Chap. 5 and Questions
Hello 8th Graders,
Yesterday, we read Chapter 5 and answered the following questions.
- Why are the boys so upset about cutting their hair?
- Why is Pony happy to have run away with Johnny instead of another Greaser?
- Why does Johnny see Dally as being gallant?
- What do Pony and Johnny notice about them and the rest of the gang? What examples do they give? What other examples can we think of that we have seen in other parts of the novel?
- Why is Dally carrying a gun if it isn’t loaded?
- Who’s the spy for the greasers? Does this surprise you? Why or why not?
We also completed a handout which can be given in class for any absent student.
