Outsiders

Every kid who reads The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, learns something, in this case that “something” isn't good. What kids learn from reading The Outsiders is that they're allowed to smoke at such a young age, they're allowed to run away from home whenever they would like, and that they're allowed to carry deadly weapons around with them. All this stuff that kids learn from reading The Outsiders will carry on with them thru life. Maybe kids aren't allowed to purchase deadly weapons now or kids…

In The Outsiders, there are heroic deeds done left and right, their significance ranging from saving kids from a burning church to stabbing someone to save a close friend. I consider Johnny to be the biggest hero in this book. “This can’t be happening. This can’t be happening. This can’t be… ‘You really killed him, huh, Johnny?’ ‘Yeah.’ His voice quavered slightly. ‘I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you. And they had a blade… they were gonna beat me up….’” (Page 57)…

Outsiders Reflection I manily liked Ponyboy he was an interesting character he was not like the others. He seemed more open and curious and always thought out of the box. Soda pop is also one of my favorits then theres johnny cake, I like him because hes a shy one, hes the one no one would ever figure to kill someone. But then again its the quiet ones you gotta watch out for. The older boys I liked also they were protective and had each others back if that isnt a family I dont know what one is.…

“They weren’t looking for a fight, they were looking to fit in.” This quote reflects one of many themes from The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Loyalty, appearance, and Society & Class and isolation are just some of the themes that are brought to light.

The Socs are from the west, and the Greasers are from the east. Financially, the Socs have the upper hand, and the Greasers have more trouble with money.…

A famous quote from the Outsiders is “Nothing gold can stay”. That means that nothing can stay good or beautiful forever. I thought that the Outsiders book told the story very well. I thought that the movie was more exciting than the book was. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the movie was more effective in telling the story. To start, the first comparable scene is when Dally joined the rumble. Two similarities of the book and the movie were that Paul and Darry…
