accounts of the creation of the world and all that is in it. Another sense is the wonder, the charm, the idolatry that they make of human beings, gods. For example: The Beatles is the greatest rock band of all time. Michael Jackson is the king of pop music. Elvis Presley is the king of rock. Pele is the king of football. And how to forget the "celebrities" made by the media? A third meaning is myth as an explanation of common sense, therefore popular and social. Ex: you can't eat mango and drink milk. One should not feed and bathe, because one can die, the belief that the stars determine our character and destiny, among other popular beliefs.
