Pros And Cons Of The Outsiders

Why The Outsiders? S.E. Hinton never mentioned the word outsiders in her book The Outsiders. People wonder why The Outsiders is the title of her book, because it was never mentioned. S.E. Hinton has a creative way of writing because you can always picture what she is saying. Even though S.E. Hinton never called anyone an outsider in The Outsiders, it is obvious that she not only included herself as an outsider but also the main character, Ponyboy.

In The Outsiders, a book written by S.E. Hinton, there are two polar opposite gangs, the socs and the greasers. The socs, who are high class, have mustangs and “tuff” cars and wear plaid clothing called madras. The Greasers, who are lower class, are known for their long and greasy hair, wearing leather jackets and being hoods. They only have each other and always have everyone’s back. No matter the situation like leaving a door open in case they need to run away from home because of an abusive dad , they can count on one another. Ponyboy, a 14 year old Greaser, who is also the protagonist, along with other characters lose themselves while trying to be someone else they’re not. Hinton teaches us that it is important to remember that individual

S.E Hinton’s, “The Outsiders” and Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s ,“Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe” are two young adult novels with greatly different stories yet support the same ideology. Both works focus on the lives of two teenage boys, Ponyboy, of Hinton’s novel, and Aristotle, of Sáenz’s. The story of Ponyboy takes place in the year 1969, and focuses on a huge but short period of his life. It tells about his struggle as an orphan under the care of his two older brothers and deals with gang violence, socioeconomic status, and death. Whereas, the story of Aristotle takes place during the 1980’s and covers a long period of his life and involves his experiences with his relationship with his hands-on parents, his sexual orientation, and struggling with his awkward years. There are many conceptions of what is appropriate for young readers, but these two novels defend that young people should be informed. By examining “The Outsiders” and “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe”, this ideology of communicating mature topics to these readers is supported as the characters of both novels deal with the challenges of belonging, identity, and staying true to themselves, as well as reinforce the notion that adolescents can benefit from this knowledge.

The story The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton, was a popular novel because of how realistic it was. The novel was successful because it included famous people and items from the 1960s. These items allowed for people to read the story and make connections. One of the topics that was referenced in the book was Perry Mason. Perry Mason was a popular television series that made readers understand how Ponyboy viewed the courtroom.

I believe the Outsiders are representation sped up by the greasers like Ponyboy, Dally, Soda, and the others. They are extracted from others and are people that don’t fit in with the crowd. The factor is they are poor and are unnoticed unless they make trouble. These are boys who don’t care they smoke and act like a family. Unlike the other gangs this has no leader and have individual leaders. Like for these examples to use Outsider it needs to be defined. Outsider or an Outsider is a man or woman or group whom doesn’t fit with the rest of the crowd and ends up sticking out like a ball in a haystack it is extractable but easier than the needle. There are many ways to describe this like how in a crowd of people the Socials could spot Ponyboy

“The Outsider’s” is not considered a literary merit but will, be given the time too. It follows with two groups of people, these people are the Greaser’s and the Soc’s. They have a really big rivalry and have fights throughout the book. The main characters in this book are : Ponyboy Curtis, Darry, Johnny, Sodapop, Keith “Two - Bit” and, Sherry. The real conflict begins when Johnny and Ponyboy go to the park they sit there and slowly “The Socs” begin to pull up to hurt them, They then get ganged up on and Johnny helps his friend Ponyboy and stabs a “Soc” to kill him. They see that they are on the news and go to there good friend darry to ask them what to do. Darry tells them to go an Old abandoned Church and stay there until he comes to pick

In the novel The Outsiders, Ponyboy learns many lessons throughout the story. He learns that Socs are not that different than greasers. He thinks that Darry hates him, but realizes that Darry actually loves him. Ponyboy learns fighting is useless. Throughout the novel, Ponyboy learns that Socs are not that different than greasers, that Darry truly loves him, and that fighting is useless.

