After a while of gruesome writing I had finished my essay, The Outsiders. I had Soda and Darry read it and they both thoroughly enjoyed it. Soda said that it captured the essence of each moment perfectly and Darry said that it made him relive the experience. (Even though that might not be the best thing) It 's been almost 2 weeks since the death of Johnny and Dally. We had their funeral down by the church at Windrixville because I knew Johnny would have liked that. The day was quite sorrow and I didn’t eat much, but, as time went on I was feeling better. I started to accept that I couldn’t see Johnny and Dally everyday and they were in a better place now. Two- Bit and Steve came by a lot more often now to give us some company and something to do.
