Star Wars: The Star Wars Trilogy

This book is based from the movies from Star Wars episodes four, five and six. The first one is actually written by George Lucas, the creater of Star Wars. I think the movies might actually be based off the books, because the books are much more detailed than the movies. I liked the sixth one, Return of the Jedi the best. In the book, it made it way more easier to understand. The part on the planet Endor, where they are trying to destroy the shield generator was confusing in the movie. Too many different scenes you had to understand and put together. In the book it all made sense and wasn't confusing at all. I think the movie for the fifth episode was better than the book. In the movie they do a much better job with details than in the book. They show the battles and plot better than in the book. The Empire Strikes Back, was also the shortest story in length. That probably helps to explain the less detail. If you like Star Wars, I think you should try to find the book. It made me see the trilogy in a different way.

The Outsiders

I read a book called "The Outiders". It is written by S.E. Hinton. It was actually a really good book. I thought it was one of those books you have to read in school and they are the most terribly boring thing ever. Then I started reading it and the guys name is ponyboy. It made me laugh a little, what a wierd name. Then I started reading more and it started talking about fights and gangs. That's when I started thinking, " this book might actually be pretty good".
Ponyboy and his brother belong to a ganglike group, called the greasers. They are poor underprivlaged children. They get their hair as greasy as possible and long. They take pride in thier hair. Then there is a rival group called the socs. They are rich and spoiled people. They go around in groups jumping greasers who are alone. The greasers accidently kill one of the socs and it starts a huge war. Ponyboy runs away with another greaser to escape the murder charges. Eventually they go back and Ponyboy joins in the battle. All the other greasers watch out for ponyboy though, because he is younger.
