Summary: The Outsiders

The Outsiders movie which was released on March 25, 1983, is a American drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola .It is a crime thriller and is adapted from a novel of the same name by S.E. Hinton .The Film was shot on location in Tulsa, Oklahoma and set in 1965 .The story of this movie revolves around the conflict between the two different social groups ,which is the rich and the poor. It is a class versus class conflict which gives rise to a physical conflict between the Greasers and the Socs .I feel there are physical fights throughout the story between the two groups due to enculturation. The native culture that is transmitted from one generation to another among the Greasers is the reason for their limitations.

Serious events can cause change in a person's life. S.E. Hinton's novel The Outsiders tells a story about a teenage boy, Ponyboy, that lives with his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. Pony and his gang are all poor Greasers so they are constantly mugged by the privileged Socs. Since the Socs and Greasers do not get along and are constantly fighting each other, the kids are almost always injured. In The Outsiders, Ponyboy learns a lot of important lessons because of the events that take place. Pony learns that all Socs are not mean, that Darry does love him, and that there is lots of good in the world. He learns many different things that help his life; however, the most valuable lesson is that all Socs are not rude.

The title of the story is The Outsiders. S.E. Hinton wrote it. Dell Publishing published the book. The main characters include Ponyboy, Darry, Soadapop, Dally Winston, Johnny, Cherry, Two-Bit, and Marcia.

The Greasers felt like outsiders around the Socs because the Socs were the upper class. Socs were always in advanced classes so when Ponyboy (a greaser) was in biology class filled with Socs , he felt like an outsider. When Ponyboy had to dissect a warm and the razor wouldn’t cut, he took out a switchblade. The girl beside him was a Socs and she sad “They are right, you are a hood” (Doc B). So, when Ponyboy was in an advanced class filled with Socs and when

My opinion on the movie I watched, “The Outsiders” is that it was okay. I found some parts boring. There were some parts that was trying to be as emotional as the book and they looked very fake. The director of the movie was Francis Ford Coppola. The author of the book was S.E. Hinton. The Year the movie was made was 1983. The movie was about two gangs. The Socs and the Greasers. Two Greasers (Johnny and Ponyboy). A group of Socs jump them and Johnny is forced to kill one to save his friend from drowning. Johnny and Ponyboy run from the law to a small town named Windrixville. They soon become heros.

The Outsiders, made in 1983, is based on the original book made in 1967, The Outsiders. The movie copied the same plot of the book heavily, as it still portrays the same main character, Ponyboy Curtis (played by Thomas C. Howell), a fourteen year old boy living with his two brothers. This one and a half hour film shows Ponyboy’s life as a greaser, as he experiences the positive and negative sides of his family life style, and questions the benefits of the greaser’s biggest enemy; the Socials.

As a young adult, it is difficult to grow up without parents and still be tough and brave. In addition, teens can be emotional and overreact at times. In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, a fourteen-year-old kid named Ponyboy Curtis feels different emotions that make him stand out from other Greasers, or “hoodlums”. Ponyboy, the youngest of all the Greasers, is a great example of a teen who feels isolated, brave, and emotional throughout the novel.

"Life is a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor" [ by Sholom Aleichem]. The "Greasers", practically the poor folks, have to struggle more than the "Socs", the rich folks. To support this claim, in the book many parts say how the “Greasers” have to make sacrifices and are exposed to violence. Some people say "Greasers" have it worse because don't have a choice to be very successful in life, but the "Socs" do but don't use those advantages to help themselves; against this claim is the thought that the "Socs" have it worse because they have so much pressure loaded on them which causes them to be tensed and leads them to doing the wrong thing. Because of the sacrifices they made and violence they were exposed to the “Greasers”struggle more than the “Socs”.

Also they do not relate to each other as individuals so they just don’t know the Greasers but they always knew to not like them. The Socs hate the greasers so much because they feel they are better than them and feel the need to be mean. Also just because you're rich doesn’t mean that you’re life is amazing. Maybe the Socs want lives like the greasers because they are more free and they feel the need to jump them to show who has power and that the greasers are powerless.

A writer on Pinterest posted a quote that said, “Maybe I can’t stop the downpour, but I will always join you for a walk in the rain.” This quotes tells us that our friends will always be there for us, even when times are difficult. In the novel titled The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, a young, meek boy named Johnny Cade shows that he develops as a strong man who realizes that no matter how tough a time he is going through, his friends are always going to be there to support him and help him get through all of the hardships in his life. Johnny is one of the youngest character in The Outsiders. He is part of a gang of teenage boys who identify as the greasers. The greasers do not have a lot of money or things but that never stops them from

Who has it harder? “Hey,grease,one said in an over-friendly voice. We’re gonna do you a favor,greaser. We’re gonna cut all that long greasy hair off. ’’The Greasers have it a little tougher than the socs because there life is kind of perfect because in The Outsiders by S.E Hinton it describes the Socs wealthier.

The Greaser have one of the most difficult life out there. Here are some reasons why.They are struggling in life and they don’t really have any money.They just have each other and always getting in fights.Also two of their friends are died and they were still dealing with that.The Greaser had it hard because lots of bad things were going on at once.On the other hand the Socs had it hard because their parents expect them to do many things they don’t want to.Tons of people have a tough life but many people believe that the Greaser had it way more tougher than the Socs.

The Outsiders message is about “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” It explains that nothing good can go on forever and nothing young can last forever. It tells you about how and why we should enjoy what we have and keep and cherish everything we have to its maximum limit. Why shouldn’t we cherish what we have? Why do we need more? Why can't we be equally treated with same amount of things such as money and houses? That is the real question. We have that to this very day. In The Outsiders, their lives are exactly like this. They have their awesome rich people lives and the poor have unhappy lives. Some of each gang just want to be normal, the same, or similar at least. But their money splits them up. All because of a little extra

Greasers compared to Soc's are like cats and dogs. They both despise each other. Since Greasers are poor, they get looked at differently. Greasers don't really have money. Greasers mainly grew up with money issues and many others have had tragedies, but Soc's always make it worse by picking fights and starting conflict.

“We’re poorer than the middle class. ”(Hinton 1967,pg.3) Since the greasers are so poor it lowers their chances of going to college or even finishing high school. Being poor also increases their chances of them being jumped or becoming criminals. “ you can’t win, even if you whip us.
