    A meaningful theme brings a sense of purpose to any novel, and ties all the events together in a coherent way. Many of the most appealing storylines have more than one central idea which the story revolves around. The Outsiders explores the two reoccurring themes of "bridging the gap" and "honor among the lawless" through an array of characters and emotions. The message of "bridging the gap" is relevant in this novel because, there is a seemly insuperable gap between the two social classes, the Greasers and the Socs. The Socs are the upper-class children of the West Side, the kids who were always jumping the destitute Greasers of the East Side.…

    Thelma and Louise, a film by Carolyn Ann Khouri, trails the liberations of two working class women in the 90’s. These women plan a weekend away from the men in their lives due to the fact that Thelma’s husband is a misogynistic man who feels that a woman’s job consists only of housework and cooking. In the first scene of the movie Thelma wants to ask her husband, Darryl, for permission to go on the trip with Louise. He yells at her and she quickly changes the subject. In my opinion, this is one of the most crucial scenes in the entire film because it outlines the sexism and discrimination that these two women will face throughout the course of the movie.…
