The Most Important Events In The Outsiders

In The Outsiders, the story is told by a first person point-of-view, influencing the theme of the book to be more about what is important to the narrator, in this case, Ponyboy Curtis. Since Pony and Johnny killed someone and fled to the country, he might tell this tale with more detail than a Soc would, along with more emotion and greater remorse. Since Johnny was important to him, and he wanted peace and equality of the Greasers and Socs, he supposedly

The Outsiders is a realistic fiction novel written by S.E. Hinton. In order for every book to have a good plot, it needs one or more conflict. In The Outsiders, there are several hostilities. The conflict doesn’t just happen to Ponyboy, but everyone in the book is affected by opposition. While there are many different kinds of disputes in this novels, the main ones are character versus character, character versus nature, and character versus society.

The theme of The Outsiders is that everyone can rise above what others expect from them. This is relevant throughout the book when Johnny and Ponyboy save the kids from the burning church, when Randy doesn't want to fight or hate the Greasers anymore, and when Johnny stands up for Cherry and Marcia.

The first event that I think is the most important in The Outsiders is Ponyboy’s parent dies. Ponyboy’s parents died in a automobile accident before the story took place. When Ponyboy’s parents have died Ponyboy lives with his two brother Sodapop Curtis, and Darry Curtis. Ponyboy and his two brothers have to learn an important part in life of surviving without a parent. The three greasers have to learn to feed, clothe, and take care of themselves without a parent.

Have you ever met someone that you absolutely hate but they actually like you and always try to be nice to you? If you have, good for you! If you haven’t, still good for you.Anyways, on to what the book is about. The Outsiders is about a gang called “The Greasers” that have a rivalry with a gang from the West side called “The Socs”. The Outsiders is told from the perspective of a 14 year old named Ponyboy Curtis (a member of the greasers). Ponyboy enjoys reading and watching movies alone unlike the other Greasers. So, what exactly happens in the novel? Well, one day, Ponyboy comes home late. Darry (Ponyboy’s and Soda’s older brother) lashes out on Ponyboy causing him to run away. That same night, Johnny kills a Soc because he was trying to

The Outsiders was about the greasers and the Socs. The Socs always jump the greasers, one day Johnny fights back, he ends up killing Bob. Johnny and Ponyboy run away to a church and hide until Dally comes and gets them. They then see the church was burning, Ponyboy and Johnny run into it to save the kids inside. Johnny and Dally get injured, Ponyboy is okay. The greasers win the rumble, the Socs will stay out of the greasers territory, Johnny passes away from his injuries, Dally robs a store, the police shoot him, and he does not survive the shots. In the end Ponyboy decides to regather his life and he starts with writing his theme for his ELA class. The book The Outsiders book, the

The Outsiders is a wonderful novel to read in the classroom because of its conflicts with one another. During this novel, the Curtis brothers realize that they are the only family they have left, and they make the best out of that. Throughout this novel, Darry, Soda, and Pony have changed dramatically throughout this

There are two conflicts that are mainly presented in The Outsiders. First, Ponyboy feels unloved by his brother Darry. Ponyboy feels this way when he’s walking home from the movies and is yelled at for walking home alone when nobody would go with him. Darry states many times to Ponyboy “use your head.” Also in the novel, Johnny goes through man vs fate because he can’t escape his death. He believes that his death was for a great purpose and that the kids live have greater value than his, but he still doesn’t want to die.

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.

The Outsiders is a Novel set in the 1960’s that explains the divide between people with similarities and differences. The book explains life as it was in the past, is in the present, and will be in the future. It talks about the rift between different people in society and their social classes. Every rift must try to be changed by someone for the benefit of society, and that person is exalted as a hero. There are many heroes in the outsiders, but the biggest hero is Ponyboy because he was empathetic to others, quick to think and act, and stands strong and moves forward to overcome challenging events in life that seem impossible to overcome.

“The Outsiders” is by far one of my favorite books of all time. I think it’s a great story that tells about how a fourteen-year-old boy overcomes many challenges and learns how to get through each of them individually. “The Outsiders” is a story about a boy named Ponyboy that lives with his two older brothers, and they have a group of friends, called the Greasers. One day Pony gets upset with his older brother, Darry, and goes to a park with his friend Johnny to calm down. At the park, a group of kids, called Socs, come and start drowning Pony. Johnny gets scared and doesn’t know what to do so he kills one of the Socs. Soon after, Pony and Johnny decide to run away so they wouldn’t have to deal with

The movie “the Outsiders” is very different from the book, written by S. E. Hinton. The very first scene in the movie shows Ponyboy writing in his journal the very first words in the book, “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight…” (The Outsiders). The book does not show or say in the beginning of the book that Pony was writing in his journal. Almost right after that scene it barely shows a slight argument/fight between greasers and socs. The book tells us that the fight was more serious and Ponyboy got hurt pretty bad, when in the movie all Pony gets is a little scar. After Johnny gets hurt when the old church catches on fire he ends up dying. Dally, another greaser that is part of the main group of friends, ends up shoplifting because he really cared about Johnny. Dally was eventually shot and killed by the police. The scene in the movie where Dally is in the store, thinking about shoplifting, is not in the book. “He’s just robbed a grocery store and the cops are after him.” (Hinton 153). The whole scene of Dally in the store is not in the book. Although there are many differences between the movie and the book, “the Outsiders”, there are also many similarities.

The Outsiders is a book about groups of people that get stereotype on where they live. The author also has written that was then, this is now. My theme is that friendship is the key to help get through loss. When Johnny dies and dally has a hard time with it.

‘’The Outsiders’ by S.E Hinton, is a life based story on Ponyboy Curtis. Ponyboy Curtis, the main character the narrator. I enjoyed reading the book and watching the book both. It would’ve been better if the movie was a lot more detailed like the book was. And if we could’ve watched the whole movie.

The story the Outsiders is about a town that is split into two, the Socs and the Greasers. They all have a rivalry. Some Greasers are kind of violent but some are just plain violent and careless like a character Dally. Although his actions show that he is reckless, the evidence shows that he cares=for Johnny and Pony and wants them to be safe because he ends up hurting himself because of it.
