A meaningful theme brings a sense of purpose to any novel, and ties all the events together in a coherent way. Many of the most appealing storylines have more than one central idea which the story revolves around. The Outsiders explores the two reoccurring themes of "bridging the gap" and "honor among the lawless" through an array of characters and emotions. The message of "bridging the gap" is relevant in this novel because, there is a seemly insuperable gap between the two social classes, the…
