Why did you decide to run away? I mean, I know Darry might not be the best brother and he only hit you because he cares, and now, you’ve run off with Johnny after he killed Bob the head soc. Now you two are in deep trouble. The police and socs will be after you and the rest of the greasers. There will be questions to the rest of the greasers, they will find out you committed a murder and worry. I’m guessing Sodapop and Darry are both at home scared right now that you might have been killed, or will maybe never come back.
I think it was also very unnecessary for Johnny to have killed that soc. He was running away from him. I know you were almost about to breath your last breath Ponyboy, and it’s not your fault Johnny murdered the soc. He was just trying to protect you, but he also kind of ruined your reputation, and your life. Going to Dallas was a good Idea though, you got a gun for protection, and you got some new clothes even though there way to big on you. You also managed to get $50 to start you off on your new life.
Now you two are basically criminals, trying to run away from home after murdering a young boy. You guys even took a train to get out of town. You’re going to have to learn how to blend in while you’re there, well, you will eventually, word will get out soon about this you know. How are things for you now, I mean, you are a run-away child living in that old abandoned church? It sounds pretty creepy. Well I sure hope you can go back to your family all safe and cozy, like in the dream you had while sleeping at the church.
I really do hope you can get home to your regular everyday life. People are already worried about you and it won’t be the same without you. I couldn't imagine the pain and suffering your going through, but you handel the sittuation very well. If I was in your spot, i wouldn't be able to go through life nearly as easily as you. Well, I hope you will make it home as soon as possible. I guess i'll talk to you later Ponyboy.
Your friend, Alec
Alec,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great writing piece I love how the words flow and you can really hear the voice in it as well. You reefer back to the story very well and I just really enjoyed reading it.
I agree with you Alec, but I think that you shouldn't have said "You should go back to live with your family and be safe and cozzy" because he is technically a criminal and if he goes back home he might get caught by the police and go to jail. But other than that I thought that this was a well written letter.
