Analysis Of The Movie 'The Outsiders'

The theme of The Outsiders is that everyone can rise above what others expect from them. This is relevant throughout the book when Johnny and Ponyboy save the kids from the burning church, when Randy doesn't want to fight or hate the Greasers anymore, and when Johnny stands up for Cherry and Marcia.

An ‘outsider’ relates to a person who is ostracised, who does not belong to a particular group and is unaccepted. Director-writer Amy Heckerling portrayed several characters such as Tai and Cher as the outsider in her film in the same way S.E Hinton manifest Ponyboy Curtis and the gang, Greasers as the outcast of her novel ‘The Outsiders’. The Outsiders is a successful exploration and understanding of people who are unlike

The Outsiders, made in 1983, is based on the original book made in 1967, The Outsiders. The movie copied the same plot of the book heavily, as it still portrays the same main character, Ponyboy Curtis (played by Thomas C. Howell), a fourteen year old boy living with his two brothers. This one and a half hour film shows Ponyboy’s life as a greaser, as he experiences the positive and negative sides of his family life style, and questions the benefits of the greaser’s biggest enemy; the Socials.

Survival instincts allow individuals to persevere during times of hardship and struggle. Unfortunately, many families in America are struggling lower-middle class or live in poverty. It’s nice to think a person can easily go from being dirt poor to filthy rich, but it doesn’t usually work that way. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton depicts the hardships and struggles experienced by two rival gangs, “The Greasers” from the lower middle class and “The Socs” from the upper class. Thesis: In The Outsiders, the Greasers experience disenfranchisement mostly due to socioeconomic class and appearance. However, other types of disenfranchisement such as drug, alcohol use and gang participation are also present in the novel.

As a young adult, it is difficult to grow up without parents and still be tough and brave. In addition, teens can be emotional and overreact at times. In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, a fourteen-year-old kid named Ponyboy Curtis feels different emotions that make him stand out from other Greasers, or “hoodlums”. Ponyboy, the youngest of all the Greasers, is a great example of a teen who feels isolated, brave, and emotional throughout the novel.

The Outsiders is about the Greasers and the Socs seeing their differences in a new way and learning that they aren’t as different as they think. The theme of “The Outsiders” is ‘crossing over the gap between the rich and the poor’. The author conveys this through character, symbols and events. S.E. Hinton shows the theme by everyone having their own personal suffering.

S.E. Hinton’s realistic fiction novel, The Outsiders, takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma-where social divisions is the cause of all their problems. Ponyboy, a Greaser, lives in a society where you’re either socially accepted or not. He isn’t as privileged or lucky as the Socs and isn’t socially accepted. Ponyboy and his gang have to endure rude treatment, beatings, and being outcasted. One lesson the story suggests is to stay gold. While some readers believe this means to be who you are and not let others hurt you, I argue that this means to preserve your childhood innocence and not grow up to become a mature, cranky old man, but stay pure and innocent. This is indicated by Hinton’s use of characterization, dialogue, and conflict.

Fracis Ford Coppola’s “The Outsiders” (1983) is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by E.Hinton published in 1967.

The Outsiders Theme Essay The book that we read is called The Outsiders written by S.E. Hinton, it takes place in the 60s and is written in a Greaser named Ponyboy’s point of view. In the book there are conflicts between the two social groups called Socs and Greasers. But in the story Ponyboy as well as all of his friends and family also face their own different kinds of struggles within the story. The theme I came up with was mainly based off of what happened to Ponyboy much rather than what happened to his friends and family.

The Outsiders message is about “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” It explains that nothing good can go on forever and nothing young can last forever. It tells you about how and why we should enjoy what we have and keep and cherish everything we have to its maximum limit. Why shouldn’t we cherish what we have? Why do we need more? Why can't we be equally treated with same amount of things such as money and houses? That is the real question. We have that to this very day. In The Outsiders, their lives are exactly like this. They have their awesome rich people lives and the poor have unhappy lives. Some of each gang just want to be normal, the same, or similar at least. But their money splits them up. All because of a little extra

S.E. Hinton, the author of The Outsiders, created an amazing book that has various main characters in it. This novel is all about a group of boys growing up in Oklahoma in the 1960s. All of the boys have extremely different personalities, which really helps the story stand out. The most caring and helpful of the characters Ponyboy Curtis. Without Ponyboy the book wouldn’t be as thrilling to read.

In the movie “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton I gave the movie a 3 out of 5 star rating. I give the movie a 3 out of 5 because some things that were in the book they changed in the movie. The movie was mainly about Ponyboy and his two brothers and the rest of the Greaser gang. The greasers and another group of people called the Socs were enemies. As a result of them not getting along, it led to many other problems throughout the story. I do not like how they did that because they left very important parts of the story that were in the book. In the book there was more of Ponyboys inner thinking. In the movie there was no inner thinking of Ponyboys. Another thing that was changed in the movie was that Ponyboy was less emotional. In the book they
