Similarities Between The Outsiders And Nothing Gold Can Stay

When writing The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton built her story around several key themes that readers could identify. After reading this book, I'm confident I have found a few of them. Stick with your people and uniqueness conquers wealth were probably lesser themes Hinton included for us to become conscious of. There is a bigger theme though.

First, when Ponyboy undergoes a revelation while talking to Cherry, also when (example 2 here), and finally when (example 3 here).

Both “Fire and Ice” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay” are great reads. They have their differences, but they have similarity’s as well. Having the common themes, while staying unique is impressive.

The main theme of The Outsiders is violence does not solve social conflict. In the beginning of the book Ponyboy thinks that violence is the solution to the Socs, but later through Johnny stabbing Bob, and finally making amends with Darry, Ponyboy figures out that you can’t solve social conflict with violence. This theme was relevant to the real world in Hinton’s time and still is today.

In ‘The Outsiders’ the Greasers are the outcast in their society due to their appearance, however in the text ‘The Help’ , the maids are the outcast due to their social statues and their race. Both composers
