Outsiders: A Narrative Fiction
I feel a great amount of pity towards all of the newcomers here. They all have a tremor quaking through their bodies, their eyes pooling with tears, and their throats tearing themselves raw. As the guards drag the three outsiders through the halls, I catch quick observations of the three.
All three of them are male, each with strange features that attract my attention. The largest - in every sense of the word - of the group has neon pink streaks that greatly contrast with his gray-brown hair. A shorter one follows close enough behind to the point where personal space does not exist. His scarred and calloused hands twitch towards the pink-haired one every so often. Following a good couple of feet behind and thoroughly restrained is the shortest

“I’m sorry,” he says. “But I feel like we can talk this out if you let me!” His voice grows in panic as my eyes continue to burn.
“My, my, the kitten’s got claws,” Mrs. William says, causing a flash of anger in Everett’s eyes. “ I can’t wait to see the other two. Andrea and Max will love to have you four under her wing.”
As she speaks, my body attempts to escape his hold but I can only hope that my will to not hurt new people is holding me back. Eventually the electric shock fades out of my mind and I no longer see everything under a dark red tint. I can breathe easier now, the tension in my body lowly leaking out. I blink my thanks to Everett as his hold relaxes. He gives a nod in return.
“Guards!” Mrs. William suddenly screams.
I quickly shift my weight onto my elbows and look around for the source of trouble. My eyes lock onto Percival and Nathaniel hobbling towards the exit. What are they doing? Two guards sprint towards them, shooting tiny tranquilizing darts at them. The quick smack of the dart hitting skin is enough to make me cringe. The sight of the two collapsing just adds on to it.
“What did you do?” Everett exclaims, rising to his feet.
I want to reach out to him and hold him back, but I know that won’t do much

    Scurrying of muffled feet, shouts of commands in the far distance, coughs here and there, and moans of pain reached the room. The boys fidgeted in discomfort in the sterile environment. Despite how many times they came, they still felt the discomfort. Was it discomfort from seeing all the sick bodies or was it Irene's body that lay on the white bed, frozen, without any sign of movement? Irene's once olive cheeks were now so pale that it would have faded into the bleached pillow if her burnt auburn hair didn't surround her cold face.…

He and his friends: Johnny (Ralph Macchio), Dally (Matt Dillon), Two-Bit (Emilio Estevez), and Steve (Tom Cruise), and brothers, Darry (Patrick Swayze) and Soda (Rob Lowe), are always getting in fights with a gang called the Socs. One night, best friend Johnny, are attacked by Socs. The Socs almost drown Ponyboy, and Johnny, defending Ponyboy, stabs Bob (a Soc). Pony, and Johnny find a church to hide out in.

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    Today more than ever, people are grouped into social classes based on their friends. You could be considered popular, or lame. This is not just true for middle school, but also life in the 50s. The book The Outsiders focuses on two main cliques, the Greasers and the Socs. One might think that the name represents Greasers, and what they have to deal with, but the real outsiders are specific people. The outsiders are the people who dare to be different from the stereotype of their group, who believe people should be judged on who they are, not social class. Major outsiders in the book are Darry, Ponyboy, and Cherry Valance.…

    Dear Megan, I am currently reading the book The Outsiders, and while reading I concluded that it would be the perfect fit for you. I have known you for the greater part of my life and you have been in all of my reading/LA classes (up until this year), therefore, I know what kind of books you enjoy and I expect this would be one of them. I trust you would enjoy this book because it has segregation, high stakes, and strong friends and family bonds. I know these are specific qualities that you have enjoyed in previous books, so based on this I believe you should give this one a try! Now before I tell you to just go on and read it, I feel it is necessary for me to give you some background knowledge about this book. The Outsiders features…
