OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay lol So were there any other instructions? Or just "write a paragraph"

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

just write a summary :P wish there were more insturctions -.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay so basically a summary is a quick way to write it. So someone can scan it and get a basic idea of the (in this case) chapter. So like I said, we only need 3-5 sentences. A good start is to give the setting, the characters and a basic idea of what they are doing.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

well I do have this: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/outsiders/section1.rhtml :D I could go on and on about the characters and what there doing XD and the setting keeps changing -.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are in (whatever city/state) fighting the odds and trying to survive. Ponyboy's brother is extremely protective and the other one is (whatever he is). The chapter ends with ponyboy reading and thinking about his brothers girlfriend.

unknownnnnnn: Static at 2 A.M. My mind doesnu2019t knock. It rearranges the furniture at 2 a.m., asks me to notice every creak. I lie still like that might help, like silence is a language my thoughts forgot. They line up with receipts, proof of moments I replayed too many times to pretend they were accidents. Iu2019m fluent in overthinking itu2019s the only subject I never skipped. I can turn one sentence into a courtroom drama, cross-examine my tone, convict myself without witnesses. People call me u201cstrongu201d because I donu2019t spill. They donu2019t see the cup shaking in my hands, how much effort it takes to keep the surface calm. Confidence comes in phases. Some days it fits like skin. Some days itu2019s a costume I forget Iu2019m wearing until it starts to pinch. I laugh on cue. I answer u201cfineu201d with convincing timing. Iu2019ve learned where to pause, how long eye contact should last, how not to sound like a question when Iu2019m one. The past isnu2019t loud. It doesnu2019t need to be. It just clears its throat at the wrong moments, reminds me what I already survived and what might try again. But hereu2019s the part I donu2019t downplay I stay. Even when my thoughts argue in circles, even when doubt files appeals. I choose presence over perfection. Breath over escape. I donu2019t win every round, but I donu2019t forfeit myself either. I am not the static. I am the one listening, deciding what deserves a response and what can fade without taking my name with it.
