Hamilton is a Major league baseball player who now plays for the Texas Rangers and was named MVP two short season’s ago. Josh is a premier center fielder and the captain of his team, for the average person you may think Mr.Hamiliton lives the ordinary life of a sports star , the pretty women , fancy cars , huge house’s and the six figure pay checks. Even though this may be true, living an everyday lifestyle was extremely difficult for Josh throughout his whole life , you would think someone who is so well respected and idolized by many fans throughout the world would try to live up to his expectations, but that was not the case for Josh , he was addicted to cocaine and struggled with many other addictions such as alcoholism and having anger issues with his loved ones.

So, when they met they were very disappointed because neither of them were this perfect version. Megham even said on page 132 “ I was horrified by the realization that I had invested so heavily in a made up character, a character in whose creation I’d had a greater hand than even Pete himself.” They may have know all about each other but email or texts can be very carefully written out while talking in real life, face to face, you don’t have the time to think about what you want to say.…

    This memoir from Geoffrey Canada is now a graphic novel which was adapted by Jamar Nicholas. It begins by explaining Geoff’s first experience with violence, when his brother’s jacket was stolen in the park. His mother forced the oldest brother to go back out and take it back, that he would get a worse beating at home if he did not get it back. This was Geoff’s first exposure, at four years old he learned that he should not be made a victim. The text continues on showing different moments from Geoff’s live, where over and over he was taught that you do not back down from a fight, even if it was a fight you were not going to win. The book shows an escalation as Geoff grows up, which is mirrored in the title, fist, stick, knife, gun, which can probably help you guess where the text goes. This book shows a lot of tension between Geoff and his culture. He has to do what he has to do to survive, but hearing it from his perspective, you can tell that he does not understand why life has to be that way.…

Hinton not only offers an extremely interesting and heartbreaking climax, but it also includes a smooth flowing detail packed story line. This amazing book has a tremendous plot; two groups of gangs, Greasers and Socs, are constantly battling and bickering. What makes this book amazing is the great symbolism, such as stay gold pony boy, that reminds readers to stay young and innocent. Although The Outsiders was written many years ago, the symbolism and representations can still be seen in society…

    Sometimes we find ourselves walking down the street, staring at the homeless begging for money or watching unique people ‘embarrassing’ themselves when all they're doing is having fun. The diversity in the world is so vast, and we find ourselves pondering whether people are different or just outcasts. In many books as well, a character ends up being an outcast or a unique, different person as a whole. When are we outcasts and when are we just ‘different’ from the rest of the world? S.E. Hinton’s book The Outsiders represents this interesting situation where some people belong in the path of the status quo while others seem to stand out more than they fit in. Throughout the book, characters are shunned for being outcasts, honored for being unique, or even both.…

No matter how hard the outsider tries to fit in or deny their otherness, at times seemingly part of the group, they will, in the end, still be considered an outsider.…