Ponyboy tells us that,“when you’re a gang you stick up for members. If you don’t stick up stick together, make like brothers, it isn’t a gang anymore,”(Hinton 26). This is what the greasers do for each other: they stick up for one another and build a supportive community. In the story, The Outsiders, by SE Hinton, the book is about Ponyboy and his gang taking care of each other because there gang is that they fight against the Socs. The characters and actions of this story create a supportive community Kindness and Loyalty.

The book, “The Outsiders”, has some similarities to the movie. For example, in both the movie and the novel Johnny died, also Johnny killed Bob in both the book and the film. For example, Johnny died in both the movie and the novel. “ ... The pillow seemed to sink a little, and Johnny died.” In the book Dally and Pony are at the hospital after the rumble and in the movie it’s the same way. Another example was when Johnny killed Bob. “” I killed him,” he said slowly. “ I killed that boy.” Bob the handsome Soc was lying there in the moonlight, doubled up and still.” In the movie and the book Johnny killed Bob when he attempted to murder Pony. Yes there are similarities, but there are also differences in the movie and the book, “The Outsiders”.

I liked The Outsiders book/movie because it’s about a group of greasers that are more like family. They have a lot of struggles but get through them together. They compete with a rival gang called the Socs and it gets very intense. Personally I can’t chose which if the book or the movie is better because they both contribute different parts. This paper is about the differences from the book and movie with the characters, relations, and scenes.

The Outsiders movie and book were mostly the same with a few differences. The Outsiders is a movie and a book from a first person point of view. The book is longer than the movie with more details. The movie is shorter with less details.

The book excerpt and movie clip of The Outsiders have several similarities and differences. The two different mediums have some clear similarities. In the text portion and film clip, they both show 1950s dialect. In the book snippet, Ponyboy uses the word “a’woofin,” which is sort of a slang word in the 1950s. In the film adaptation, the dialect and accents from Ponyboy, Johnny, and the Socs show that they were in the 1950s, along with the use of some 1950s slang. Another event both accounts have that are alike is that they use the same insults in the excerpt and movie. In both accounts, a Soc said, “You know what a greaser is? White trash with long hair.” In addition, Ponyboy also threw back an insult in both mediums, saying, “You

Have you ever felt like an Outsider? Like you’re someone the doesn’t fit in, you stand out or feel different? Have you ever felt you are excluded cause you have a different color of hair or are poor?You are not alone. Everyone has been there at one moment or another, especially this group of greasers. The greasers had it ruff, they wore baggy clothes, had long hair and were poor. They were always excluded from groups but their own. They were overlooked by the socs. Not many greasers had families, well nice ones. They were always Outsiders, in fact, when you come to think of it greasers are the definition of Outsider. They always stood out, they never fit in and were never talked to by socs, unless they were being jumped. If you were an Outsider

In S.E Hinton's The Outsiders, differences in one another have taken over society. This story is about a group of boys who aren't as fortunate as others, and are punished for that. In our world, no one chooses to be poor, no one likes wearing the same clothes everyday, and living just too be judged everyday. What we don't know is behind those faces, are people just like you and I, though in our world today, those people aren't given a chance. In The Outsiders, the less fortunate boys, are labeled as the greasers, and the wealthy as the socs. The greasers are like a brotherhood, they are 7 boys, who make the most of what they have. The only thing in their way are the socs, who continuously put down the greasers for being different. Through the

The Outsiders message is about “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” It explains that nothing good can go on forever and nothing young can last forever. It tells you about how and why we should enjoy what we have and keep and cherish everything we have to its maximum limit. Why shouldn’t we cherish what we have? Why do we need more? Why can't we be equally treated with same amount of things such as money and houses? That is the real question. We have that to this very day. In The Outsiders, their lives are exactly like this. They have their awesome rich people lives and the poor have unhappy lives. Some of each gang just want to be normal, the same, or similar at least. But their money splits them up. All because of a little extra
