    The Outsiders Book Report

    I chose the quote,"You cannot open a book without learning something" by the Irish proverb because I can relate it to my favorite book,"The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton which taught me lots of stuff that I did not know about. The book is about a 14 year old named Ponyboy and his two brothers Darry who is 16 and Sodapop who is 20 years old. Darry is in charge of them due to both of his parents dying in a car accident. They are all greasers in a gang and often watch over Johnny ,who is another greaser, because his alcoholic parents abuse him. They also have a gang rivalry with the Socs who are rich and pick on the poor.…

    The title of this book relates to the story, because in the book, Ponyboy and Johnny are "outsiders." They can be thought of as Outsiders because they are labeled Greasers although they do not act like hoodlums, like the rest of the Greasers. They are thought of as Greasers just because they live on the East Side of town, and because they slick back their hair. But Ponyboy and Johnny are different then all of the other Greasers because they show their emotions, and are sensitive.…

    Elie Wiesel Book Report

    From the beginning of the book, it strikes me how brave and passionate Elie Wiesel is. To be a 13-year-old boy and studying the Jewish religion intensely at time when it was dangerous to be Jew shows great passion and dedication to me about his character. His bravery is also shown when on the train to Birkenau and in Auschwitz when in front of his father he continues to stay strong. Reading about how the Jewish people of Sighet had housed Nazis reminds me of the hospitality certain Native American tribes gave to the settlers and the settlers abused that generosity like the Nazis did.…

The forthcoming tragedies wholly depend on the social constraints of those days. This setting is therefore of great significance to the enjoyment of the novel.
