The Outsiders
“Greasers- Poor/Regular Teens” “Socs- Rich/High class Teens”

Anthony Rizzo the first baseman on the Cubs is a team player because he does his responsibility on the field. Not only does he do his responsibilities he also donates to charity, and this reveals that he is very warm hearted to others. Another person that relates to him is Dally, Dally Winston he takes care of his gang, and does what needs to be done. The Outsiders is a significantly great book made in 1967. The book of the Outsiders was made at this time during segregation on purpose. Instead of using the real social segregation (whites and blacks) they use two other groups to show what was happening in this time frame. The book divided citizens into two different social classes. The Socs and the Greasers. The book tells a lot of conflict between the two. First of all, I know that Dally is a team player because in this book it shows that he finishes what he starts, cares about his gang, and how he is very smart. Back in the time frame of segregation you needed to keep your gang/family safe, it’s not safe to be alone!

Dally Winston is a TEAM PLAYER! Dally likes to finish what he starts, For example in chapter 9 Dally was in

Dally is very smart. I know that Dally is smart because he knows how to deal with the fuzz. For example, In chapter 9 when Ponyboy and Dally were rushing to the hospital to see Johnny after the rumble the fuz pulled them over. Instead of taking the ticket or whatever the fuz was going to give them he played it smooth, by using Ponyboy. He said “ Pony, act like you crashed your motorcycle and i'm taking you to the hospital”. The cop came to the window and Dally said “ I was driving by when I saw this kid laying on the ground, so i'm taking him to the hospital”. The Cop believed the story and they rushed to the hospital to see Johnny. So, it is evident that Dally is smart because he's smooth with the

    One of the main factors from stress could've easily been fighting and arguments with his gang of Greasers and Socs. On page 131 Ponyboy said "I knew he would be dead because, Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted." In this quote it is saying how Dally wanted to die. There are several reasons for why he might want to die but in my opinion the pressure of Greasers vs. Socs was a component in his death. Stress can very much wear a person down to where being gone may make him feel like it's the only…

    “A group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.” That is the definition of the word community. The Outsiders, a novel by S.E. Hinton, was based on a setting of a divided community consisting of the Socs, the rich Westside kids, and the Greasers, the poorer Eastside kids, usually deemed for trouble. The problem: they can’t put their differences aside, and realize they are both human. They just can’t crack the code on equality.…

    For my film analysis, I chose to analyze the movie “The Outsiders” directed by Francis Ford Coppola and based on the novel “The Outsiders” by S. E. Hinton. In this movie, a gang of outcasts from the north side of town called the Greasers are always fighting against a rival group called the Socials, who are the rich jocks from the south side of town. The story follows two young Greasers, Johnny and Ponyboy, who aren’t like the others. These two see that fighting is pointless, but it’s just the way they live their life. The two boys get into a fight with some Socials and end up killing one.…

    The Outsiders Themes

    • 543 Words

    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. This shown through both the Socs and greasers-- more specifically, Bob and Johnny. I used them as my example for the Parts to a Whole assessment, but I’m going to use them again. 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.…

In the book, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, she brings up a big problem in the world that is often ignored, or not seen a major problem in society that needs to be noticed. She presents the concept that when people stereotype others based off of their looks, appearances, and from they way they act, conflicts begin to evolve amongst each other. Conflicts begin to happen, because society begins to create personalities for people without even getting to know them, or their background.
