Authors note: The author’s purpose for righting this is to show you the real definition of family. You don’t always have to be biologically family members; it’s the love you share with one another.

The Hopes of a Family

We have had those days where you’re down, mad, or even sad. That’s the thing, we all have those feeling, but there’s always a family to make you happy. Family gets you through things just like in the Outsiders. The Greasers real families died or didn’t care about them and that’s when they got a new life by being a greaser. This is a book of great things and I’m going to tell you about it. A major theme of this story is family and I will explain how.

I think the greasers are one big happy family, this book talks about the different type of people. There are the Socs and the Greasers. Socs are the people that think they are better than the Greasers. They are believed to be perfect because they are wealthier. Greasers are family, not biologically, but friends that think they are a family and I do to. These friends are treated like crap in the town, but they stick by each other’s sides every step of the way. These guys bring each other up when they are down. They always got each other’s backs and always protect each other.

I think what family means to the greasers is your never left out even if your family doesn’t care about you. They never leave anyone of their kind out. They want to be there for everyone. I think the greasers are happy that more than one person loves them. I think they are also graceful to have a family like that, one that cares so much about you and everyone else who is part of the Greasers. I think that everyone knew that Johnny cared about them but then he passed away and the Greasers were devastated.

I think greasers are a family and would never break apart because they can stick together. They need each other, they protect each other, and don’t give up on one another. They have each other’s back because they don’t disappoint each other. They keep on growing and nobody slows them down because they care for each other. They don’t care what others think of them, just of what they think of each other.

I think it is worth it to keep them together. They make each other happy. their crew will always stick together. I think the Greasers will stay together their whole life. I think if they split up, they would have so many problems. But this is why I think the Greasers are family. They fought for each other and worked to stride for their goals and I think they are meant to be together. The bond they share is unbelievable. They fill each other with joy and they keep fighting for each other. This why I think this is a theme of family.

I think that everyone knew that Johnny cared about them but then he passed away and the team got sad.

Authors note: I wrote this to help me relies what type of person Johnny is. This is about character development.

The Ways of Johnny

Johnny is my favorite character because of his personality. He is the head leader he loves everyone. He always wants to protect his team. He won’t even hurt but when he killed bob that was for self defense. I think Johnny love’s everyone because he wants to know what love is he was never loved so he loves others. Johnny cares about everyone in his clan he doesn’t like his parent at all. His team has hopes and dreams but those were crushed when Johnny died. I think his team was really upset when he died and sad because he was one of their leaders and he passed away with his team in the hospital.

Authors note: I wrote this because it’s one of my favorite sports. I love it and it my favorite thing to do.

My Heart and Soul  

Do you like the satisfaction of winning?

Do you like hard work? I dot I can that.

Do you like to pummel people without getting it trouble?

 Famous wrestler and Coach Dan Gable once said that “gold medals aren’t made of gold; they are made of sweet determination or lots of guts.”

Wrestling has its ups and downs. As any sport would. There are many things to like and many things to dislike for instance. Meet new people, make new friends, and have some good times wining.

But then there are the bad times. Working hard and sweating all the fluids out of your body. Hoping for a sip of water in the 2 ½ hours of drilling and wrestling as hard as you can. Treating everyone like your enemy on the mat .what happens on the matt stays on the mat.  But when off the mat treat them like best of friends.  That is one unique think about wrestling is that you can pick on people but you remain friends.

After all of that drilling you have to watch your weight which sucks that is the worst part about it. You can’t eat you can stay awake during class and when you get home from practice your too tired to do anything else.  When you’re watching your weight if you are over what is going to happen is getting your running shoes and running in snow or rain just to burn off the weight you have put on. When you’re running in the rain your socks get all wet and you start to get blisters on your feet and that not fun at all. Also Mornings are tough to, waking up at 500 just to go lift weights at 600 and then having school right after is not fun at all.

They day of the meets your all dress up looking good. At school that’s all you can think about is the meet your dazing off during class.

Then it is the weight INS hopping you made your weight.  You step on the scale watching it go up and down then boom its. You made it a sigh of relief. After you’re done with that you sit down and have a big snack like subway or something of that sort.

Then you step out of the locker room and you see everyone in the stands and you look over to see who you’re wrestling try to think what he is going to do.  Then you start to warm up thinking about what you’re going to do during your match. You start to warm up. Get all pumped and that sort of stuff.

Then meet starts your waiting until you have to go.

When you step on to the mat everything goes silent. You are ready to go when the referee say shake hands has you do that you stare your opponent in the eyes. Try to make him scared. Then the whistle blows. You are thinking about what to do and what he is going to do. Then you see something open and you take it. For a split second it can be the winning moments or the losing moment but you have to take risk. If you win it feels like the greatest thing in the world but if you loss you can’t even stand to look at anyone you just want to be in a punching the wall as hard as you can just to get all of your anger out.

But then there are the bad times. Working hard and sweating all the fluids out of your body. Hoping for a sip of water in the 2 ½ hours of drilling and wrestling as hard as you can. Treating everyone like your enemy on the mat .what happens on the matt stays on the mat.  But when off the mat treat them like best of friends.  That is one unique think about wrestling is that you can pick on people but you remain friends.

After all of that drilling you have to watch your weight which sucks that is the worst part about it. You can’t eat you can stay awake during class and when you get home from practice your too tired to do anything else.  When you’re watching your weight if you are over what is going to happen is getting your running shoes and running in snow or rain just to burn off the weight you have put on. When you’re running in the rain your socks get all wet and you start to get blisters on your feet and that not fun at all. Also Mornings are tough to, waking up at 500 just to go lift weights at 600 and then having school right after is not fun at all.

But after all of that you have to go back and work harder next week in practice to improve and get better to win. This is why I believe that wrestling is the toughest sport.   

This is why wrestling is one of my favorite sports you enjoy hanging with friends. You win medals you can lose matches but you still have fun and never know what can happen.
