    The Outsiders Themes

    For The Outsiders, I picked out two main themes. The first, which is shown throughout the entire plot, is that no matter how different we may seem from each other, we’re all just human and looking for a place to belong.

So with Johnny and Bob, they seem like complete polar opposites; one’s a Soc with parents that spoil him, and the other is a greaser with abusive parents that don’t pay attention to him.…
