My name is Calpurnia. The past night I have had a most terrible nightmare. This nightmare concerns the well being of my husband Julius Caeser. The nightmares however are new. For weeks now I have suffered many sleepless nights. These nightmares I feel are giving me signs and symbols warning me of Caesers future. Today I am extremely worried. In my dream, I walk with Caeser down the streets of Rome, nothing different from a usual trip. Although this time part way through we were joined by Brutus. Brutus does not act normally in this nightmare. He calls upon a hooded man across the street and signals him to join our walk. As the man unveils his face it reveals the most vile of faces. A beard of a true villain, long, unkept. A faint colour of white shows in his long grey beard, this clearly shows his age. This man could not be mortal. Brutus commands this fiend to start some sort of ritual. Quickly Caeser calls upon Marc Antony to slay the demon in the midst of his magic. Marc Antony arrives and drives his sword through the gut of the fiend and leaves it there. The demon mearly laughs and casts a spell upon Antony turning him slowly into a zombie. As all of this happens, me and Caeser do not notice that the landscape has changed; we are no longer in Rome. Quickly Brutus calls upon Cassius, Casca, Metullus Cimber, Trebonius, Publius, Poplius, Cinna, and Decius Brutus. The group surrounds Caeser as they all turn to zombies and slowly approach him. Within an instant, Caeser is dead. His flesh rotting, torn apart, slashed and maimed beyond death. Caeser is dead. The conspiracy then moves to tell the rest of Rome, and Rome, does not agree with this decision of murder. The conspiracy replies in attacking Rome, causing a post zombie apocalypse and putting Rome into a state of death, hell and all destruction.
Calpurnia : Help, ho! They murder Caeser!
What mean you Caeser? Think you walk forth?
You shall not stir out of your house today.

Diary of a commoner
My name is Leroy Jenkins. Today, I attended the Feast of the Lupercal. Something special happened today. Caeser was offered the crown of Rome by none other than Marc Antony. I think this is a great decision for I am very passionate of Caeser. I was very excited to hear of his conquest over Pompay and his return to Rome. Caeser is a great ruler and deserves the crown and deserves to rule us all. I for one am very loyal to Caeser and I would give my life for him, for I am but a simple guard. Standing my post day in, and day out, doing my duty. As I do my duty, Caeser should do his. That, is to rule this amazing place we call Rome. Despite this, Caeser reacted quite strangely upon being offered the throne. He denied the crown. This would normally be a problem had he not been offered the crown once more by Antony. After this, he denied the crown once more, but, this time he seemed more regretful in denying the crown. A third time he was offered the crown, yet Caeser still denied it. This final time he looked quite unsure in his decision. I think I see into Caesers thoughts. He could possibly be denying the crown because he does not want to be hated by the people. By the community. So for this reason, he may have denied the throne hoping that he can keep the respect of his people. Then after the final offering of the crown, Caeser could not handle the reaction of the crowd and ended up foaming at the mouth, and falling to the ground having a seizure. This seemed quite strange to me. Not just the foaming at the mouth, everything. If Caeser accepted the crown, I would have no issue with this. Why should anyone have an issue with this? I love Caeser and I am loyal to him crown or no crown. I just hope no one else takes this to seriously and betrays Caeser. He is a good man. But I do hear there are conspirators out there... But what could they possibly do? Kill him? I`d like to see them try. Not on my watch at least.
That`s all for now, yours truly,
Leroy Jenkins.

Susan Elouise Hinton was 15 when she started writing " The Outsiders." S.E. Hinton has wrote 9 other books. Some examples are "Rumble Fish", "Hawks Harbour", and "Tex". In total she has wrote 9 books.
The basic plot of this book is about the separating of 2 groups of people known as "greasers" and "socs". The main characters of the story are Ponyboy, Soda-pop, Darry, and Johnny. They are all greasers that live in the old and more unfortunate part of town. The socs are the more lucky ones driving nice cars and living in the better part of town. The socs and the greasers get in fights all the time, so you can more or less label them as gangs; altough, the greasers are really only trying to find their place in the world while the socs just cause trouble. The conflict of this story occurs when Johnny and Ponyboy are at a local park when they are jumped by a few socs. The socs begin to drown Ponyboy in a nearby fountain wich leaves Johnny to stab the soc Bob. This results in Ponyboy and Johnny running away from their city and becoming fugitives.
The location of this story is set in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the mid 1960`s.This town has a huge social and economic separation, therefore creating the 2 different groups. The story takes place in fall, most likely mid October/November. The atmosphere of the story is very dramatic, at times sad, and also humorous. The dramatic and sad feelings come into effect with the various deaths and other life changing issues dealt with throughout the story.
The main character in this story is Ponyboy because the story is about his life and what happens in his life. One trait of his personality would be his love and appreciation of life. Ponyboy somewhat relates to the boy from the story " On the sidewalk bleeding", Andy. He just wants to be a normal kid and live his life without the separation and labeling in his city. Some examples of this is when he be-friends the soc, Cherry; Another, is his love of watching sunsets. A second trait would be his hatred of the socs. An example of this trait is that he participates in a brawl between the greasers and the socs.
The outsiders was a very good book to read. I enjoyed the dramatic effects in it and the development of Ponyboy and how he deals with the conflict of the story. This is by far my favorite book I have read.
