Today we read the first part of chapter 7 of The Outsiders. We discussed the novel thus far. We also began class by looking at the simile/metaphor sheet that we did last day. Kade Hanson impressed the class by creating an original metaphor for youth: Kade said that youth was like a burning fire -- after a while the fire burns down to hot coals and eventually burns itself out (this process of the fire burning out represents aging).
Well done Kade.
