Introduction:
Bella: And welcome back to Jam FM, I’m Bella and
that was Grease Lightning. To my right I have two very special guest Ponyboy
Curtis and Cherry Valance from the book ‘The Outsiders’. Hi they’re Ponyboy how
are you doing today? I’m going to ask you a few questions if that’s all right
with you?
Ponyboy: I am fine thanks
Ponyboy’s questions:
1.
How did you feel after writing
your English essay ‘The Outsiders’?
Ana: I felt very accomplished knowing that I had
written a whole book in just one night. I wanted people to know what it was
like to live as a Greaser and what we went through.
2.
What gave you inspiration to
write the story?
Ana: I think the inspiration came solely from
everything that had happened to us in the past. The live of a Greaser sure is
an adventurous one.
3.
How are you doing after what
happened to Johnny?
Ana: I took it really roughly at the time but in a
way I sorta expected that to happen. I was just trying to convince myself he
was still here.
4.
Do you miss Dallas in any way?
Ana: Of course I do. He was and still is one of us.
We stick up for each other and we are a family. Dallas sure is missed.
5.
What was going through your head
when you saw Bob lying dead next to you?
Ana: Well to be honest I was just really happy that
I was still alive. Then when I realized that Johnny had killed Bob I started
freaking out, thinking about us getting caught. I thought about us going to
jail.
6.
What made you decide on going
into that burning church to save those kids?
Ana: Hearing the sounds of those kids made me realize
that I had to be brave and help them. I also knew I was going to get caught for
the killing of Bob so I thought I might as well do something good that could
reduce my time in jail.
7.
How where you doing in the
hospital?
Ana: I was really nervous about the news I would
get from the doctors about Johnny state. I knew Dallas would be ok because he
is tuff and he didn’t sustain serious injuries. It was Johnny I was really
worried about.
8.
How did you feel when you feel
when finally seeing your brothers after the whole situation?
Ana: I was happy that I could see them again, and I
was relieved that they were ok.
9.
Were you excited to be in that
rumble? What did you think about it?
Ana: Well I couldn't really say I was excited, I
was more just happy I could mean something for the group, to help them fight of
those Socs.
10.
When you woke up from being
knocked out in the rumble, what was going through your mind?
Ana: At first I was really confused because I
forgot what happened and then Darry told me that I was kicked on the head too
much causing me to faint. Then after I realized that we had won the fight, so I
was really happy along with the rest of the group.
Bella: Well thank you Ponyboy. Now moving on to
Cherry, How are you today?
Cherry: Good thank you.
Cherry’s questions:
1.
How do you feel after reading
Ponyboys story?
Meg: It made me feel sad because after I read the
story from the past it made me remember my boyfriend Bob.
2.
How do you think Ponyboy feels
after going through what happened?
Meg: In my opinion I think Ponyboy was going
through a hard time and still is. I can see how Ponyboy is really upset about
losing his best friend and all.
3.
What was it like meeting Ponyboy
for the very first time?
Meg: It was all good, he was very nice to me and he
is different to other boys I have met in my life.
4.
What was going through your mind
when you saw ‘The blue mustang’ while walking with the greasers as they took
you home?
Meg: I was feeling really sacred because I thought
they were going to attack Ponyboy, Johnny and Dally. As they took me home I was
wondering about Johnny and the others if they were Ok.
5.
How did you feel when you heard
that Bob was dead?
Meg: I am very upset that Bob is dead and he was my
boyfriend.
6.
Did you instantly blame Johnny
and Ponyboy for his death?
Meg: No because Bob has been drunk and that the
boys had been looking for a fight when they took me home, but Johnny shouldn't
of killed Bob. He could have just stabbed him in the leg or arm instead of his
heart.
7.
When you saw Ponyboy and Johnny
in the newspaper and how they saved those kids, what where your thoughts?
Meg: I was happy for them because they saved those
kids in the church from the fair. It was good because it helped them from
getting in a lot of trouble.
8.
How did you feel about the rumble
and how Randy decided not to be involved?
Meg: I didn't really mind it because I don't like
fights and i don't want anybody to get hurt. So I thought it was ok that Randy
did not want to fight, I think he was kind of sick and tired of fighting all
the time. I thought it was a smart idea.
9.
Seeing Ponyboy before the rumble,
what did you want to say to him?
Meg: Seeing Ponyboy before the rumble mad me feel nervous
and scared because I didn't want them to fight anymore. I said to Ponyboy “ you
know Randy’s not going to show up at the rumble, he’s not scared, he’s sick of
fighting”.
10.
What is your intake of the whole
situation?
Meg: I think that the Socs and the Greasers were
childish because they are fighting over nothing. Why can't everyone just be
friends and stop fighting??
Ending:
Bella: well that’s all for today, thank you very
much Cherry. It was a pleasure having you both here today and I hope to see you
again. Next up we have The Beatles new breaking single ‘Get Back’, I'm Bella
and you're listening to Jam FM.
