CONFLICT

Imagine one of the Greasers has decided to get two symbolic tattoos on his shoulder/arm. Based

on what you know about the character, and what he has learned from events in the story, what

tattoos would he get? Your choice of tattoos should reflect your understanding of a theme

developed in the story. Draw the symbols (NO WORDS ALLOWED) on his body and explain the reasons the

character would choose them on the lines.
