Ponyboy explains that the greasers rule the poorer East Side of town, while the Socs run the wealthier West Side of town. This oversimplification of the Tulsa setting reflects the characters’ longstanding beliefs that people belong to either one gang or the other, and there is no middle ground. Ponyboy longs to live in a place where no greasers or Socs reside, and he wants to live around “plain ordinary people.” The geographic and social division between the greasers and the Socs doesn’t fade until Ponyboy and Johnny hide out in Windrixville, a pastoral town in the mountains. There, they immerse themselves in nature and spend time reflecting on “the colors of the fields and the soft shadings of the horizon.” In this setting, Ponyboy and Johnny literally shed their social identities when they cut their trademark greaser hair. After saving the children from the burning church, Ponyboy and Johnny become heroes to the Windrixville citizens, solidifying that there exists a setting where they can truly shed their “hood” identities.

The inference that can be made about how building earthships impacts the environment is that it helps by using mostly recycled material instead of natural resources.

create a key-word outline

Explanation:

The key word outline refers to taking a paragraph of words or a speech and going sentence by sentence so as to extract the words that will make up the main and important idea. It means that a student or a person writes the main word or the key word for the entire sentence which provides the meaning of the sentence.

The keyword must contain the most important points of the sentence and should bring out the meaning of the sentence in one point.

Thus in the context, Natasha, a student should make a key word outline of the speech about the Chinese New Year for which she is taking notes of.

Edgar Allan Poe uses unique diction to create a melancholic mood in his story. By using words like “fearing” and “dark,” he creates an aesthetic that’s fitting to the Romantic era. The use of imagery plays an important role in all of poe’s tales. His vivid descriptions creates an image of the story in the reader’s head.
