English 8

Silent reading and grammar.

Today we discussed the significance of Chapter 5 in The Outsiders and some of the symbolism. We analyzed the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost, and watched a scene from the movie "Gone With The Wind" to understand Johnny's concept of the 'heroic southern gentleman'. We also completed corresponding questions and started Chapter 6.
