Living an Unknown Mexican Life

Hello guys, TWBS here talking about my Heritage and I can tell you right now, I have a a lot to learn about and hopefully you guys can tell me about yours in the process too!

       I am not really knowledgable about my Heritage, like the only thing I really know is some songs, food, and holidays. Wow, I actually do have a lot things. I just can't really explain a lot about it. There is this thing though that on Christmas Day my mom will make a Christmas Circle decoration with a ring of tamales. She makes this every year and I don't have knowledge of this circle of tamales but my mom always does it for Christmas so it must mean something for . Also when there is a birthday we will sing this song in Spanish, like the tamale, I don't know what it means, but I know it is mainly sung on birthdays and my brother is really cheesy when it comes to the song since he brings out a radio just to put the song on. For Holidays we have one called children's day, it is basically a holiday celebrated for the new generation and what they do to help the older generation in chores or daily needs, the holidays is meant for the kids to have fun for the day. There is also Mexican Independence day which is kind of self-explanatory, like the fourth of July it is celebrated when had won Independence from Spain gaining control of the south land of North America. But, as I said before I don't know a lot about my country, these are the main thing I can name off the top of my head and it's pretty funny because I can ask my mom or dad and they tell me to google it and Google won't tell me as much unlike people who could tell me that actually are from Mexico, but yeah, that is some stuff about my Mexican Heritage.

The Outsider's Inside Layer (Theme)

Hey y'all this is the Whole Blogging Show where I'll review books and you'll listen!
This week I will be talking about the book "The Outsiders" and what I believe the theme is for the book.

Throughout the book you see many changes for the characters like Darry, Johnny, and Ponyboy and I believe that book's theme is friends can change who you are and how you'll act in life. The claim for this is when Johnny and Ponyboy were at the church and didn't really have anything to support them when they were on the run from the cops. They didn't have any entertainment and when did, it was a book. Ponyboy had read this book aloud at times to Johnny called "Gone with the Wind" and Johnny never really understood it, but when Ponyboy said the poem Johnny questioned it and sort of understood what it meant. This was a turning point for Johnny because the poem meant something to him. It says, "'You know,' Johnny said slowly, 'I never noticed colors and clouds and stuff until you kept reminding me about them. It seems like the never there before.' he thought for a minute. 'Your family sure is funny.'" This shows how he had changed. Johnny was really quiet and at the point he was more comfortable with talking later having him save a bunch of kids, sure he had died, but he died a changed man and hero. The death of Johnny had changed Ponyboy due to Pony not wanting to think he was dead, but after all of it stayed strong and moved on, he wanted to be better. Darry had also told him not to let one death keep him down showing Pony to have the change in his life to make him stronger and be a positive person. The evidence to support this is, "...But schoolwork's not the point. You're  living in a vacuum, Pony, and you're going to have to cut it out. Johnny and Dallas were our buddies, too, but you don't stop living because you lose someone." And then when Pony got the Gone in the Wind book he was reminded about the poem he read to Johnny. Johnny returned that book to Pony want him to tell Dally, but Dally was no longer, but he didn't think of that, he thought of the kids who were of wrong streets of the cities. My evidence to support this is long but here it is, "Suddenly it wasn't only a personal thing to me. I could picture hundreds and hundreds of boys living on the wrong sides of cities, bots with black eyes who jumped at their own shadows. Hundreds of boys who maybe watched sunsets and look at stars and ached for something better. I could see boys going down under street lights because they were mean and tough and hated the world, and it was too late to tell them that there was still good in it, and they wouldn't believe you if you did. Ain't was too vast a problem to be just a personal thing. Thee should be some help, someone should tell their side of the story, and maybe people would undertone then and wouldn't be so quick to judge a boy by the amount of hair oil he wore. It was important to me. I picked up the phone book and called my English teacher." This shows how he thought of Johnny as the boy and he didn't want people to judge the people like that. Leading to write the book The Outsiders, which was about people who were judged as someone different, which mainly consisted of how Johnny was judged. But Johnny had changed and Pony had changed because of a stronger friendship. That is why it's the theme of this book.

Dark and Darker

I felt as if the book is getting more and more dark. I mean come on, Johnny killed someone and the description for how he did it was just scarring me. It said, "A dark pool was growing for him.." Geez! And to the Johnny was the one who wouldn't "hurt" a fly leading to him murdering a soc. I don't mean to sound crazy, but I'd do it too, but I am not him so I would obviously not do it making him crazy not me! Another thing, I think Darry is going to lose it, he's probably angry at him since he was angry when he would lecture Ponyboy for instance when snapped at him slapping him across the face. It said, "I exploded. 'You don't yell at him!' I shouted. Darry wheel around and slapped me so hard that it knocked me against the door." It also mentions, "Darry scream, 'Ponyboy, I didn't mean to!' but I was at the lot by then and pretended I couldn't hear." Just think what will happen now, he might not be sorry anymore! In short Ponyboy and Johnny are going to be electrifying people in the news and Darry will grow with anger with rage at Ponyboy and Soda!
