Outsiders

The Socials and the Greasers: Who’s to blame? Could you imagine living in a place that was always divided, and the blame for problems always being thrown around everywhere? The Outsiders, a novel by S. E. Hinton is the story of two groups of people: The Socs, which is short for Socials, and the Greasers. In the story both of the groups are surrounded in conflict between each other and soon leads to many bad decisions made by the groups. The character who is telling the story is a Greaser named

In S.E Hinton's The Outsiders, differences in one another have taken over society. This story is about a group of boys who aren't as fortunate as others, and are punished for that. In our world, no one chooses to be poor, no one likes wearing the same clothes everyday, and living just too be judged everyday. What we don't know is behind those faces, are people just like you and I, though in our world today, those people aren't given a chance. In The Outsiders, the less fortunate boys, are labeled

about the people that they are closest to. Like many scientific theories, these opinions can later be proven false. Since this is such a common aspect of life, it is illustrated in many novels. An example of a story that it is illustrated in is The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. In the novel Ponyboy, a naive 14 year old boy who has been misjudging his gang members which also happen to be his friends later on realizes that he was wrong about all of them. Ponyboy's perspective of Dally ,Darry, and Johnny

Tuff: when you try to be cooler than the others. The Outsiders is a book about friendship with a lot of friends that stick together, do what each other want them to do, and do everything together. I have read the book and there are many pages. But there are a couple chapters that stick out to me and prove that they are all of those things. First, they stick together because they love each other. In Chapter 4 When Johnny killed the soc he asked Dally for a heater (gun) so he could protect himself

The book Outsiders was a very interesting book, I got to learn about how stuff worked back then. It had a lot of unexpected events. What i liked the most about this book was that ponyboy was always himself and never let anything change what he liked. Even though ponyboy was a greaser he always wanted to be the one who got a college education. My favorite character was ponyboy, I just love the way he always carried himself. He was very mature for his age too. He never let anyone pick on him for being

In The Outsiders, the central conflict of the story and the majority of the obstacles revolve around the distinction between the two social classes in the story. The separation between the Socialists and the Greasers creates many obstacles for Ponyboy, the main character, and throughout the story he has to deal with the challenges that are created. Ponyboy is a shining example of a person who is shoved into an incredibly unfavorable position by force, and he controls few, if any, of the issues that

In the 1960s, social dynamics and cliques of teenage life were just as important as they are today. “The Outsiders” portrays a gang of Greasers struggling to understand others, their emotions, and how to overcome the obstacles that are a part of life. The novel describes in great and accurate detail their lifestyle, including the way they dressed and spoke, but glosses over much of the heavier aspects of life during the 1960s, such as the Antiwar Movement and the Civil Rights Movement. Though

The Outsiders Christopher Reeve once said “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to preserve and endure in spite of overwhelming overwhelming obstacles”. In my eyes a hero doesn't need a cape or superpowers to help people. All a hero needs to do is help someone up when they fall down, they don’t need to fight for the galaxy, they don’t need to save the planet from an invasion all they need to do is help others. In Fact, the dictionary definition of a hero is, “a person noted

ACE-CE-S The theme of innocence makes The Outsiders relatable because it is a powerful message in today’s society. Right before Johnny dies he says to Ponyboy, “‘Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold…(Hinton 148).’” By saying this Johnny is trying to tell Ponyboy to hold on to his innocence for as long as he can. At the beginning of the book when Johnny killed Cherry’s ex boyfriend Bob, Johnny had lost his innocence. When Johnny realized how much he wished he could have his innocence back he made sure
