The first problemthat occured was that ponyboy had just finished getting out of the theater when the socs beat him up and dally thought it was also the same peopel that beat johnny up too
I’m pretty sure it’s the first one because Douglass refers to the railroad to the “upper railroad” which is basically him saying it’s not as secretive as it should be
Answer:
Mrs. Robertson's note to Maria Elisa really helps her confidence and relieves her stress at thinking the teacher no longer likes her.
Explanation:
Maria Elisa is poor but she wants to give her favorite teacher a nice gift, just like everyone else in class. However, unlike most people from her class, she can't afford it. She feels very sad about the fact that her mom picked out a pair of stockings to give to Mrs. Robertson and she feels ashamed of having to give it to her, which is why she throws the gift in garbage. However, Mrs. Robertson leaves Maria Elisa a note thanking her for the gift because it's very thoughtful (turns out Mrs. Robertson often tears her stockings).
