Summary: The Outsider

In The Outsiders, a book written by S.E. Hinton, there are two polar opposite gangs, the socs and the greasers. The socs, who are high class, have mustangs and “tuff” cars and wear plaid clothing called madras. The Greasers, who are lower class, are known for their long and greasy hair, wearing leather jackets and being hoods. They only have each other and always have everyone’s back. No matter the situation like leaving a door open in case they need to run away from home because of an abusive dad , they can count on one another. Ponyboy, a 14 year old Greaser, who is also the protagonist, along with other characters lose themselves while trying to be someone else they’re not. Hinton teaches us that it is important to remember that individual

“The Outsider” by H.P. Lovecraft tell the story of a man’s decent further into loneliness after venturing out into the real world after escaping the castle he has been concealed in his whole life. Lovecraft presents a dark and eerie writing style to manifest certain elements in the story that set the theme. Lovecraft suggests themes of loneliness as well as loss of innocence in the story, “The Outsider”, by employing the use of tone, diction, as well as point of view.

As many people say, a teacher can teach everything the world, but only if the student chooses to learn. This deeply applies to the main character in The Outsiders, a novel written by S.E. Hinton. The Outsiders tells the story of Ponyboy Curtis, the narrator and protagonist, and a member of a group called greasers, a lower class, loosely-organized teen gang in mid-1960’s. The greasers are "from the wrong side of the tracks," while the Socs, the rival gang, are privileged kids from wealthy families. Ponyboy was constantly struggling with nonconformity, especially with his brother Darry, who he’s thinks does not love him. When Ponyboy becomes involved in the killing of a Soc when he and his friend, Johnny Cade, are attacked in the park one night, and that event changes everything. The attraction of conformity can manipulate one’s decisions and thoughts, but overcoming the fear of standing alone will lead to self improvement suggests S.E. Hinton in The Outsiders.

Recently our class read the outsiders. I really enjoyed the book and, I will be talking about Weather I think i'm a soc or a greaser. I will also talk about how this book shows friends should stick together and, how the book shows that the greasers and the soc are not that different.

I feel like everyone in the book might consider himself an outsider. I also feel like people we'll only say the Greasers are but I feel like the SOCS are just as much as the Greasers. I mean the Greasers were poor and they had a lot more struggles with people dying and all, but the SOCS had all they could ever want and they all just wanted to be told no. they got everything they wanted and they just wanted to be stopped. They wanted for someone to set boundaries and live like a normal kid and not just feel like they have to be perfect or anything but to just be grounded for what they do. Because most of them know that they are basically throwing their life away with the drinking and fighting that always happens.

Albert Camus presents ideas of identity and the human condition in his classic novel The Outsider, through his exploration of gender and cultural representations as well as an insight into absurdum and existentialism. These concepts of identity and the human condition reflect on the society in which the novella has been set, demonstrating how women, those of other cultures and those who are considered to be different are represented. The novella tells a recollection of events of a young man named Meursault, emotionally detached from a society where he refuses to conform to society’s conventions and in turn a refusal to ‘play the game’. The novella begins with the death of Meursault’s mother and ends with his

An outsider should know the basic fundamental beliefs of an religion and it’s rules or regulations. A good example an outsider should know about the religion they are studying is whether or not that belief is a monotheistic or polytheistic religion. That particular detail is extremely important because for most monotheistic religions any recognition of another deity is forbidden. While polytheistic religions usually have multiple gods who each have different personalities or powers. This might be an obvious detail for most people but the significance ties into an outsider recognizing the many laws a religion might have. Besides, worshipping false idols, some religions restrict their followers from eating certain foods like pork or any meat

Once outside the narrator begins to roam around until he finds yet another castle. Which reminisces the one he had just left. The narrator climbs up to a window sill and looks inside the castle and finds what he believes are humans speaking. The inhabitants of the castle appear to be chatting idly to each other and laughing at each other's banter. As the narrator leans in close to see the people, they began to scream and race to escape the area. Leaving the narrator startled and terrified. The narrator then finds a golden archway and sees the monster that scared the inhabitant of the castle away. But when the narrator accidentally touches the monster, he realizes he is the monster, and he is looking in a mirror. (Lovecraft "The Outsider" 1-3)

Albert Camus’ title, The Outsider, strongly connects to the main character throughout the novel. The main character, Meursault, is an outsider to his general surroundings and is an amoral man. Throughout the novel, the readers notice that Meursault's behaviour and attitude toward family are absurd. His emotions are defused and detached as he discovers his mother has passed away. He doesn't grieve or exhibit any trouble over the passing of his mom. Next, the main character further enhances his characteristic of a stranger through his interactions with a woman and a new friend. Furthermore, Meursault ultimately displays actions that are taken as absurd when he is faced with society as he goes against their standards,

A detailed study of an extract from pages 14 to 15 from The Outsider by Albert Camus

Thinking for one’s self is the idea of the Self-Reliance written by Ralph Waldo Emerson. What makes someone follow a crowd, instead of making their own path in life? People tend to follow what everyone else is doing in our would today, instead of what they believe in their hearts. It is easier to follow someone else’s beliefs. Maybe it is because we do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Our world is changing before our eyes. Things I grew up with, are now considered offensive to someone.
