Switchblade

The novel The Outsiders by S.E Hinton is a story famous for the consistent theme of brotherhood and loyalty. The book takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1965 where the town is divided into two distinct social groups, the Socs’ (the rich and sophisticated) and the Greasers (the poor underdogs). The main character, Ponyboy Curtis, a greaser, experiences some conflict with the Socs’ which results in Bob, a Soc, trying to drown him. Ponyboy’s best friend, Johnny Cade, comes to his rescue by stabbing…

for PonyBoy, thats why he killed Bob. They were going to drown PonyBoy. If Johnny didn't kill Bob they would have killed PonyBoyBoy & Johnny so it was self defence. They would have killed both of them & thats why Johnny killed Bob. Johnny used a switchblade to defend aginst Bob. It was self defence on Johnny’s behalf. Johnny showed bravery by saving the little children in the burning church. Johnny went into the burning building that he started to save the children. When Johnny went into…

good and bad ways. It all happened at a church that set on fire. Ponyboy and Johnny were both in the same gang growing up. One night, they were being beat up and someone was drowning Ponyboy. Johnny, acting in self defense, killed the boy with a switchblade to save Ponyboy. Instead of turning themselves in, they ran away to an old church in the country, where no one would find them-until one day when the church caught on fire. These boys/delinquents are heroes because they saved five children…

when his old man hits him at least he knows he alive. He doesn’t like to stay at home rather he hangs out with Ponyboy and the rest of the gang and sleeps in lots. He got beat by socs and that frightened him for life and then he started to keep a switchblade with him all the time. He is the gang’s…

still robs stores for fun and gets drunk every other day. Thats not really a problem though. I guess when you’ve known someone for so long it just seems like a routine more than a horrible addiction. I know for a fact that he’s saving up for a new switchblade, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he stole one either. Steve Randall is still best friends with my brother, Sodapop. Funny story, the other day me and Soda were throwing rocks at each other when I dodged one of them and it hit…

similarities. 3 diffrences are Two-bit Mathews knife, chapter 12 and Greaser and Socs neighbourhoods. 3 similarities are the character's personalities, main incidents, many of the same conversations. In the book it talks about how Two-bit’s switchblade was his prize possession, but in the movie, they don’t really follow through with that. I think that if they would have pursued that trait, Two-bit book version and movie version would have almost been identical. In the book, after Johnny and…

MURDER!! We are talking about Johnny Cade killing someone on that night. He had said these words, “Stop it!”johnny gasped from between his clenched teeth. “Shut up about last night! I killed a kid last night. He couldn’t of have more than seventeen or eighteen, and I killed him.” He had killed bob because he did not like the socs and, to be honest and don’t know what the greasers have against the socs or the socs have against the greaser but they fight way too much and, that caused this young…

Does A Badge Mean You’re Above The Law? Although, police officers are expected to “Protect and Serve”, police abuse remains one of the most serious human rights violation in the United States. Over time the police have become questionable in their motives. With many wrongful deaths at the hands of our superiors. There has been too many shootings, severe beatings, and rough treatment. The saddest part is most of the incidents go unpublicized and overlooked, and the police walk away considering…
