even the most unlawful of people can have a sense of honor.

A time that I felt like an outsider was at a family gathering last year. Being the youngest and having a large family makes it difficult in meeting everyone especially being shy. So, meeting new people for the first time was a little difficult for me. When it came to family events I always dreaded them because random family members always come up to you saying “Oh my gosh! I haven’t seen you since you were a baby (you were a kid).” It’s quite annoying, but it's a normal reaction for most people.…

ANALYSIS OF OTHELLO FROM OUTSIDER STANDPOINT IN THE COGNOMINAL PLAY BY SHAKESPEARE As much as any character, Othello exemplifies how polarizing reactions to an outsider can be in Shakespeare, with the play`s great interest-and indeed Othello was from the beginning one of the most frequently performed and written about-resulting from strong and often opposite emotions.

Johnny Cade best fits my personal definition of a hero. Johnny Cade displayed his…

Characterization Essay The Outsiders is one of the best novels in I have read the young adult genre, written by S. E. Hinton and my favorite character is the main character Ponyboy Curtis.

He was with Johnny when he died and when he ran away with him. Pony also cares a lot about Soda, Darry and all of the gang members. He really misses his Parents and…
