4. Review Chapter 2 with class.
At the theatre, Dally sits behind two girls and talks dirty loudly until one of them tells her to leave them alone. Dally walks away, and when Pony promises the girl he won't act like his friend,  She tells him her name is Sherri Valance, but people call her Cherry. Dally comes back with Cokes, but when he tries to put his arm around Cherry, she throws hers in his face. Suddenly Johnny tells Dally to leave Cherry alone. Ponyboy is shocked. Johnny is everybody's pet, though, and Dally can't hit him. He just walks off angrily. The girls invite Johnny and Pony to sit with them, telling them they can tell they are much nicer than Dally. Just then Two-Bit comes up behind them. Two-Bit explains that Dally will probably get beaten up by Tim Shepard's gang, because he slashed the tires of one of their cars.  Cherry and Pony go to buy popcorn, and Cherry says she can tell something bad happened to Johnny, and asks what it was.  Ponyboy tells her the story. One day he was walking with Steve and Soda when they found Johnny lying on the ground, beaten badly. Johnny slowly recovered enough to tell them that a group of Socs had pulled up in a car and all beaten him at once. Now, Johnny is so afraid that he carries a switchblade, and Pony knows Johnny would rather die or kill someone than be beaten like that again. Cherry and Pony go back to the movie, and they all watch it together.

4. Hand out Chapter 3 Questions - till end of class to read Ch 3 and answer questions 1 through 11.

Due for homework Tuesday if not complete in class.
