Party Girl
Party Girl was an amazing book! It was suggested to me by one of my fellow classmates and friend Karina Giraldo. Party Girl is about this girl name Kata and her best friend Ana. Ana is really all that Kata had because her moms sick, depressed and she's never met her dad. Katas mom is struggling both financially and she's also bringing a new guy home all of the time. Kata has to take care of her mom. When Ana dies Kata is confused about what to do now or how she will live on with her life. They were both involved in a gang. Now Kata is left alone to find out what she wants to do.

75% To Go
Quarter one. Ahhh some good memories, some bad, some mixed emotions and.. wait what am I even saying Quarter one went amazing! There were sometime where I might have been tired and not been playing much attention but I always caught up. I'm pretty happy with my grades, I've worked hard to get them and I'm proud I guess you could say. I also have a test in ELA that no matter how many time I redo it I keep getting 7/10! So I guess you could say that's kind of a bummer. Besides that Quarter one wasn't really hard and I really enjoyed it. I didn't really join any clubs. I told myself I would join Cross Country and Me to We. I didn't join Cross Country because I didnt have my physical, and I just keep forgetting that Wednesdays after school is Me to We!
Book to Movie (The Outsiders)
Similarities
These are some similarities from the film and the novel. The drive in movie scene was almost exactly the same as it was written in the novel. While watching the movie I even recognized some of the same lines that were said between Cherry and Dally. Another thing that was similar between both was Johnny's death scene. Right before Johnny died he pulled Ponyboy close and said “Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold”.
Differences
These are some differences between the movie and the novel. In the novel it only mentions Ponyboy having a dream in the past, but in the movie he has a dream everytime he falls asleep. Another thing is that in the beginning of the novel he gets beat up by socs, but in the beginning of the movie he just walks around town with Johnny and Dally. One last thing that was different was when Dally got shot by the cops and died, the Greasers were already with him, but in the movie the greasers got there as he died.
Evaluation
One big thing that really bothered me about the movie was they didn't involve Sodapop in the movie as much as they did in the novel. Johnny wasn't anything like what I thought he would look like in the movie, but overall I think the director choice good characters for The Outsiders. Another character I was iffy about in the movie was Marcia. She looked nothing like I thought she would look and it's the same thing with the personality. I also wasn't really happy with who they chose the play Bob.
