//The Book//

 * What would the characters in the novel have to say about your Meaning Statement? (You can come at this from the perspective of any/all of the characters in the book. Would they think that it was a good idea? Would they call you an idiot for trying to achieve something like that? Would they simply agree that it is something valuable?)


 * **><>< I think that some would agree and some would disagree that they want to be tuff, but cant because they want to show what they really feel but it would seem weak and you would be basically asking for trouble, while others (like ponyboy) would think that they to want to be tough (or appear to be) by concealing their true feelings ( the deep ones) and some would just want to jump me and give me a haircut.(No!)**


 * How is the the character that you relate to, most like you? (You can compare and contrast you and the character you have chosen in any way that you like, but make sure that you think about all of the ways that you are similar.)
 * **><>< I think (or would like to) that i realate to Two-bit. I really dont take stuff very seriously and kinda just try stay relaxed and calm and try to keep others the same way.**

//You//

 * If you were a character in the novel, how would the book change? (You can rewrite a part of the story, write about a time before the book started, continue the book's storyline, or fill in one of the gaps in the story. Think about how your Meaning Statement would be played out in your part of the story.)


 * What is the one relationship in your life that helps to explain your Meaning Statement most clearly? How is that relationship significant in your life?
 * **><>< One such relationship would probably be between me & my friends (no names named) You have to understand most of my friends are guys, not all but almost, and most of them think they have to do stuff that would make them seem really tuff/tough (e.g. skateboarding, tough talk, ect)**
