Dear Darry,
Darry I want you to know something and it is very important. The reason I ran away was not all because of you. Well it started that way but it did not end up with me running away because you hitting me. The other reason I ran away was because Johnny and I got in to a lot of trouble with the Socs at the park. Long story short Johnny ended up killing Bob because he was drowning me in the water fountain. After this happened we thought we got to get out of here fast. So before we fled the area we went by Dally’s to get some money and a plan. He gave Johnny and I some money, he gave me a jacket so I wouldn’t get as cold at night. And then he told Johnny to stay at an abandon church. If you were wondering how we got to the church well we got on a train by jumping on and off the train. After we got off the train we found the church and in the morning Johnny went out to get food. We then stayed in the house for the next few days and nights until Dally got here. To pass the time at the church alone Johnny bought a book called Gone With the Wind that I would read to Johnny very day. Finally when Dally got here he told us that he had someone special to meet us. But it came to be that Johnny and I already knew her it was Cherry. We argued about why Dally brought her at lunch. Then Johnny couldn’t stand not seeing the gang for this long period of time. So Johnny deiced that he would turn himself in. Dally was not very happy to hear that, while we were on our way back home there was no talking until we saw that the church was on fire. Johnny and I got out of the car and ran towards the church. All I was thinking was that the fire was because off me dropping a cigarette and it caught fire. Then I heard that there were some kids in the burning church so I ran in. When I about to go in I heard a man say no I will do it this is too dangerous for you. But I did not listen I went in through the window and Johnny came in after me. We got all the kids out and I Johnny told me to get out so I did and then the church fell right on Johnny. Dally went into get him and that is all I remember. When I woke up I was in the hospital and shortly after I woke up you and Sodapop were there.
Love,
Ponyboy
I like how this is helpful and you get a better understanding to derry and how YOU feel towards him.
ReplyDeleteI liked your details, and i liked how you wrote a letter and actually made it seem realistic between the two people. Plus your authors note is explanatory, and i knew what you were writing about right away.
