In Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the main character, Holden, had many opportunities to learn life lessons but every time his faulty thinking caused him to focus on the problem and not the solution. Whenever Holden looks at situations he negatively overgeneralizes them with a bad attitude rather than learning from it.

It is a common experience: a woman dates a man who is rude to everyone except for her. He makes her feel special, but a few months later, he becomes an abusive, controlling boyfriend. Walter Younger from the play “A Raisin In The Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry, while not an abusive person is a milder example of this phenomenon. He is the father in a large African American family, and lives with his mother, sister, wife, and young son. His father has recently died, and his mother, Lena, receives an enormous check from their life insurance. They need this money, as they live in a small house and need to move to a larger one, but Walter wants to invest the money into opening a liquor store instead.

The Coen Brothers’ film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, is loosely based on Homer’s famous Greek epic, The Odyssey, in that certain features in the film resemble those found in Homer’s epic, but the film still reveals its own sense of originality by making it more relatable to the modern world. While The Odyssey is set in Ancient Greece and O Brother, Where Art Thou? is set in the southern part of the United States during the 1930’s, the works are similar in following a protagonist who encounters setbacks on his journey home. Through the heroes’ struggles, both pieces of work reveal similar themes of humility, loyalty, and perseverance. The Coen Brothers’ film’s lack of important epic elements sets it apart from The Odyssey. Class

Imagine moving from Los Angeles, California to a small town in Wisconsin and not knowing anyone at the new school. Anyone in this situation would want to make friends that would accept them in the new town. This is the position Levi, one of the main characters in Elizabeth Eulberg’s Better off Friends, is in when he starts middle school. Macallan, the other main character, is the person that befriends Levi, and they become very close very fast. Being a new kid from down south, many people stereotype Levi because of how he looks and the way he acts, which was normal in Los Angeles where he used to live, but odd to the people in Wisconsin. For this reason the boys at school did not really want to hang out with Levi, and that is why he and Macallan become such good friends in a short amount of time. The two of them could find a lot that they had in common, even though they were from completely different places. Macallan and Levi were together a lot, so when they hung out just the two of them, people would think they were dating when they were not. This is the second stereotype addressed in the book; a boy and a girl that spend lots of time together do not have to be a boyfriend and a girlfriend. Throughout middle school and high school, they were constantly asked if they were dating, when they were not. Therefore, in Better off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg, Eulberg addresses stereotypes about where people come from and people of the opposite gender being just friends.

The prompt I chose for this assignment is to rewrite a chapter from a different character’s point of view. I chose to do this prompt because rewriting chapter four in Johnny’s point of view would give a better description before the events that occur after. This chapter is the start of when Johnny and Pony had run away to the old church. It is also the start of when their worlds are completely changed. This chapter starts things that have many significant meanings throughout the book. It started a chain of events that shaped The Outsiders.

“Stay gold , Ponyboy. Stay gold…” is what Johnny says to remind him that no matter what happens and what struggles he goes through and no matter how rough it gets to always be him.See Ponyboy is a greaser, and a greaser normally has a very rough upbringing. Not only did they have enough struggles just living on the east side but there was another group who was the total opposite, they’re name is the Socials, Socs for short. In my perspective the greasers had it rougher than the Socs, because the Socs would always try and fight with them, and Socs called them names and picked on them. People also underestimate them and think that they would never get anywhere in life. he Socs had it rougher because people expected them to be perfect and to be a certain way, and because they are Socs people automatically have favoritism and don’t really care what they do. “... They gave in to him all the time. He kept trying to make someone say ‘No’ and they never did.

“Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives.” By B.R. Ambedkar who is a jurist, economist, and a Politician. People do many things to fit in with the cool friend group and in society. Why do people treat each other the way people do, why do people most of the time have more than one identity, and why do people want to change their identities.

Could you imagine living in a place that was always divided, and the blame for problems always being thrown around everywhere? The Outsiders, a novel by S. E. Hinton is the story of two groups of people: The Socs, which is short for Socials, and the Greasers. In the story both of the groups are surrounded in conflict between each other and soon leads to many bad decisions made by the groups. The character who is telling the story is a Greaser named Ponyboy whose life is very challenging as he goes through the rivalry between his gang and the Socs. Both groups face life and death situations as they encounter many battles between each other, while one or the other always end up on the top. In the novel, The Outsiders, the Socials are the cause for all the brawls and hostile attitude between each other.
