An outsider is someone who is not accepted or is isolated from society. ‘Of Mice and Men’ is set in the 1930’s, where society considered many people as outsiders. During this period, many people were racist, sexist and prejudice towards disabled people. This is shown with several characters in the novel including Crooks, Curly’s wife and Candy who are all considered as outsiders in this novel, since they each had something that the society at that time were prejudice towards.

An outsider is a person who is rejected by others due to being unusual or peculiar. Often that people who are outcast are ostracized and shunned. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies is a novel about how young boys unattended on an island become savage and corrupt as they try to get back home. The novel explores the details of Piggy, one of the major characters, who is very different from the rest of the boys. Annoying and whiny, he is eventually ostracized by most of the other boys who think he is an unnecessary burden to their survival. Piggy is often bullied and made fun of for his obese body and intelligence. There are an abundance of adjectives that can be used to describe Piggy, but the one word that fits Piggy the most is outsider.

The Novel The Outsiders reveals that it is the “real” and “raw” moments the define an individual as human. In these moments of authentic and selfless love the attributes of individual become more definitive then social class, or reputation. Through examining Dallas Winston and his love for Johnny and Randy’s emotional encounter with Pony boy Hinton’s most haunting and enduring argument become evident, that self discovery imposed by love and loss has no sides but the outside.

What is an outsider? An outsider is a person who is not excepted by or is isolated by society. Have you ever been an “outsider”? Everyone experiences a situation where they weren’t able to fit in. The feeling of not being able to fit it is universal. Not everyone is the same and in certain situations you may not be able to bond with everyone. Everyone is focused on being judged or being the person who is judging someone. If you are not like everyone in your society group, those people don’t except you. Nowadays our society feels that if you aren’t up to people’s expectations, you are known to be an “outsider”. Being an outsider is universal because not everyone is social, not everyone can afford nice things and not everyone is popular.

Outsiders are people who do not act the same way we do. Some outsiders are welcomed in society, others are tolerated. I think that my culture allows others who are similar more readily than those who very different. Deviance is identified as anything that is out of the norm for my society. If an individual is engaging in an act that the majority of the people of my culture find offensive, then this individual is punished. Punishment can be any number of things such as ostracization, imprisonment, or even death. Many individuals labeled as deviant are sent to psychologists who are expected to help

The character that I had chosen to analyze was Ponyboy Curtis in the movie, The Outsiders (Coppola, 1983). I chose this character because the movie revealed how Ponyboy got to where he is mentally and everything that had occurred to get him to that point. I will analyze the adolescent phase of Ponyboy’s life. The theme of The Outsiders is how love can affect the relationships of close friends. The theories and theorists that support my analysis are Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial theory, Albert Bandura’s Observational Learning, Lev Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Perspective and Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Systems theory: Microsystem (Sigelman, 2015). From those theories and theorists the following points will be analyzed: identity, peer pressure, self-worth, and dependence.

In the story “Nightwalk” by Aleem Hossain, the narrator is considered an outsider. An outsider is someone who is, or feels, disconnected from society and the people around them. The narrator is an outsider because he is withdrawn from society. The narrator is withdrawn because he separated himself from the people around him.

Outsider’s are usually an outlier of a group, and are viewing the group from an outside point of view, rather than actually in the action. Not being part of the group can oftentimes cause them to feel left out, because they don’t have a lot in common with the main group of people. In the short story, “On the Rainy River” by Tim O’Brien, the main character, who 's also happens to be named Tim O’Brien, is a young adult who happens to get drafted in the war two months after he graduates college. However he doesn’t believe in the war, and in college he even made a couple of editorials about how the war was wrong. Tim not

Outlier: “a person or thing situated away or detached from the main body or system.” Liesel and Ender both are in situations which they are different from the general public. For instance, Ender Wiggins, he is a 3rd, he shouldn’t be born, and he surely shouldn’t have been a hero, but he was. Ender is sent to battle school where he is the youngest kid there, again making him different. Liesel Meminger is a little girl,

There are a variety of people in our society and divide into two main groups. There are people who associate easily with other people are more likely to interact with people. However, there are people who live in a quiet do not mix with other people. We call those people an outsider. To define an outsider as a single sentence from dictionary.com, “A person not belonging to a particular group, set, party, etc” (1). There are also various definitions of the outsider. Among them, Wing Biddlebaum who is the main character in Anderson’s work is not an outsider from the beginning. He chooses to become an outsider because people are misunderstanding his action with hands. Emily who is the main character in Faulkner’s work is an outsider from the start. Emily, who grew up in a wealthy family, is afraid of people’ eyes to her.

Every day, you might see that one person that does not seem to fit in with the crowd, but that does not mean that there is something wrong with them. These people are called ‘outsiders’, and they may seem like an odd group to keep around, but these people do have value in society. Outsiders can think of things that the regulars might never think of, they have different skills that someone else needs for a specific job, and outsiders add to your overall life by making things interesting and different than if everyone was the same.

The author defines a deviant as one who deviates from the rules of some social group (and who therefore is an outsider to that group). An outsider is also defined from the point of view of the deviant as those from the social group who act as judges and arbiters of the rules.

Mike Birbiglia, an American actor and filmmaker once said, “Alienation, I suppose, cannot be hackneyed because it will always exist.” It is always interesting to hear what others think an outcast is. To some, and outcast is someone who does not dress nice or smell good all the time, while to others an outcast is a person who is shy and quiet. Outcast have been around since the beginning of civilization. In ancient times they were called untouchables, in medieval times they were called beggars, but now they go by many names. Some think social class defines the weakest in society; but just because someone is not the same as most, he or she does not deserve to be treated as less than. Robert Frost, one of the most famous American poets, is constantly referred to as someone who described alienation in his poetry. He knew exactly how to develop a clear separation of people within a society in many different ways. Robert Frost demonstrated his views on alienation in three key poems.

    To be an outsider means many things. It means that you might be secluded from everyone else, misjudged, and different. There are also many reasons for this. One of the biggest reasons is that others just do not give the ‘outsiders’ a chance. In many instances, they simply do not want to. The short story “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka shows this, when the main character, Gregor, is transformed into a bug. This changes his life drastically, and his family soon begins to treat him like an outsider. His father assumes the worst, and throughout the story refuses to give Gregor a chance. “With his left hand, his father picked up a newspaper from the table and, stamping his feet on
