The Joys Of Being An Outsider

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.

I have always felt like an outsider. I wish I would have not cared earlier on about what people thought about me it would help deal with everything I went through .A thing to consider is that if I didn’t get bullied I wouldn’t be this confident person I am today.

An outsider is defined as “a person who does not belong to a particular group.” In the book, The Outsiders, many of the characters can be described as being an outcast from the social society. Ponyboy, Johnny, and Cherry are outsiders in this novel because none of them really fit into the groups that they’re “supposed” to be in.

What does being an outsider feel like? Is it not being by anyone, is it feeling like you have no place in the position you’re in? Or is it feeling like everybody you are around is a different species than you, and you belong back on home planet? Whatever it is, it’s different for everybody that feels that way, and eventually takes some getting used too.

“Everybody tries to be exactly the same. I think being an outsider is a good thing”- Ethan Embry. What this quote is saying is it’s ok to be an outsider because everyone tries to act the same so standing out isn’t a bad thing.Being an outsider can seem as an negative thing to everyone else but in To kill a mockingbird the author Harper Lee shows that it doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. Being an outsider is not a bad thing and the characters from the story prove that. Scout was an outsider in the story but it in a way helped her grow as a person. Arthur Radley was also an outsider which kept him from the negativity happening in Maycomb. Even Atticus was seen as an outsider because of who was defending. Anyone can be an outsider and that’s okay.

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.

In the book The Outsider by S.E Hinton, there are many problems between the East and the West side resulting to many conflicts. The author writes “‘It was the Socs’ I said nervously, because there were plenty of Socs milling around and some of them were giving me funny looks, as if I shouldn’t be with Cherry or something.’And I don’t like talking about it either, Johnny getting beat up I mean’”(Hinton 31). This shows how nervous Pony is about the Socs. They can not even be seen with a Socs and Pony is with two, Cherry and Marcia girlfriends of two major Socs. Another reason is, Johnny got beat up by two socs and he is a nervous wreck going anywhere Socs could be.” We all looked up and saw a blue mustang coming down the street, Johnny made

S.E Hilton’s inspirational book, Outsiders, is about a boy named Ponyboy and his best friends as they go on an adventure that will change them forever. I compared Ponyboy to myself and noticed many similarities and differences between the two of us. We are similar when it comes to social character, sports, grades, and even courage. Even though we have some similarities, we also have our differences when it comes to time period, freedom, generosity, and organization. I enjoyed comparing and contrasting Ponyboy to myself because he taught me that even though life can be tough, if you look on the bright side of things, you can find happiness once again.

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.

When people are growing up, being normal was the way to be cool. Everyone wants to be like everybody else and that’s the way it goes. What children and many adults still don’t understand is that being different and having diversity is a good thing. It is ok to be different, especially in today 's society. Being able to acknowledge that diversity and disability in everyday life and seeing the good in it will help bring together our society. For my next three paragraphs i 'm going to discuss what it was like to be an outsider, when I experienced diversity and an experience I have had with disability

Furthermore, a variety of genres of literature can benefit society by giving them knowledge of a social inequality and how they can help solve it. Financial inequality or discrimination of people in poverty is a global issue that many people in the past have tried to cure, however all of them concluded it was too big of a task to handle and didn’t get enough people throughout the world to get involved. Also, society doesn’t know, unless they were once in poverty, all of the causes and effects to be able to figure out a solution.

The ability for an outsider to accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observables aspects is more difficult than for an insider with several years of work experience (Lukasova, 2004). The difference in understanding the underlying cultural value between an outsider and an insider will vary from organization to organization and how often an employee interacts with an outsider.

The use of heat to portray existentialism is one of the crucial devices that amplify the tension in Albert Camus’ ‘The Outsider.’ The main character, Mersault, is an existentialist man who struggles to be accepted and understood by his peers every day, while not even fully realizing that struggle. He is the perfect representation of an existentialist, which is shown through the actions and thoughts he expresses. He is existentialist in the sense that he is a sensuous man, always completely immersed in what is happening at that very exact moment. He does not see the point in doing anything that will not contribute to his happiness, which is greatly dependent on his primary senses. What mostly affects Mersault’s senses and his existentialist
