There are many different types of social inequality, and with the help of authors, Americans need to end it. Several problems, such as financial differences, racism, and bullying are continuing to occur within the country. Although these have not completely stopped, writers have been using all kinds of literature to resolve them one step at a time. For years and years, social inequality has been a rising issue for teens in America, yet the human population still fails to end it. Because everyone…

and never asking where. They have more then they ever want, they don’t want anything else, so they look for something to want. Socs are always searching for something to satisfy themselves. Pony may have said that he that he doesn’t like how the greasers are too violent. They are always fighting whether it be with themselves or with the Socs. He also might say that he hates how they live a life with not a lot of money and they have to work real hard to keep the lights on. Pony would…

back to Central or South America are considered Latino if they live in the United States. Hispanic Americans, like many other minority groups in the US, have long suffered from the effects of racial stereotyping. Typical stereotypes include: the Greaser, the Lazy Mexican, the Latin…

there for each other no matter what. They can trust each other to help them get out of tight situations like when Ponyboy was jumped. The movie was ended well because it ended calmly and wasn’t over dramatic, which I personally prefer. Although the Greasers were still mourning after the loss of their friends, they still moved on like more people would instead of making a scene. The foreshadowing in the movie was also executed well, making the movie more interesting. In the book, the reader can’t…

The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, tells the story of two gangs, the Greasers and the Socs, in Oklahoma during the 1960s. Johnny is the protagonist’s best friend and a Greaser, too. He is really quiet and easily scared, so people in the gang treat him like he is weak and soft. But when Ponyboy, the protagonist, gets into trouble and needs help, Johnny proves that he is courageous and strong. He risks his own life to save Ponyboy. He proves he is much more than this stereotype by sacrificing himself…

So nowadays a lot of books old and new are getting movies and maybe even movies are getting books. But what we want to be looking at is what they put in or what they left out. We're looking at the compare and contrast of things. In this case we are talking about The Outsiders movie compared to the book and vice versa. In the book Two-bit was always making jokes and having a good time. I think Two-bit in the movie is similar to Two-bit in the book because he was funny and knew when to get…

“They was gettin him for breaking out the windows in the school building, and it was Two-bit who did that. And Dally knew it. But he just took the sentence without batting an eye or denying it. That’s gallant.” Gallant people are those who are brave, who are courageous, and most especially who are loyal. Loyalty is helping someone before yourself. For example, if your friend is getting in trouble you don’t just let them get in trouble you help them and that is loyalty. Justice is obeying the law…

Steve Randle, Dallas Winston, Johnny Cade, Sandy, Cherry Valance, Marcia, Randy Adderson, Bob Sheldon, Paul Holden, Jerry Wood, Tim Shepard, Curly Shepard, and Mr. Syme. Ponyboy is the main character, he speaks in first person. He is in a gang (greasers) but more of a family. This take place in Oklahoma but unsure about the year. But by guessing, somewhere around 1990 or 1980. Also in a lower class area. Ponyboy used to have parents but they died in a fatal car crash. Everyone was fine, maybe…

the significant aspects and symbolism that were connected to them were also left out. Although some scenes did not have as much importance as others, the absence of them left a gap in the story line. To start, several physical encounters with the Greasers and Socs are left out in the movie. In the book, Ponyboy is walking out of a movie theater when he is jumped by some Socs threatening to “give him a haircut”…
