Although they are all different ages they all stay friends. They support each other through hard family times, for example; during the novel. Friendship is especially shown when Ponyboy runs away to hide with Johnny, so that Johnny don’t get into trouble with the police after killing a socs. Johnny shows that he cares about Ponyboy, but taking him back home to be with his two brothers. At the end of the novel, friendship is shown by Dally, committing suicide, as he can’t handle to live without Johnny.

The Outsiders illustrates the theme through the relationship of Ponyboy and Darry throughout the course of the book. In the beginning of the book, Darry slaps Ponyboy because he came home very late. This causes Ponyboy to run away from home with Johnny. Ponyboy tells Johnny, “‘He didn’t use to be like that...we used to get along okay...before Mom and Dad died. Now he just can’t stand me,’” (Hinton 51). This quote shows that Ponyboy is isolated from his brother. It shows how Ponyboy and Darry are drifting further apart from each other due to the death of their parents. Later on in the book when Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally are in the hospital, Sodapop and Darry come to see how they are all doing. When Darry and Sodapop see Ponyboy, they have a

But once he sees Johnny it gives him something to love and care about. He made sure that Johnny didn’t become violent. He says in the book multiple times he cares about Johnny he said “Johnny…I just don’t want you to get hurt.” A quote also says that “Johnny was the only thing that Dally loved. And now Johnny was gone.” Later in the book Johnny dies and it is too much for Dally and he gets himself killed. Dally was so distraught, he wanted to be dead.

The Outsiders was about the greasers and the Socs. The Socs always jump the greasers, one day Johnny fights back, he ends up killing Bob. Johnny and Ponyboy run away to a church and hide until Dally comes and gets them. They then see the church was burning, Ponyboy and Johnny run into it to save the kids inside. Johnny and Dally get injured, Ponyboy is okay. The greasers win the rumble, the Socs will stay out of the greasers territory, Johnny passes away from his injuries, Dally robs a store, the police shoot him, and he does not survive the shots. In the end Ponyboy decides to regather his life and he starts with writing his theme for his ELA class. The book The Outsiders book, the

The Greasers go to extreme lengths to help and protect their friends. When Johnny killed Bob to save Pony-Boys life it was an instinct that Johnny had. He said “They were drowning you pony, I had no choice.” Johnny saw that his friend was in trouble so on instinct his priority was to save Pony-Boy which meant killing Bob, but he did it anyway to save Pony’s life. This shows us that Johnny cares so much about Pony-Boy that he would do anything to save him even if it meant murdering someone and possibly going to jail. When Pony, Johnny and Dally went back to the church and saw that there was a fire Pony felt responsible so he went to rescue the kids then Johnny went after Pony-Boy when Pony-Boy was out and was waiting for Johnny to come out the church the roof collapsed on him and Dally went in to save Johnny even though it meant risking his life. Both of these examples show the theme of friendship. This theme was important because friends will do anything to help each other and be there for each other, and tell each other everything and anything. Friends will always be there to the end.

Johnny and Ponyboy are two characters in S.E Hinton’s novel ‘The Outsiders.' They both have contrary lives from each other with a few similarities, as well as being two greasers from a second society. Johnny has had a rough life so far since both his parents never cared for him. His mother would abuse him verbally, and his father would abuse him physically and verbally. As for Ponyboy, both of his parents died, leaving him with his two older brothers Sodapop and Darry. Johnny and Ponyboy both read ‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’ at the ran down church. They didn’t know precisely what the poem meant, but little do they know that the poem would have a significant similarity to them individually. Each line and stanza refer to the experiences that Johnny and Ponyboy have lived through throughout the story.

A similarity Johnny and Dally both share is a terrible home life. Early in the novel, Ponyboy dissects Johnny’s homelife. Pony says, “His father was always beating him up, and his mother ignored him, except when she was

I chose the Outsiders theme song from Lecrae. The reason I chose this song was because it tied to the book much more than the other. For example, it says, “ I ain’t tryna eat, I’m tryna feed these folks.” Lecrae is saying that he would rather help people and sacrifice his life for them, than hog everything that he has for himself. This ties to the book because Pony and Johnny sacrifice their lives to save the kids from the burning church. Another reason that I chose this theme song over the other is because the song explains the difficulties of being an Outsider, such as trying to fit in, and other lines in the song. He mentions a reoccurring they, which can be linked to the Socs and how they bully the Greasers. Lecrae also says, “ There’s

Furthermore, he wanted Ponyboy to go places and to not let his death hold him back. Similarly, in the song, there’s a line that states, “I hope you never look back, but you never forget/All the ones who love you, in the place you live/ I hope you always forgive, and you never regret.” This relates to the text, Johnny is telling Ponyboy to never let the thought of him escape Ponyboy’s memory but not to go back to all the pain of his death. These two pieces are very similar considering they both represent this scene very

The film The Outsiders takes place around 1960s Oklahoma in a small town separated by the Greases and Socs. The Greases gang being lower-class teens that include Ponyboy, Johnny Sodapop, and Dallas. Socs were the rival gang that are in a higher-class teens involve Bob,

In the beginning of The Outsiders we are introduced to Johnny. They explain that, Johnny Cade, has not only been jumped by socs and beaten by them almost to the point of death, but is also being abused at home, leaving him afraid of his own shadow. At the beginning it says, “His father was always beating him up, his mother ignored him, except when she was hacked off at something, and then you could hear her yelling at him clear down at our house.” (12) Those socs who jumped him probably didn't know that Johnny was already being beat at home, although this probably wouldn’t have stopped them jumping him since, maybe Cherry eventually could have found out and helped him. This connects to the theme because no one really knows what he’s been through besides his gang, even though he does not try to hide it that much he doesn’t really go around telling people about his situation. The other kids probably just

He sacrifices himself to save his friends and innocent children, and also shows no regret for it, despite losing his own life, shown in his dialogue ‘It’s worth saving those kids, their lives are worth more than ours’ (page 216) This demonstrates that he no longer fears death and that he feels that his life was not wasted because he saved the children. Johnny also ran into the church with Ponyboy, demonstrating that he would do anything at the side of his friends. This helps the reader to understand many of the key themes in the novels, as it shows that the bond that the gang shares is stronger than any other bond they

The song Secrets by One Republic and the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton have a lot of connections and resemble each other very well. In the third stanza the lyrics “My God, amazing how we’ve come this far” relate to the greasers and how their life can be very difficult. Another connection is when the lyrical poem says, “Who’s driving shiny big black cars.” This reminds of the Socs because they are rich and have nice clothes and cars. In the book a quote from Johnny is. This can relate to the song about keeping secrets because Ponyboy and Johnny had to hide after the killing of Bob. Also Ponyboy states how he has to always carry a blade with him incase he gets jumped by a Soc. In the fourth stanza the lyrics “Sick of all the insincere” is

I think the second song is a better fit for The Outsiders rather than the first song, because has more details that relate to the book, such as “They laughing at us, yeah we know.” In this line they would be referring to the Socs. Also, “We might die,” meaning that the greasers might die just as Johnny and Dally did. Another line that relates to the story is “There’s plenty of people like me,” those people being the Greasers. The line saying “We need these folks,” is saying that the Greasers need johnny and Ponyboy when the gang is going to make stupid decision.

We found that Dally didn’t have a very supporting family and Dally really connected with Johnny. So when Johnny died, it was very hard on him. Additionally, “Knockin’ On Heaven's Door” connected to this statement because the lyrics “Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door” describe how Dally was broken and hurt he felt when Johnny died after seeing him the hospital.
