What major assignment does his English teacher give Ponyboy to try to help him pass?
opinion: write a theme or somethin?
Ponyboy's English teacher approaches him and tells him he's failing class, but if he can write a good semester theme, he will get a C, "taking into consideration the circumstances." The English teacher says the theme should be on "anything you think is important enough to write about."
"Yessir," I said, I'll try. What's the theme supposed to be on?"
"Anything you think is important enough to write about. And it isn't a reference theme; I want your own ideas and your own experiences."
