 * FIGHTING WITH SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY RELATED TO YOU**

//The Book//
Some of the characters would say, "It's fighting. Who cares!" In this category would be Dallas Winston, Two-bit Matthews, and Steve Randall. Some characters, however, like Ponyboy Curtis and Cherry Valance, would say not to do it, because it's fighting, and it's with family, so it should be wrong.

The character I would relate with is maybe Ponyboy Curtis, because I sometimes don't like fighting. Fighting with relatives would just be wrong, so I would try to avoid it at all costs. I will fight if I have to, but usually I try to avoid it.

//You//
If I was a character, the book might either not have Ponyboy and Johnny running away to the church on Jay's mountain, or maybe I would come for them instead of Dally. I would have helped out in the rumble, only because I had to, and there would be just one more character to watch sunsets. I would be like maybe a mix between Ponyboy and Steve Randall.

The relationship with my father is very strenuous, like if you do only one thing wrong, you end up being yelled at and/or hit, kind of like the relationship between Ponyboy and Darry, or Johnny and his parents. It's significant because it adds some sensitivity into my life.

//The Book//
I think that Johnny's switchblade is the most significant. It represents fear, because Johnny carries it because he's afraid of being attacked by Socs, death, because it makes Bob's life void, (has no value or worth because it was gone), and friendship, because it liberates Ponyboy from the freezing, crushing death of the fountain. It has so much attached to it that it carries a huge degree of significance. I think that the park after Ponyboy was rescued is the most striking or the most significant because it was kind of like, "That didn't happen. How could that happen? Nothing happened and I'm going to go on with my life. Everything is normal and nothing happened." So it's like there's some conflict between "It happened and you'll have to live with it" and "No it didn't happen and my life is going to go on normally."

//You//
It has no affect on my MyMeaning statement because you can argue with relatives wherever you are. Nothing (location-wise) is going to hold you back from arguing with a relative. It could happen on the steppes of Mongolia to a suburban home in Missouri to a poor person's shack in Jamaica to the mansion of the President of France. It doesn't hold anyone back. I think things from my past life (my life as a 0-6 year old) affect my life more than anything, because they have so much memory and significance attached to them. I think, "I remember this. I used it for this or used it for that. I couldn't bear to give it away." Call me sensitive, call me sissy, call me attached to items; I'll still do what I used to do.

//The Book//
They talk tough so that they can hide whatever is inside that could make them lose their image. I'm sure that even Dallas Winston would have at least one thing inside that he tried to hide to protect his image. So he talks dirty and he talks trash and it makes him look and sound tough/tuff. It lets them conceal their problems. The conversation would probably be about fighting and their fighting style. It would be a short conversation, with maybe only two people. One person would start the conversation, there would be a response, then a long, 2-minute period of awkward silence.

//You//
I don't really use a lot of slang words, which says that I don't know much about modern culture. I don't know what a lot of slang words mean, so I don't use them in case I get something wrong.

//The Book//
The central conflict of this book is probably the rivalry between Greasers and Socs. Ponyboy and Johnny both became victims of this rivalry and were forced to run to Jay's Mountain. Dally was proud that he was a Greaser and wanted to show it to the Socs that they shouldn't mess with him. Steve Randall fought the Socs because he hated them, Sodapop fought because it was fun, and Two-Bit fought because everybody else did. Cherry Valance and Randy were the two Socs that were affected by the conflict, because Randy was Bob's (the dead Soc's) best friend and Cherry was Bob's girlfriend. Ponyboy and Johnny were forced to run away, so I would say that they're almost equally affected by the conflict.

//You//
The greatest conflict that I ever had was when lots of things were happening and my dad got frustrated about it and he started to yell at me and I started to yell and we yelled at eachother for a half hour. After that, I couldn't ask him for anything or ask him to do anything for me. It lasted for 2 whole months, through which we couldn't talk to another without becoming angry. It was kind of a "problemma" because it was a cross between a problem and a dilemma. It was a problem because it was extremely long term (2 entire months) and it was a dilemma because it had a solution that just wasn't being acted out.
