Randy Anderson Searching more. Lost friend. Learned acceptance.
Tori Hagenlocker
Six Word Memoir “Randy Anderson”
The memoir “Searching more. Lost friend. Learned acceptance” represents Randy Anderson, because of how his perspective on life changes throughout the story. At the beginning of The Outsiders, it explains how he and all the Socs have everything, but continuously go searching for more in life, which is what is explained the beginning of the memoir. Near the middle of the story, his best friend Bob is killed after they were irresponsible, got drunk, and attacked two Greasers. After this incident he realized that the Socs and Greasers both had problems and were all individuals. He decided not to show up to the rumble because he realizes that no amount of fighting will fix the economical difference between the two groups, so they should stop attacking each other. Randy learns acceptance at the end of the story and becomes a better person. Tori Hagenlocker

Dumb,funny,but tough,family life
Dimi Stavrinides
The six word memoir that I wrote describes Two-Bit because the way he is, is written in my memoir. Two-Bit is the comedian of the Greasers. He made people laugh when they were sad and was just always having a good time. Also,Two-Bit is a very tough Greaser because this is the only family he has so he protects them always. The toughness level he shows when he fights is very high. Two-Bit along with being tough is also all about family. When anyone of the Greasers is jumped he takes it very seriously because the family he only has the Greasers. Two-Bit Matthews is a family man with a huge heart who is dumb but funny.

Cherry Valance Victoria Poliak
“I’m On West Sunset So Pretty”
Victoria Poliak Six Word Memoir Cherry Valance
Cherry Valance is a high school girl that is in the book “The Outsiders” which was placed in the 1960’s. She has curly red hair and that is the reason for her name. She is part of the Socs group which is on the west side of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Socs have money and they are more socially active which is where the name Socs comes from. When talking to Ponyboy (a 14 year old who lives on the East said), Cherry tells him that she does not believe in violence after she hears that their gang is going to a brawl. After, Cherry is talking to Ponyboy and she tells him that she watches the sunsets at dusk. He tells her that he watches them too on the east side. Then they talk about how it is the same on both sides and how in my opinion it is a symbol that the people on both sides are the same.
Dallas Winston Six word memoir by: Gabriel Arana
Tough, Mean. Not loving for others
Paragraph: Gabriel Arana I think Dally is very tough and he is rude or mean sometimes therefore this Six Word Memoir represents him very well. Dally basically never loved anyone but when Johnny died we learned he loved Johnny the most and due to Johnny dying, Dally commit suicide by waving and unloaded gun in the air in front of the police. Dally was tough on the outside but inside he was truly was loving caring of his gang. Dally was also the oldest of the greasers therefore he was also the wisest of them and he also had a lot of street knowledge. Dally helped out Johnny and Ponyboy when Johnny killed Bob and they had to move.
Six Word Memoir on Darry by : Michael Amsel Overprotective, cruel. Caretaker for two boys.
Paragraph by : Michael Amsel I think that this six word memoir fits Darry perfectly. To begin, when when the memoir talks about overprotective, it show that Darry is always trying to keep Ponyboy and Soda safe. Furthermore, he is cruel because he always yells at Ponyboy for not using his head and Darry slapped Ponyboy. Moreover, being a caretaker for two boy is not easy when you need to support them as well. Darry has to take care of them, feed them, and also provide them with clothes and what not with not such a well paying job. In addition, the symbol of the shield represents that Darry is very tough and strong. These are some reasons why I think the six word memoir fits Darry.
Six Word Memoir Johnny by Daymara Nieves Kid brother, accidental criminal, damaged hero
Paragraph by Daymara Nieves The six word memoir I wrote represents Johnny Cade. The memoir starts with kid brother because in the entire gang Johnny was basically like everyone’s kid brother who they needed to protect and help out. Everyone in the gang cared about him and tried to be a good friend for him because his friends were all he had. Then it says accidental criminal, Johnny never meant to commit murder he did it out of defense because he needed to save his friend and himself from any harm. Johnny was traumatized when he killed Bob and felt so terrible about it but he knew that they could have died themselves. To end the memoir, I put damaged hero because Johnny knew he had to do the right thing. Johnny had been through so much throughout his young life that damaged him emotionally and physically but he will always be remembered. This memoir represents Johnny Cade.

Thiago Lorenzo Dallas Winston Fought, Couldn’t Take It, Perished!
Thiago Lorenzo My memoir “Fought, Sacrificed, Couldn’t Take It, Perished” is about Dallas Winston, an iconic character in The Outsiders. First, he is a big troublemaker, as he as been to jail many times and has an extensive police record. This is why on my six word memoir I say that he fought. Then, Johnny kills Bob, leaving him and Ponyboy no option but to run off to somewhere that they won’t be found until the fuzz calms down. This is where Dally comes in, he gives them his gun, some clothes and tells them to go to the top of the mountain in Windrixville. If the police finds out he took part in this he will get in lots of trouble too. This is not the only reason why my memoir says sacrificed, but also when he goes to save Johnny when he is stuck in the church. Moving on, Johnny is in the hospital in critical state and Dally is extremely tense. Once he hears about Johnny’s death, it’s like his whole world is over. As a result he robs a grocery store with an unloaded gun, this is suicide. This is why my six word memoir states that he couldn’t take it. Finally, Dallas reaches a parking lot with cops chasing him and points his unloaded gun at them. The cops shot him and he was immediately dead. That is where he perishes. In conclusion, Dallas Winston’s story is “Fought, Sacrificed, Couldn’t Take It, Perished”.

Steve is tall and lean, with thick greasy hair he keeps combed back in complicated swirls (Hinton 9; Ch. 1) he has the typical “greaser� look. It may not seem like it but he is actually smart, although he knows it and is not afraid to show it, this makes him fairly cocky. His speciality is in cars, he knows cars upside down, backwards, and can drive anything on wheels (Hinton 9; Ch 1) this is what makes him smart. But despite his talent his arrogance can also make him dismissive, he acts like he believes he is superior than Ponyboy and he thinks he is just a tag along kid ( Hinton 9; Ch 1). Steve Randle not only likes cars but also fights, he says he when he fights he always wants to stomp the other guy good ( Hinton 133; Ch 9).

Overall, “the kind that people stop to look” represents soda because he is charming and thoughtful, which all most people want.
Kamar- Bob Lenient Parents, Bad Habits, Too Late
Bob paragraph Bob has very lenient parents because they give him no rules. When randy is talking to ponyboy he told him that bob would come home drunk multiple times and his parents would do nothing, he just needed someone to tell him “no”. His bad habits were picking fights with greasers. Also since he would be drunk most of the time you would find an greaser and try to beat him or even kill him. When I say “too late” I mean this for the parents, if the parents had at least grounding him or put him on some kind of punishment once, he may have never died.
