Ponyboy smoked two packs in 4 days which is a lot, I can infer that this is an alternative solution to deal with anxiety, pressure, and or stress. ]]> 2019-05-14 14:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906237 224407999c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906246 I think that Two-Bit’s switchblade shows a sign of authority to others and also ldanger. I think this because a switchblade can kill someone therefore making it dangerous and hinting toward danger. It shows authority because if someone has a weapon you respect them, so since he has a weapon he is an respectable figure in the gang. ]]> 2019-05-14 14:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906246 225295732c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906388 The symbol cigarettes propaby represents peace and calmness, the reason why I say this is beacause every time one of the greasers arestressed they smoke a cigarette, so it’s like their way of forgetting about stress and just feel relaxed.]]> 2019-05-14 14:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906388 230161721c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906394 For the greasers the cigarettes are more than a cancer stick it’s way for them to escape there reality and to escape the problems they have.]]> 2019-05-14 14:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906394 228137345c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906408 I think the symbol of the cigarettes are that to keep them calm ]]> 2019-05-14 14:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906408 225118827c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906519 Bob’s rings represents that he holds power over people, he uses it to intimidate people, so i think that it represents the power he holds ]]> 2019-05-14 14:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906519 225122365c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906530 I think the countryside is supposed to represent a world without all the drama, without the Socs, everything is supposed to be perfect, like what Ponyboy thinks. Ponyboy thinks it would be a great place to go because he likes to imagine it, he likes to think of all the positives. He yearns to know more and experience the countryside, no worries, everything is okay, etc.]]> 2019-05-14 14:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906530 226740082c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906587 Blue Mustangs represent Socs. Every time  in the story where a blue Mustang is mentioned, it’s a car filled with Socs. It reminds Johnny of the time that the Socs jumped him since they traveled there in that car. The blue Mustang tells the Greasers and readers that those are Socs.]]> 2019-05-14 14:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906587 229102322c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906822 I think that the countryside represents the peace that the world can hav. I think this because according to Ponyboy the countryside is very peaceful and has barely any crime. He thinks that is is safe and has no gangs for rivalry. ]]> 2019-05-14 14:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906822 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906955 So what cigarettes represents is the way that Ponyboy and the rest of the Greasers calm down. This is their way of calming down and just chilling. This is shown because whenever something happens that is big happens Ponyboy asks for a cigarette to calm himself down this is important to Ponyboy. Although this is how they calm down this is not good because Ponyboy got sick from “calming down” with this. So maybe Ponyboy can’t take much of this because he takes a cigarette after and therefore he gets sick after every experience making him more and more sick...]]> 2019-05-14 14:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359906955 230039513c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359907109 Cigarettes= symbolize the only form of tranquility for them in their otherwise lousy and overwhelming lives so they turn to cigarettes as a form of tranquility and a way to calm down. ]]> 2019-05-14 14:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359907109 222402596c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359907208 The greasers hair represents who they are and what they represent ]]> 2019-05-14 14:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359907208 231268970c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359907517 In the text greaser hair is used  as a sense of identity that’s why socs can scope out greasers even if they’re as tipsy as mountain peak, it’s what makes them stand out it’s what they take pride in. Their hair is what they confide in. This is why they cut their distinct greasy hair as a disguise of some sort when they are on the run]]> 2019-05-14 14:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359907517 222028508c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359908100 In, The Outsiders, the greasers use cigarettes a lot. I think this symbol represents a relief from stress or some negative feeling  because usually when the greasers consume this drug they are in some sort of trouble or they are stressed out. For example, when Ponyboy was in the abandoned church, he started smoking a lot  more than usual. Johnny and Ponyboy were trying to stay hidden and not get arrested, this is a conflict in the story. Cigarets may represent a relief of a negative feeling.  ]]> 2019-05-14 14:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359908100 227321080c20 https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359908284 2019-05-14 14:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mrstrom3/dmvkt0dtgwnk/wish/359908284
