the outsiders

Really don't have much to blog about recently. I think I forgot to state that I'll be teaching in Chung Cheng High School Main. Secondary 3 english and Secondary 2 English Literature.

The book I've been given is 'The Outsiders', some book about a bunch of youths living in 60s or 70s America trying to cope with social discrimination, family violence, fights, deaths and how they bond together in times of adversity.

The story is being told through the eyes of a 14 year old boy and how his views of life change as things around him affect him one way or another. I've read about 5 chapters of the book and it's really getting interesting although I've read the overview of the story online before I started. Probably read more before I go to sleep later.

I'm also looking for its movie version as it's a print to screen. But it's kinda an old movie so I haven't really being able to find it.

Oh ok, logging off. Hopefully when I start work I'll have more interesting things to blog about.
