Outsiders Essay Joey the teacher told me that you couldn’t decide to read or watch the Outsiders. Well I have done both and I wanted to give you my opinion on both the movie and the book.

The story has a very large climax in the middle, kick-starting a chain of events for the Curtis family. This essay will compare and review the relationships Ponyboy had with Dally and Johnny and how they impacted him and what role they played Ponyboy’s life Johnny Cade is described early on into the book as the “Pet” of they family (p. 22, PDF), it also is said that the Greasers gang would fall…

because he knows that pony has his whole life in front of him, and shouldn’t take it for granite. I think the characteristics that Ponyboy has definitely refer to this. First of all, he is not only the youngest Curtis brother but also the youngest greasers. This should make him the innocent, lovable, baby. Pony really proves that not all gang members are always JD’s (juvenile delinquents). Another thing was his love for literature. “Gone with the Wind” was one of the books he and johnny loved…

This leads me to think that they were in poverty in some level…
