Character Analysis Of The Outsiders

In the novel the Outsiders, “Let me fight Darry…” Ponyboy said, “I guess you can.” Darry responds. This shows that Ponyboy should go to the system. If Darry would not let Ponyboy go to the fight, than it would make him a better guardian. On page 135 of the novel Outsiders, Ponyboy is telling Darry to let him fight, and Darry agrees to letting Ponyboy fight. After the rumble Ponyboy got a concussion for fighting for fighting with the socs, therefore Ponyboy is better in the system. Someone else might argue that fighting would help Ponyboy if he ever needed self defence. Ponyboy is better off with the system, because the system won’t let him smoke and Ponyboy would not get hit by Darry.

According to Keri Russell,“Sometimes it’s the smallest choices that change our lives forever”. I believe this quote means that you should always be careful of your choices because, any small mistake can ruin your life. This quote relates to the novel, The Outsiders, because there are many choices in the book that change our whole perspective about certain characters. No matter how somebody looks, treat someone like you would yourself, unless you have a reason to treat them otherwise.

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.

When a person saves someone else what’s the first word that pops into your head? For instance, the first word that pops in my head is a hero because the definition of a hero is a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities: a war hero. This topic is important for people to realize how a person can show that a “superhero” that has powers isn’t the only person that can do it, but the strength of a regular human, even if it’s someone you would never guess would do such a heroic phenomenal. This intertwined with the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton because in chapter six the main character, Ponyboy and Johnny the “greasers” mascot were framed for the murder of Bob, one of the “Socs”.

Think of Captain America, Ironman, and even Batman in their world they are the most popular superheroes, yet they have conflicts with themselves as well as super villains. Why? Why are those amazing people saving people only to lead themselves to suffering. This concept comes to show in the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton it is the story based on 2 teenaged gangs, the Socials, and the Greasers, who are determined through wealth and social place in the late 1950’s in Oklahoma.

Cherry is drawn to the Greasers because she finds them to be more of a real friend group, compared to her So’s. She is socially trapped when she is with the Soc’s, but when she is with the Greasers, she feels that she can show her true self, and not have to worry about her appearance. Cherry is with Bob because she is expected to have a rich, well off boyfriend, it is not because she likes him. Secretly she threatens to fall in love with Dally because he is everything she wants to be, and represents everything that she cannot have.

“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.

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.

Two-Bit wants to be a part of something that he likes. I know this because he tries to be funny with his friends, Helps by babysiting Ponyboy, and fights really hard in the rumble.

The Outsiders is a book made in 1967 that was about the lower class citizens that are fighting against the SOCS for justice and at the same time caring for each other.

The Outsiders is mainly about a group called the Greasers that don’t have nice items. They have long hair, they are poor, and they rely on mechanics. The setting of this book takes place in Texas in the southwest during the 1960s. Ponyboy, Johnny, Darry, Sodapop, Dally, Two - Bit, and Steve Randle are a group of brothers and friends. This setting affects the story as it affects everything that is happening in the book: it affects the characters and their actions and affects everything that the characters do.

Change is inevitable; it happens to everyone and everything. If you resist change, disaster arises. If you embrace change, it will lead you to greater things. Ponyboy, for example, changes throughout the novel The Outsiders. He didn't always embrace change, but in the end, has learned to accept it. The three ways he changed are by becoming more aware that Socs and Greasers aren't the same, cutting his hair, and losing a friend.
