The Outsiders News Article
Entry:
Greasers Become Heroes
Introduction:
This assignment was on January 10, 2013. The purpose of this assignment was to change one event in the book <The Outsiders> into a news article.
Reflection:
I think the assigment wasn't easy because although we have read the novel and watched the movie, change an event in the novel into a news wasn't easy. We have to find as many details as we can in order to write the news. And sometimes we can't find everything we need, then we have to make things up on our own.
I think those pictures I found that accompanied the article were good because it related to the article very well. However, if I had to do this again, I would pay more attention on the language I used, and maybe described the event more clearly. From this assignment I learnt that writing news is a lot different from writing a novel. Novel is more about the plots. But news is more about being direct and clear.

Greasers Become Heroes
On Dec.20th, a big fire was happening in a church in Oklahoma. The fire burned the church down. One person was dead and another one was injured.

Last night, which was Dec. 20th, an abandon church burned down in Windrixville, Oklahoma. One person is slight injury, and two people are bad injury. When the fire was taking place, several children were standing the church and couldn’t get out by themselves. Since the church has been abandoned for years and there is no fire precaution measure so the fire spread very quickly in a short time.

Last night, which was Dec. 20th, an abandon church burned down in Windrixville, Oklahoma. One person is slight injury, and two people are bad injury. When the fire was taking place, several children were standing the church and couldn’t get out by themselves. Since the church has been abandoned for years and there is no fire precaution measure so the fire spread very quickly in a short time.
When the journalist arrived the burning church, one of the teachers told the journalist that, “ We were having a school picnic up here and the first thing we knew, the place is burning up.” Some of the children were missing. Another teacher almost freaked out. She went white, “I told them not to play in the church…I told them…” She looked like she was going to start screaming.
While the church was on fire, three boys came from nowhere rushed into the church and started saving the children that were being trapped inside the church. Those kids were all crying and shouting since they have been trapped in the church for a while. The temperature inside the church was getting higher and higher, and the smoke was getting stronger and stronger as well. The three brave boys carried the children out of the church one by one. They saved those children but sacrificed themselves. After they helped all the children get out, the church fell apart.

Ponyboy Curtis, 14 years old, who loses his parents and lives with two brothers now. He is slight injury. Dallas Winston, 17 years old, who lived on the streets of New York City for three years. He is bad injury and he’s at the hospital now. Johnny Cade, 16 years old, who has an alcoholic and abusive mother and father. His situation is way worse than the other two boys. He is suffering with third-degree burns now and he is not being able to walk again ever after. His doctor told the journalist, “Johnny is in a very dangerous situation. His chance of survival is very small. He may die. However, we are doing our best to keep him alive.” What they did for those children was very brave. They aren’t boys anymore instead they become heroes now.
From the interview with Ponyboy and Dallas, they claimed that they are all greasers from a gang. Three of them are like brothers. Johnny told Ponyboy and Dallas that, “I don’t mind dying now. It’s worth it. It’s worth saving those kids. Their lives are worth more than mine, they have more to live”
