d. Let’s say you were a member of the “Outsiders.” How would you want the newspaper to write about your high school story. Write one paragraph that you would add to the newspaper article. In that paragraph, show what you hope your high school experience will be like until the day of graduation.

SCHOOL IS FUN AND WE TRY TO LEARN. SOME TEACHERS. SOME TEACHERS CARE AND SOME DONT CARE AT ALL. IT IS UP 2 US IF WE WANNA LEARN OR NOT 2.
