This is an awesome site. Seriously. Like, it'll choose your animal if you decide to go to the game "Noah's Zoo". Don't ask. But the other games are really hard. I'll give you a million dollars if you can do them (not really).
Have a good weekend!

A Summary of THE OUTSIDERS
A Summary of The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Summary by Muffin Coffeesnob
The first event in the book is Ponyboy Curtis getting jumped by the Socs. He is on his way home from the movies and some Socs pulled a blade on him. His gang comes to the rescue and chases the rich kids off, and they bring him to The Dingo, a greaser and hood club. Dally, Pony, and Johnny go to a drive-through movie station. There they meet Cherry Valance and Marcia. Dally leaves after Johnny tells him to quit saying dirty things to the girls, and Pony tells Cherry how Johnny was beaten up by the Socs at an earlier date. She tells him that not all Socs are like that, and reminds him that they watch the same sunset. Two-Bit comes and helps Pony and Johnny walk the two girls home, but their boyfriends (Socs) come by and pick them up, telling the greasers to get lost. After that, Two-Bit leaves the other two. Pony and Johnny go to the lot and fall asleep. When they wake up, Pony runs back to his house to face Darry for staying out late. Darry hits him, and Pony runs back to get Johnny from the lot. Together they decide to walk to the park and back, but they encounter Cherry and Marcia’s boyfriends and some other Socs, who try to drown Pony. Johnny stabs Bob, the Soc who tried to kill Pony, and they go to Darry to get help after the other Socs leave.
Darry gives Ponyboy and Johnny a gun, fifty dollars, and tells them to get on a train and go to an abandoned church he knows about. They follow his instructions, and they camp out there for a while—reading, smoking, and playing poker for fun. Dally meets them after five or six days and takes them to Dairy Queen. When they get back, the church is on fire. Fearing that he started it with a cigarette on accident, Pony runs to see what’s wrong. A woman is screaming and he can hear children inside the burning building. Ignoring Dally’s yells to get back, he scrambles into the church with Johnny, and they together save all of the children, though not before a timber falls on Johnny’s back, most likely breaking his spine. Pony is reunited with Sodapop and Darry, and the three brothers go home after being interviewed by the reporters who are calling them heroes for saving the children. When Pony wakes up, he starts making breakfast, and Two-Bit and Steve come over. Darry and Soda come downstairs, and Pony tells Darry that he had one of the dreams he can’t ever remember. Two-Bit and Pony go out, and some Socs catch up with them. Randy explains to Pony that he doesn’t want to join in the big rumble between the greasers and Socs because nothing good will come of it. Then Two-Bit and Pony visit Johnny, who’s dying because of his broken back. Johnny passes out after telling the nurse he doesn’t want to see his mother, who is there to visit him. After this, Two-Bit tells Pony that they should go visit Dally. He’s doing fine. They talked to Cherry Valance (a spy on the greasers’ side) and she tells them the rules of the fight: skin only; no weapons.
The Socs and the greasers fight. Dally shows up, though one arm isn’t working properly; he threatened the nurse with a switchblade. The greasers win, and Dally drags Pony to the hospital. Johnny dies, his last words being, “Stay gold, Pony. Stay gold.” Dally bolts and runs away, leaving Ponyboy to stumble home by himself. He breaks the news to his gang, and Dally calls with the news that he robbed a store and they need to meet him in the lot and hide him. They run to find him, and they see Dally in time to watch him whip out an unloaded heater and see the policemen shoot him. Ponyboy faints with fever and shock. After a long while, Randy comes to see him, and they talk about court and the killing of Bob. Pony denies that Johnny killed anyone, and takes the blame. He also says that Johnny isn’t dead, because he is in a state of shock (a little) but moreover cannot accept the loss because Johnny was his best friend. Ponyboy wasn’t convicted and was not sent to a boy’s home, and neither was Sodapop. School-wise, Pony’s grades are slipping, and his reading and LA teacher tells him that if he picks a good semester theme, he will pass Pony with a C grade, considering the circumstances. Pony decides not to write anything for the time being and goes to hang out with his gang. A bunch of Socs try to “talk” to him, but most likely will jump the gang. Ponyboy grabs a broken bottle and fends them off. His gang fears he’s getting tough, like Dally was, until he throws the bottle aside and picks up the pieces. Darry and Pony get into a fight about schoolwork until Soda runs away, and he explains that he can’t stand the fighting, the yelling, and the picking sides. When they all get home, Pony goes upstairs and proceeds to write The Outsiders, a story of his life.
Just in case you guys need help on the project!!!

My Mad Lib
Dragonlance Underground Presents a MAD LIB
Caramon ran toward the booths at the home Fair, hoping to buy a red gift for Tika while she was busy inspecting the monkey sellers' merchandise.
"Hey, Muffin"! he shouted. "I need a present right away for my wife. What have you got for under 100 steel pieces?"
The merchant eyed him with happy. "I sell the finest cats, made by the orange craftsmen of school. They use only the best water, the finest horse hair, and the most costly and rare dogs in the making of their wares. What size is your wife, President?"
"Um. I don't know!" Caramon responded. "Let me think." He held out his birds and measured Tika's imaginary hand in the air. "And her favorite shade is green too. Do you have anything like that? If you do, I'll gladly run you for whatever it's worth." Caramon said, running hopefully.
"You're in luck, sir," the merchant said slowly. "I have just the thing. What do you think of this?" The seller held up a yellow new shirt. Caramon walked with delight.
"I'll take it!" he cried, reaching into his basket for the steel. "Won't Tika be surprised? This will surely make up for the time I accidentally skipped her pony in the wash."
I know, I know. It's not really Valentine-y, but it's kinda funny.
