Outsiders Essay Have you ever been looked down at? Being categorized is a problem in schools and communities. Each of us was probably once a victim of categorization by their peers. Sometimes it is because of how much money you own or how you dress or how smart you are‚ but does this really matter. In this book a lot of the characters experience this. But I will only write about the three who were the biggest victims of this Social groups system‚ Pony boy ‚Johnny and Bob. One was a normal boy the

Premium S. E. Hinton Thing The Outsiders
Hinton has likely left the word “outsider” out of the book to let readers pander to the meaning of that word after completing the novel. To me‚ an outsider is Someone who is different from the crowd‚ but not in a favorable way. for example‚ an unintelligent person would be excluded from most social groups due to their negative trait that a majority of others do not have‚ this‚ of course‚ does not necessarily mean that many people are intelligent‚ rather‚ that most are not unintelligent. The word

Everything from the lyrics‚ the imagery‚ and the guttural vocals has been badgered by everyone who does not believe heavy metal is not a form of music. I am here to set the record straight.

S.E. Hinton wrote an amazing book called The Outsiders. This book has many amazing characters. So many of these characters are heroic. Darry has strength‚ Two-bit has loyalty‚ Dally has courage‚ Johnny has kindness‚ Soda has charm‚ but Pony has loyalty‚ courage‚ and kindness combined. That is my personal definition of a hero. Towards the middle of the story‚ Ponyboy displays loyalty. The author establishes this when Johnny stabbed Bob and wanted to run away. Johnny says to Pony‚ “We gotta get out

When S.E Hinton adopted the title ‘The Outsiders’ for her book even though the word “outsider” was never recorded in the book itself making it the title was an intelligent move on her part. However‚ an outsider‚ in my opinion‚ is someone who doesn’t follow the flow that everyone else follows. For instance‚ many things could make you an outsider‚ including your appearance‚ your family‚ the way you live‚ and how you perform with other people. But why was it so critical for Hinton to use the word “outsider”

Sometimes‚ just because you may be related to a person‚ it doesn’t make them family. This was a theme that was beaten into to us throughout the story of the Outsiders. So many characters dealt with fathers beating them‚ mothers turning a blind eye‚ whether it was from sheer will or from drug abuse. The “Greasers” and the “Socs” both had to deal with parents abandoning them‚ being neglected‚ and not having parents there when their own children needed them most. It seemed like if you had a kid in this
