Analysis Of The Outsiders

No matter how happy someone seems, but according to Cherry “ Things [were] rough all over”(Hinton 35). That is also the main lesson we all learned from the book “The Outsiders”. The lesson that I learned is that things are rough all over, meaning that everybody is unhappy even if they look happy because you never know what they are going through and it’s true because Johnny was mostly happy, but who knew his parents abused him physically and verbally and Randy was rich and cool looking guy with a girlfriend, but he was sad because he lost his best friend bob.

Ponyboy tells us that,“when you’re a gang you stick up for members. If you don’t stick up stick together, make like brothers, it isn’t a gang anymore,”(Hinton 26). This is what the greasers do for each other: they stick up for one another and build a supportive community. In the story, The Outsiders, by SE Hinton, the book is about Ponyboy and his gang taking care of each other because there gang is that they fight against the Socs. The characters and actions of this story create a supportive community Kindness and Loyalty.

The Outsiders. It is a well-known book and movie and is the focus of my essay. I have always loved this book and the movie and decided that this was the perfect opportunity for me to not only watch the movie but read the book. This book is a great piece of literature and luckily for this class is well based on crime.

Recently, I had watched the movie “The Outsiders”. It's a 1h 30m drama film focused on two groups: the Greasers and the Socs. The movie, directed by Francis Coppola, was released in 1983 and based in the late 60’s. It was an interesting film that showed how the division between people can tear up a town and how people are wrongly judged because of their socioeconomic status. There have been some mixed reviews around the film. So, I would like to give my opinion on it.

S.E. Hinton, the author of The Outsiders, is considered one of the most influential writers for

To begin, In The Outsiders Ponyboy has a complicated life between finding time to do school work, being able to hang out with his gang and dealing with all of his relationships. One of the relationships that Pony struggles with is the one with his brother, Darry because they do not get along very well. When Ponyboy fell asleep outside in a parking lot and came home late because he lost track of time, Darry was furious and eventually hit Ponyboy. Darry did not handle the conflict well, if he did not hit Ponyboy, he may have never ran away. “Suddenly it was deathly quiet. We had all froze. Nobody in my family had ever hit me. Nobody. [...] I turned and ran out the door and down the street as fast as I could” (Hinton 50). Ponyboy would not have ran away from home that night until Darry hit him. The way Ponyboy handles his conflict greatly impacts of how he Comes of Age physically, mentally and emotionally. Later on in the story, Pony and Johnny decide to run away. They are in a park hanging out until they come across a Social, or a ‘Soc’ a kid from the popular group in town. Then the Soc’s leader, Bob comes to the park and starts to drown Ponyboy in a fountain, Johnny goes into defense mode. Johnny is trying to protect himself and Pony from Bob. He ends up killing Bob. If Johnny did handle the conflict differently, than he and Pony would have not ran away and matured. “Bob the handsome Soc, was lying there in the moonlight, doubled up and still. A dark pool was growing from

The Outsiders, by SE Hilton, includes many different events. The Greasers and the Socs are the complete opposite from each other.

Most of the time they struggle getting along, but they figure out a way through it all in the end even though a couple of people don't survive.

I was instantly hooked by The Outsiders, an action-packed, absorbing realistic fiction book about friendship by S.E. Hinton. The subject I researched was gang wars based on social class differences and this relates to this book because the main character of this book, Ponyboy, is in a gang that is primarily made up of his friends and family and their gang is frequently getting into fights with the Socials, another gang due to their socioeconomic differences. Ponyboy’s gang is called the Greasers, and the Greasers are underprivileged teens from the East Side, while the Socs are wealthy kids from the West Side. This is an important topic because your socioeconomic status affects your well-being, wealth, and the way others see you. The author presents this topic by tactfully weaving this theme into an entertaining story, and she wrote this story to show that conflict based on social status and wealth is dangerous and pointless because in the end we’re all human.
