Outsiders are those who are misjudged and misunderstood. They are misjudged and misunderstood because people in our world can not accept people who are different from themselves. Also people have certain expectations for other people. One other thing is that people come from different backgrounds. They are raised differently, so that is an affect on how they are.
People who are different are not accepted by other people. They are misunderstood and misjudged, because people in our world can not accept people who are different from themselves. For example in a school the rich preppy kids are the insiders. They have a big group of friends, they all wear the same types of clothes, drive nice cars, and get all their money from mommy and daddy. These people do not like other people who are not in their friend group. Why? Because they are divergent, whether it be that they are smarter and “nerdy” or wear different clothes then them. The biggest one though is what you look like and what people you hang out with. This does not just happen in high school, this happens everywhere. At work with adults they do the same thing. The only thing making outsiders outsiders is that they are being judged by society

People have different background and were raised differently. So they the way they act, look, dress have some what to do with what they have lived with. Like if your family has less money and can not afford nice name brand clothes. If your family is rich and you have all the nicest things that you can buy. If that your family is poor and you do not have many clothes or running water at home. Also if your family does not really care what you do that can affect what you do or say. If your family is strict or if you have had a lot of troubles in life and in your family, like divorce or deaths. All of these things can affect a person and make them an outsider, which they get misjudged
One of the most famous outsiders in history is Martin Luther King. He was considered this because he decided to take a stance against what's normal and average. He wanted to have equal rights for both African Americans and Caucasians. By doing this he was considered an outsider by all people. They either stood with him or against him during his outside revolution. Although he did not like to be considered an outsider as shown by this quote “Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Anyone who lives in the US can never be considered an outsider anywhere in the country” He was an outsider by trying to make no one feel like an outsider themselves. So throughput this he didn't belong to the groups trying not to allow equal rights. But to the people, he stood up with he was a leader and belonged to their group, therefore even if you don't feel like you belong with the group you're in, you have a network.
An outsider is one who is simply just misjudged by others. A big factor of misjudging someone is the appearance of how they physically look. For example, in the novel The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, the main character, Gregor Samsa, wakes up one morning to discover that he has transformed into a human bug. When his body became visible to the Samsa family, everyone freaks out and starts
What does being outsider mean? Does it mean being left out of being different? People have often felt like an outsider at one point in their life, and wonder why. Are outsiders misjudged or misunderstood? These two terms meet at a crossroads, and are commonly misinterpreted. Misjudging someone is when you make a solid assumption or conclusion about them, whether it be on their looks our how they act. Being misunderstood is when someone interprets you for someone you are not. Based on both of these definitions, outsiders are simply misjudged. We can see examples of outsiders being misjudged both in literature and in modern day society.
No matter where one goes on this dismal chunk of rock, one will probably encounter an outsider. In high school lunchrooms there is always at least one poor, sad teenager who has the unlucky seat next to the trash can. In parks and school playgrounds there is always that one melancholy kid that provides a stark contrast from the joyful shouts and screams coming from the other playing children. The experience of being an outsider is an inescapable universal condition that can be caused through social class, appearance, or other factors.
Are outsiders simply those who are misjudged or misunderstood? Whether outsiders are misjudged or misunderstood depends on whose perspective you view this question from. When you look at someone you are developing an opinion of them, and you may be misjudging them by deciding they are an outsider. While when you are the person being judged you feel that you are just simply misunderstood. You may have experienced one or probably both of these perspectives. Moreover to truly understand what it means to be an outsider you need to understand both of these perspectives.
Just how unnatural or strange are humans? You think of the outcasts in society and wonder just why are they considered outsiders. Are they really outcast or are they simply just misunderstood human beings. Some of our most brilliant people in the world were outcasts and strange, but overall they were seen as downright weird. Why do humans have to name these people we do not understand? Sometimes individually think of outsiders as people with mental disorders ,but many people with these disorders are geniuses such as Lewis Carroll. Outsiders remain simple misunderstood people because most of them are geniuses.
