Bob Sheldon-By: Jack Epstein
6 word Memoir// Mean kid, three rings, SOC gone
Mrs. Schwartzman August 26, 2016
Jack Epstein English/Prd â…š Six Word Memoir
My Six word memoir for Bob Sheldon was, Mean kid, three rings, SOC gone. I put mean kid because he was always beating up the younger greasers like when he punched Johnny and was going to drown Ponyboy, but Johnny stabbed him to death. I chose three rings because he always wore three gold rings on his right hand and he would hit greasers with them. Finally I chose, SOC gone because when Johnny stabbed him to death everyone was shocked even Johnny was, but Bob was never seen again. This event changed some people's vision on fighting. Bob was an exciting character, and when books have characters like that you know it will be good to read.

Period 6 Six Word Memoir
My memoir, “worker,tall,friend,compassionate,cocky,smart” represents Steve Randle. First, as a man who is intelligent and works very hard to earn a well off life. In the story Steve Randle becomes best friends with Sodapop. Steve is mean to Sodapop’s younger brother Ponyboy. Steve Randle throughout the story tries to achieve success and rights even though he is poor as a Greaser. Steve is very tall. Next, Steve Randle is very compassionate for Sodapop. Steve Randle and the gang he is in called the Greasers is having trouble gaining rights as a poor a gang. After the death of Johnny, Steve and the Greasers are determined to beat up the Socs gang and win rights and territory. After their gang fight they will probably never fight again because the gang fight solved the problem of the Greasers and the Socs. The Greasers realized that they were similar to the Socs gang such as the similar problems both the gangs have. My memoir tells the story of Steve Randle’s life.
Johnny Cade-Kelly
Suicidal Thoughts. Hope Found. Too Late
Kelly Fernandez
“Suicidal Thoughts. Hope Found. Too late�- This quote represents Johnny very well simply because of the order of events. Johnny Cade was a very sad character at first, he says he wants to kill himself because of his parents. Then, He saves the kids from the burning and collapsing church. While he is dying in the hospital, paralyzed, wishing he was a living and exploring. It is too late for Johnny. Johnny lived a very short and sad life but at the end he figures it was worth it.

Mack Randy Adderson Six word Memoir Best friend Dead. A scared leader
Mack Macey
Randy Adderson Six word Memoir
Randy Adderson is the most important Soc. The Socs are a rival gang of the greasers. Randy is like a normal person in that gang but he gets very sad. The Socs leader Bob gets stabbed by a character named Johnny. After that Randy becomes very confused and scared. He was talking to Ponyboy and he said that these two gangs are very similar. This memoir fits Randy because at the end of the story or novel some of the readers think that Randy left the city because he didn’t appear at the big rumble. Randy is a good guy and in my opinion when he joined the Socs he didn’t realize what he was getting into. So I think my six word memoir fits Randy Adderson perfectly.

Max Gipe - Memoir - Bob Always Drunk. Jumping greasers. Tragically stabbed.
Citations: "How to Deal with Negative Comments on the Hub Pages." HubPages. HubPages, n.d. Web. 25 Aug. 2016.
Max Gipe - Paragraph The six word memoir that best describes Bob is “When Drunk. Jumping greasers. Tragically stabbed.” Bob is Randy’s best friend. He is described as a really nice person by Cherry when he is not drunk, but when he is drunk he is a whole different person that jumps Greasers and injures them. This memoir is perfect for him because it shows how he becomes a bad person while drunk even though he is told to be a great person while sober and he was stabbed to death by Johnny. This memoir and story shows how you can naturally be an incredible person but alcohol and drugs can bring out the worst of you.
Nico Puttre - Memoir for Dally Tough Walnut; Yet Easy to Crack
Nico Puttre - Paragraph for Memoir My memoir is for Dally Winston, who had no other choice but to become a hoodlum so he could survive. The memoir “Tough walnut; Yet easy to crack; represents Dally because he is a tough kid who hates the world and loves absolutely nothing in it. One kid then changed that forever. Johnny, the gang pet, was the only thing that was important to Dally, and when Johnny died, it affected Dally. He then committed suicide in a gallant way, aiming an empty gun at police, and then calling all his friends to come ‘save’ him as he got shot down by cops. He died in a way he wanted to and in a way Johnny would have expected him to.
