    In “The Outsiders”, S.E. Hinton created more than twenty characters each having diverse personalities, which causes readers to feel a certain way about them, such as admiration or hatred. For example, Sodapop Curtis would make the perfect bae, because of his charming personality. Additionally, if Darrel Curtis, Soda’s older brother, were a real person, he would most likely become someone's frenemy, due to his actions and words. While Dallas Winston would be the ideal person to be eliminated from the young adult novel.
