1. In direct characterization I would describe Stewart as a Straight A`s student in his new school, then a B student at his old school. Stewart had to go through agonizing at his old school and getting bullied, plus he was the average Joe at his old school. Stewart didn`t know how to fight at his old school, because he lost every fight and sometimes considered. The ghetto red robin hood because he was poor. An money got taken from him by force. The only reason Stewart was in the gang was for protection and pursuing his dreams, of becoming a doctor. He was mentally afraid and was physically unfit. He lacked street knowledge also despite his book sense. Stewart was really smart getting a letter from one of the best high school`s in Chicago. They said they would pay his four years of tuition. Stewart was passing his classes with flying colors.

    One reason for teenagers joining gangs is to feel accepted. To understand why a teen joins a gang, you have to live in their areas and understand their environment. In gang neighborhoods, the majority of the teens may be in a gang. This is almost equivalent to a cool club, because those who are not in the gang are viewed as outsiders and members of the gang may choose to avoid them for not being part of their club. So, in an effort to be accepted and to be liked, many teenagers will join the gang. Most young people want to be accepted and want to be considered cool by their…

    There is not one single person in this world who does not fit into a stereotype. Whether it is a mean wealthy person, a popular cheerleader, or a “large and in charge” black woman. While we in the modern century do our best to avoid these preconceived ideas about a human being’s existence, it can sometimes be too hard not to indulge in them. Literature constantly shows examples of these stereotypes. Authors often create flat or stereotypical characters to create relatability between the readers and characters. However, these traits are frequently subtle, as the authors create the character’s persona through indirect characterization. The author can create a character that we already know by just using a simple sentence through the projection of a situation, an action, dialogue, etc. By using indirect characterization, authors can feed into our perception of stereotypes.…

    After reading, “Rest in Peace, Doc,” and,” The Outsiders,” I learned that people, (especially younger adults) join gangs for a spectrum of reasons. Furthermore, some may join because they have limited life options or they may join because they want to. Whatever the reason is, no matter what, it is an illogical decision to join a gang. People in,” The Outsiders,” joined for a few different reasons. One example is,a partly main character, Steve, joined from peer-pressure. On page nine, it states that,”He was cocky, smart, and Soda’s best friend.” If Soda was in the gang before Steve was, Steve probably wanted to be like Soda and/or, Soda pressured him into becoming a Greaser. In addition, a character in,” The Outsiders,” named Two-Bit, joined for the adrenaline rush or the adventure of it. On page ten in the book, the text states,”... and he was always smarting off to the cops.” This meaning, he always liked to be on the very edge of getting in trouble with…

    Characterization is the combination of all the things and author does to create the personality of a character in a piece of literature. For example, throughout the story, the read learns a lot about the character of Jack. We learn that he is a very determined young boy. He does not like to give up when he fails; he likes to keep going until he is successful. In the beginning of the novel, Ralph, Jack, and Simon come across a pig and Jack wants to kill it for meat. Jack attempts to kill it and fails, but he becomes very determined to kill one before they left the island. During chapter three, entitled "Huts on the Beach," Jack is once again not successful in the killing of the pig and becomes sad all over again. He stabs the pig but is unable to kill it. Throughout chapter seven, the boys are still trying to hunt down the pig but he gets away, once again. Finally, during chapter eight, the pig is finally killed. Jack becomes determined and awfully savage, killing the pig with his boys after torturing him continuously. (page 138) This proves the quote is valid because it shows that Jack kept failing along with the other boys, and his characteristic of determination kept him going until he learned from it and…

    When choice is involved (good vs. bad), a member chooses to do what the others would probably choose. Blackie, the previous leader of the gang, is a prime example of this inability to choose and his lack of self-discipline to do what's right. Once Blackie was replaced, he had walked away from the gang, had a thought about wanting to be apart of the new "hard" reputation of the gang, and walked back. The tone here is obviously that of one set on destruction – through material and immaterial. Innocence, their very beings (as they are only kids), is lost or corrupted…

    There are many different reasons as to why a young person may join a gang that lives in the inner city, however for this paper, only a few will be discussed. One reason that a young person may join a gang is peer pressure from other teenagers and the need to fit in. A young person growing up in a family that has gang members in it is another reason for a young person to join a gang. “One way to know about gangs is to know gang members, to live with gang members, to see gang members on neighborhood streets” (Cadwallader 2002). If a young person is exposed to gangs then the chances are good that they will join that gang so that they fit in or to make their family members…
