Shabanu Anticipation Guide

1. It is possible to experience love at first sight.
2. Two complete strangers stuck on a deserted island could learn to love one another (and yes, stay with one another after being rescued).
3. It is a good thing to sacrifice your happiness for the desires of others.
4. Women in your society are free citizens.

1 . Disagree
I disagree because you can’t just see a person and then just suddenly fell in love with him, or she. I believe you have to first meet him… become good friends and then you might see him something more than friend! Love at first sight doesn’t happen that often. Yes… you will see a person and say you like him/her, but not fell in love with that particular person; first you have to get to know them!

2 . Agree
I agree because being on a island with a person, just you two you will have to talk to him… try to survive with that person… and when on of them is in danger the other one tries to help him! So I believe that being stuck on an island with a person, even if his a stranger to you, he might become something more! And I’m sure they will stay together after being rescued and still love each other.

3 . Agree & Disagree
Here I would agree, but also disagree! I would agree because its good to sacrifies your happiness for the desires of others because if their asking for happieness, that means they need it and we should even sacrifie our happiness for someone. Now, I would also disagree, because maybe… on the other side sacrifie your happiness for the desires of others maybe is just a waste of time, and just giving away our happiness for someone that might not even need it!

4 . Agree
I would agree here because womans are free in our society! Often wemen are free to do their responsibility! Each woman has a job in this society and I believe their free citizens… free to do it! And also their free citizens because wemen usually shop and go out for walks or for coffees and im sure their free to do these stuff. Especially weman are free in my society because wemen want more to go out and hang out with their friends! So, yes… woman in my society is a free citizen.

The Outsiders: Comparing and Contrasting


I believe that both, the movie and the book were great but I suggest that the book was better!
The book had more action in the book! When I started the book I was thinking of how much detail there was for each character and we understand more in the book the character of each person that’s in it! Each chapter of the book makes you understand more and more about the story! Each sentence of action, the book says it more vivid!

There are differences between the book and the movie. For example the action and the imagery that the book provided are not like the images the movie provided, for example the book might have told us that the rumble scene was kind of funny everybody was fighting and they were smoking the same time as they were punching the Socs. The movie showed us people fighting and Ponyboy getting heat, and that was it! That’s why I can say that the book made me understand The Outsiders rather than the movie. Like I said the movie changed some stuff that it SHOULDN’T change!

I believe the director had to do the movie like the book, exactly like the book! If I had to see first the movie I wouldn’t understand anything, but reading first the book it makes it more clear to me! The way the book describes the fight, makes it like, “WOW”, amazing scene and interesting but when I saw that scene in the movie I thought that its way different than the book and the director did really bad when he thought of changing that wonderful scene!

I believe that the story of The Outsiders was an amazing story and I just love it! If I was the director of the movie I would have change some stuff but it’s still good! Just, the book says it in more detail.
I would like the story to end with Johnnie and Dallas. I didn’t like them die because they’re the main characters and I don’t like sad endings, I really don’t! I expected something happy to happen at the end! If I could, I would have change the ending, and let Johnnie and Dallas enjoy their victory with their friends, all together!!!!
