The Outsiders was written in the 1960’s to describe the struggle between the upper and lower classes in that time period. S. E. Hinton, the author of the book, wrote it when she was in high school and published the book when she was a freshman at the University of Tulsa. She became known as “The Voice of the Youth”. This pressure brought her writer’s block that lasted three years. Hinton broke the block by writing two pages a day, which led to her next novel, That Was Then, This Is Now. She has…

Jimmy Crammer and I got one of our parents to drive us to the Commack Arena to see a concert. The then current popular band— signed to Apple Records by the freakin’ Beatles— was Badfinger, who was performing on a bill with two other acts—Cactus, who was the headliner, and Bull Angus— being the last band of importance. (Thanks Google. BTW–Tics were five bucks.) Commack Arena was a 6700 seat; dilapidated, old and tattered building, that looked like a huge airplane hangar, and once the house…

Family in the Outsiders Family has always played an important part in human’s lives. Family especially played an essential part in The Outsiders. It is what gave the bond to the whole novel and it’s characters. In the novel two types of families were displayed. A type of immediate family and a family through a bond of friends. The reader was more than likely persuaded to believe that one of the major themes of the story was that the family stays together. The types of family that are…

Once the boys arrived, they took seats in the two rows near the concession stand. When people hear the word hero, they will most likely think of Katniss Everdeen, Superman or even Mulan. What does being a hero actually mean? A hero is someone who is admired for their strength, impressive achievements, and their exceptional qualities. (www.google.ca/search?q=hero&rlz) Is a hero only recognized if they are capable of saving the world from villains? Or, is it possible that someone may be called…

1950s. There are scenes that take place at their local high school, at the beach, at a drive-in movie and more. There were two different types of cliques that are focused on in this movie: The “greasers” and the “Pink Ladies”. The Pink Ladies are into romance, beauty, smoking and men. The “greasers” are interested in having sex…

One of the first examples of violence was when Ponyboy was jumped. Ponyboy was walking home from the movie theater when he got jumped by Socs. This happened due to the difference in social classes. The Socs thought they were better than Greasers. Ponyboy got beaten up for no good reason. The rest of his gang did not like what happened to him. The lesson learned from this situation is that you should never hurt someone for any reason.…
