https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha Reread the last paragraph on page 45 and then answer this question: Is Cherry mean for saying this to Pony? Explain why or why not. en-us 2017-01-25 19:17:10 UTC 2025-10-06 10:03:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619668 Yes because what was the reason of getting to know someone and spending time with someone when you don't want to be seen with them in the first place. Even if you just want to "fit in".]]> 2017-01-26 15:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619668 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619783 Yes I do think that Cherry is mean for not talking to Pony. Just because you come from a different place Doesn't mean that you shouldn't talk to that person. But at the same time I would see why she is coming from I think that she doesn't want to get made fun of. But still I would still talk to pony or at least smile of nod. Just because you want to fit in doesn't mean you can't say Hi to another.]]> 2017-01-26 15:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619783 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619806 I believe Cherry isn't meaning to say this. It's more of a "I want to fit in" situation with the Soc's. It is a something you say when you are in a sudden death situation. With the world and whats happening in this part of the story you basically can't be a trader to the Soc's and go to like some other boy who is a Greaser. Because sooner or later you'll get jumped.]]> 2017-01-26 15:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619806 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619861 I think that cherry isn't being mean because she still is friend with him but if other soc's see them together than they will do something bad to pony and cherry could get in trouble or her friends will not hang out with her.]]> 2017-01-26 15:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619861 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619883 Yes. I feel as if she cares too much about how she looks to other people. I think that's pretty wack if you ask me.]]> 2017-01-26 15:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149619883 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620455 Yes,I do think its mean to not talk to Pony boy but,I think the reason why she told him that so she can keep Pony boy and Johnny from having a fight between her boyfriend and the Socs.]]> 2017-01-26 15:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620455 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620547 I don't think Cherry is meaning to be mean, its more like a "social view", because it is considered weird or wrong for Socs and Greasers to like each other or talk to each other. So I assume she isn't trying to draw attention and viewed as a "traitor" or something like that. Also it would protect Ponyboy, because the socs might try to hurt him.]]> 2017-01-26 15:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620547 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620747 Yeah, I kind of think that it is mean because that is what I would consider a fake friend. The reason I would consider that a fake friend is because if you guys are friends and yall feel the vibe then you shouldn't care about how other people think about you or what they are going to say because you guys are in different gangs and those gangs don't like each other. To me it is just like Romeo and Juliet. At the same time I can see how someone would say that Cherry isn't being mean, because she is just following what she knows and she knows that Socs and Greasers don't like each other ]]> 2017-01-26 15:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620747 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620878 I think that Cherry is being somewhat mean to Ponyboy for saying this. I think this because if she cared about Ponyboy she wouldn't care about what people anywhere say or think about Cherry hanging out with him. She needs to have more empathy in my opinion, I would be offended if someone told me the same thing. She isn't as innocent as she seems to be in the rest of the story. Don't care about what others think, unless you have people in your life that actually care about you, those are the people who actually matter. I know that she wasn't trying to be mean, but she was! I see where she's coming from but still it was mean to say.]]> 2017-01-26 15:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620878 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620996 I don't think that Cherry is mean for saying this to Ponyboy. She didn't have a problem with hanging out with him and the boys, she even accepted them. Her saying what she said was only for her protection because she wasn't "allowed" to hangout with the Greasers. It also could have been to protect Pony and the boys form getting jumped.]]> 2017-01-26 15:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149620996 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149621212 I think that Cherry is not being mean because it is protecting Ponyboy. Ponyboy could get beat up by Socs, and Cherry hates fighting so they are both being protected by the words and warnings she gives to Ponyboy. ]]> 2017-01-26 15:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149621212 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149621531 Yes, what cherry said to pony boy was mean because to tell him its not personal people going to take that kind of stuff personal.]]> 2017-01-26 15:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149621531 https://padlet.com/hahn_ashley/9uzbyxc9mwha/wish/149622288 I don't think the Cherry is trying to be mean. I think she's just trying to protect her reputation and she just doesn't want to been seen with him because he's a greaser and she's a stupid Socs.
