The Outsiders Quote Analysis

Johnny , Ponyboy and Dallas also possessed specific interpersonal skills like openness and empathy which can be clearly seen in the scenes where they rescue the kids from the burning church without thinking about the consequences. They valued others life more than theirs that they were ready to sacrifice their own lives for saving the children. Their selfless sacrifice is evident in the scene, where while turning the pages of Johnny's copy of ‘Gone with the Wind’, Ponyboy finds a letter from Johnny saying that saving the children was worth sacrificing his own life. To conclude, the story of ‘The Outsiders’ is inspiring and it contains violence and strong language. I think its themes and conflicts are highly valuable as they still address many of the issues in the modern world. This film’s realistic portrayal has created a new kind of filmmaking which portrays poor teenagers from the wrong side of the tracks .I feel it is an easier way to lead the new generation in the right track through this effective form of communication. The movie also uses various elements and principles of interpersonal communication in many scenes. It would be a good action movie for the young generation to watch as they are mainly related to the realities rather than fantasy that

The Outsiders display how adversity can help people find the real meaning of actions. Ponyboy thinks that Darry doesn’t care about him and believes he’s too strict as said in this passage “Me and Darry just don't dig each other. I could never please him… He never hollered at Sodapop, even when Soda dropped out of school or got tickets for speeding.

In the book Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, there is a character named Dally who is often very rebellious. He commits any crime that would give him thrills and shows savage pride in the fights he won. Although Dally seems “tough” and bold on the outside, he is far from being gallant. He shows signs of vulnerability as he lacks a lot of knowledge and skills that are vital in creating a balanced life.

Darry, the oldest brother have had many conflicts with Soda and Pony, which made him change during this novel. First, one event that made Darry change was when he slapped his little brother, Pony when he came home late. Pony ran away for a few days because he thought that Darry didn’t want him as a brother anymore. Darry was so sorry, sad, and mad at himself for slapping Pony.

Darry has to take care of his brothers and he does with his friends too .Darry lets his friends sleep on the couch when they don't have anywhere to go . Darry works two jobs just to be able to take care of his fam . Darry manages to keep a roof over his family's head . Darry somehow is unappreciated by his youngest sibling Ponyboy he is so ungrateful.

he is tough and all and the reader is lead to believe that Dally can survive anything but it

(184) But whenever there is a fight, Dally would always want to be involved and fight with others. " Dally blew off steams in gang fights." (14) " He had been arrested, he got drunk, he rode in rodeos, lied, cheated, stole, rolled drunks, jumped small kids---

When Dally gets angry, no one messes with him not even Darry, the unofficial leader of the gang. All these reasons point to the fact that 16 years on the street has changed Dally.

A second example of this is when Dallas pulls a switchblade on the nurse. On pages 143-144 it says, “‘I thought you were in the hospital,’ I yelled… ‘Talked the nurse into it with Two-bits switch.’...” This shows how Dallas likes being a rebel. As you can tell Dally is a rebel who doesn’t like following the

Firstly, Dally’s actions and words were, “"Here"--- he handed us a gun and a roll of bills--- "the gun's loaded. For Pete's sake, Johnny, don't point the thing at me. Here's fifty bucks. That's all I could get out of Merril tonight He's blowin' his loot from that last race."” Without thinking twice, Dally was ready to help Johnny and Ponyboy because he cared for them. Even though Dallas Winston does not care if he gets in trouble, but he cared if Johnny and Pony did. For example, Dallas Winston told Johnny, “"Johnny," Dally said in a a pleading, high voice, using a tone I had never heard from him before, "Johnny, I ain't mad at you. I just don't want you to get hurt. You don't know what a few months in jail can do to you. Oh, blast it, Johnny"--- he pushed his white-blond hair back out of his eyes--- "you get hardened in jail. I don't want that to happen to you. Like it happened to me..."” Dally knows that his dangerous exploits are fun for him, but not the personality Johnny has or deserves. When Dally, a hoodlum has an implored tone it has a significant meaning that proves Johnny and Ponyboy bring out the soft and affection. Therefore, Dallas Winston is proven a loyal member of the Greaser

In the beginning of the book, Dally goes to the movies and starts to bother a girl named Cherry. When she threatens to call the cops on him he says, (22) ”You ought to see my record sometime, baby [...], guess what I’ve been in for?” But then, Jonny sticks up for Cherry, and Dally ends up stocking out of the movie theater because he likes Jonny too much to hit him. Dally sounds like he’s proud of his record when he tells Cherry that. Dally needs the gang in his life because his family doesn’t care about anything he ever does. He just needs someone to look up to him.

In the novel The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, the interactions between Dally and Cherry, two characters with opposing beliefs, illuminate how when a person judges others, relationships cannot grow, and the verdict limits the one being criticized. Prior to the death of Bob, Cherry tells Ponyboy, “ ‘Dallas Winston [...] looked hard as nails and twice as tough. And you two don’t look mean’ ” (26). When Cherry met Dally she found him heartless, hateful, and reckless looking and she could not love him because of it. After that one encounter she made a decision that destroyed what could have been a relationship. She “could fall in love”(46) with him, but she avoided every chance she had because he was “tough” and “mean looking”. Their relationship could

That Johnny and Dally died. Johnny was still living with his abusive parents. Ponyboy,Darry,and Sodapop are brothers and all lived together. Dally Winston wanted to be dead, and he always got what he wanted. The novel and the film had their differences.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is about two groups of people called greasers and Socials (Socs). In particular, it’s about two greasers that experience struggles with themselves and others around them. Dallas Winston, a greaser, has quite of a wild personality. I consider him wild because of his tough look, his violent choices, his hard thoughts, and his rude way of speaking.

Being an Outsider (Prompt #2) Being an outsider doesn’t only mean that one is not allowed in a specific group, but it also means that one does not have the same privileges as another individual may have. In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, and Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the theme of “the outsider” is commonly used to describe people’s relationship with others. The outsiders in the two books are Cherry Valance in The Outsiders, and Piggy in Lord of the Flies. The two share similar qualities, but are also different in ways as well.