The first reason why “outsiders” are misjudged is because others judge them on where they live, who their parents are, and their social status. Ever since humans have been on earth, we place each other into a socioeconomic status. Certain people might live in a terrible, broken down house in a dangerous part of town, due to not making enough money. Others might be rich, living in a ginormous mansion, and living like a king. The poorer and less fortunate can't often help that they don’t have a lot of money. Yet, some richer people judge these poorer people on things like where they live or how they might dress. This happens a lot more in high schools, although some adults could do this too. Others might judge the “outsider” because of who raised them. The “outsider’s” parents might have had a “troubled past” in the eyes of some people and they might judge the outsider for being their child. It could also be the exact opposite and others could judge the outsider due to their parents being “wealthy” or “snobbish.” People are judged all the time based on lives that they can’t control. An outsider might want to try and create a better life for themselves
First of all, sometimes being an outsider is completely unavoidable. The Doll’s House is a short story that is about siblings, the Burnell children, who acquired a doll house and want to show it off to everyone in the neighborhood, except the two Kelvey sisters. The Kelveys were the poor children in the story, the outsiders. They were a good example of being outsiders because they were the last to see the doll house. Other outsiders who read this story could relate to that because of
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.
An outsider is someone who stands out from the crowd. They have their own beliefs, their own way or thinking. Standing out is often thought of in a negative way, but it can bring along many positive things. During the time period of Martin Luther King Jr., there were many protestors who began to stand up for themselves and their race. Even though many people did it, there were only a few people who started the movement, and those people, were outsiders. Two people who were outsiders from that time period were Jackie Robinson and Rosa Parks. They stood against normal beliefs and tried to change the way of life, which is what many outsiders do. An outsider is not simply someone who is misjudged or misunderstood.
An outsider can be a person who does normally not fit in with the people around them, acknowledging that they are unique and special in their own way. Another way an outsider can be looked at as is “a person not belonging to a particular group, set, party, etc.” (Dictionary.com). With there being different meanings to the word outsider an actual outsider can be timid and absent to the people around them or they can be outspoken and persistent by any means necessary.
When everything and everybody is alike in the community, you can't really be yourself because, the rules are so strict that everyone is acting the same. For example, "Jonas moved his hands together, clapping, but it was an automatic, meaningless gesture that he wasn't even aware of. His mind had shut out all of the earlier emotions: the anticipation, excitement, pride, and even the happy kinship with his friends. Now he felt only humiliation and terror" (p. 60). That shows that they don't even get to pick what they want to do in life, and can easily be humiliated when something doesn't go the same way things always
For my first example outsiders could be very ubisassed. However some could say that they can be biassed.Although they could be unbiased because they don't have lots of people to socialize with if they dont have people to talk to that means no one could tell them what to think. As i said they still could biassed that could be true because they could hear things on the radio, news, or see it on social media. This could affect how they see some things.
I think that outsiders are those who are misunderstood. I think this because people that are outsiders are usually what is considered “weird”. People that are “weird” are usually just not like all the other people. People that are outsiders are usually unique and the other people just do not understand what they like. That’s what makes outsiders who they are… they’re just misunderstood.
The theme of the novel Outsiders determination is the right path to winning and succeeding. The genre of the book is realistic fiction. I assume the theme is determination, as the reason for example from the book Ponyboy and Johnny were brave enough to persevere and give up their lives and save those innocent children that were in danger from the fire. When they approached to the church, Ponyboy and Johnny quickly got out of the car and ran to the church to see what was going on and went inside of the church to go to rescue the children from the fire. I also got the idea of the theme as it said in the text when Johnny was in the hospital, Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry were at home and abruptly they saw on the newspaper the front-page was about 3 brave boys rescued children (heroes) so indeed that was one of their characteristic that fits into determination, in my opinion Johnny played a real important role in the book because he died, after rescuing the children in the church and that is a sign of true bravery and determination to me.
