The Outsider's Seminar Reflection
Taken from internet
Reaction: In the seminar Bryce asked why did the greasers take pride in being a greaser but don’t like it when other people call them greasers. I never really thought about this and it caused me to really think about if people like what if we call them even if they call themselves that. I began to wonder if the Socs like to be Socs or I they wanted to be called something else.
Connection: In the seminar we discussed how kids in wealthy family expect to get expensive gifts for their birthday and for Christmas. This reminded me of how my friends would get nice stuff like iPods and Ipads for their birthday or Christmas. If I wanted an iPod or Ipad I would have to actually earn the money and buy it myself, while their parents would just give it to them.
Self-evaluation: In this seminar I felt like I did give my input enough. I could improve on clarifying because when I said something or tried to explain something I felt as if I was really just confusing everybody.
Most Beautiful Line: “‘Ponyboy, listen, don’t get tough. You’re not like the rest of us and don’t try to be.’ “To me this line is the most beautiful because Two-Bit understands that Ponyboy doesn’t have to be like the rest of them. Ponyboy could achieve a lot if he just tries to be who he wants to be.
