We continued reading and discussing the developments in the plot, and the dynamics between the characters, Ponyboy and Johnny Cade - the narrator and one of the 7 main characters in 'The Outsiders,' respectively.' We continue to discuss slang words from 1960 that S.E. Hinton uses in the novel and Cam effectively used contextual clues well to figure out unfamiliar terms. We discussed why we are now in the Middle of plot development, the point also known as the Rising Action which includes events that lead up to the climax. We identified the specific events that have arisen to complicate the problem and discussed how the characters are dealing with their stressful situation. Cam ventured a prediction about what might happen as the plot continues to unfold.
