    The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a very different book. This is because it is written from an “outsider’s” perspective. However, we didn’t get to see much of the Soc’s point of view. Cherry says in the book that life for an “insider” isn’t as great as it looks to the Greasers. Bob As the gang and I were racing down the street in my blue Mustang, I violently jerked the steering wheel away from a mailbox. I knew we shouldn’t be driving this drunk, but we didn’t care.

    The Outsiders The Outsiders was written nearly 50 years ago and schools still use it in the classroom today. It was based around stereotypes of groups, such as Greasers, in the book.

    I suppose Ms. Hinton meant that the Greasers were the outsiders. I deem plausible it that Greasers are perceived by the Socs and quite possibly by the Greasers themselves as Outsiders.

Since the Greasers are protagonists according to the newspaper it is probable that they were outsiders to their own kind. The Greasers might be considered the…

    This painting relates to The Outsiders by showing what the greasers feel like. The greasers have to go endure the fighting and being outlawed because they look like “hoods”.The greasers look like rough tides, swishing back and forth hopelessly because it seems as if they will never get to shine bright like the sun in the sky.This is evident on page 5, “Hey grease, one said in an over-friendly voice. We’re gonna do you a favor, greaser. We’re gonna cut all that long greasy hair off”. On the other…
