Where I’m From Poem

By: Laysa Castellanos 

I am from home-cooked Caribbean food being cooked almost everyday, the 
smell of frying plantains in the morning. 
I'm from scrapes and bruises us kids receive because we are so reckless outside. 
I am from the “Turn right at the big AutoZone sign” on Wesley Ave.

I'm from big smiles and welcoming hearts, 
From Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
I am from the loud mouths and 
crazy personalities.
I am from “You're talking too loud!” and from “What did you say! Speak up!” 

I am from the strongest people I know. And the most supportive people I know. 
I am from people who take respect and loyalty very serious. 
And most of all, I am blessed to have the family I have. 
Therefore, I am from my family which I perfectly fit into without a
doubt.

On a Sunny Evening

On A Sunny Evening  On a purple sun-shot evening Under wide-flowering chestnut trees Upon the threshold full of dust Yesterday, today, the days are all like these. Trees flower forth in beauty, Lovely, too, their very wood all gnarled and old Into their crowns of green and gold. The sun has made a veil of gold So lovely that my body aches. Above, the heavens shriek with blue Convinced Ive smiled by some mistake. The world's abloom and seem to smile. I want to fly but where, how high? If in bared wire, things can bloom Why couldn't I? I will not die! 1994 Anonymous  Written by the children in Barracks L318 and L417 Age: 10-16 years

Character Analysis From "The Outsiders"~ SodaPop Curtis

SodaPop Curtis is the second eldest brother out of the Curtis brothers. He is movie-star handsome and is very sweet. Soda is a high school drop out and he is not proud of it. He works at the DX gas station so he can make a living for his other brothers. SodaPop is a very optimistic person he is always smiling or joking around. He is really not good at disciplining his brother PonyBoy like the eldest brother Darry is. SodaPop really does not take life serious he lives for the moment but he is serious when it comes to important  situations. SodaPop Curtis changed throughout the book by acting more of his age and controlling over his brother PonyBoy because he does not want his brothers life to be endangered ever again. I like everything about SodaPop but some key things I like about him are, his personality and his perspective on life. He is so happy go-lucky, he likes to make a game out of everything, and I think It's very important to surround yourself with people like him. ...
