Outsiders

Comparison Over the Three Curtis Brothers: Jahrell Teodoro In the book, “The Outsiders” are introduced in chapter one three boys named Ponyboy Curtis, Sodapop Curtis, and Darry Curtis. These three brothers also classify themselves as Greasers because of where they live, how they act, and how they dress daily.

The Outsiders P.O.V. I was so worried and frustrated with Ponyboy not coming home on time. I had the porch light on and hopefully waiting Ponyboy will come back. I was the only one awake Sodapop was stretched out on the sofa sound asleep. But I was just on the arm chair under the lamp reading the newspaper. I heard the door open softly and I looked up from my newspaper and I saw Ponyboy. ´´Where the heck have you been? Do you know what time it is?´´ I was so mad. I had never seen Ponyboy so…

In my essay on, “The Outsiders”, I will be arguing that the Soc’s and the greasers are not very different if you compare the two of them. This is important because people are always saying that the Soc’s started something or that the Greaser’s started something but in the end they are just two rival gangs that both do bad things in their own ways. I would say that I would not be classified as a Greaser or a Soc. In my opinion, the Greasers and the Socs are not very different; they both commit…

When writing about social inequalities and persecution, authors can have great impacts on readers. Two books that do so are It Gets Worse by Shane Dawson and The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Both authors, while writing about different inequalities, let the reader experience what it is like to be discriminated against, influencing them not to do the same.

Sunsets are a very unique way to capture the idea of similarities between two concepts. However, when relating to The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, it is completely normal; in fact, it makes total sense. The novel includes two gangs that were constantly after each other--and not in playful ways. They were very violent and were always willing to hurt the other side; they completely despised each other. Those two gangs were the Greasers and the Socs, and they lived on opposite sides of town: the East…

Outsider: The One Who Struggles Darshana wasn’t born blind. Her biggest passion had been painting. At dawn she would paint the sun as it rose in the early morning and later after dusk, the moon and the stars in the night sky.Her artistic talents made her different from the other teenagers in her neighborhood and she liked it that way. Going blind meant she lost more than just her sight. It meant losing most of the people she used to think were her friends, a large portion of her independence,…

“She looked at me straight in the eye. ‘Things are rough all over.’” (Hinton 34, 35). The novel, The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton is about a group of Greaser friends who get in trouble with a group of Socs. The Socs take it too far one night, sending Ponyboy and Johnny on the run.
